I've never seen Nanny 911, but I watch Supernanny. I believe these shows are similar in concept. There are times I wouldn't mind getting Jo Frost to give me some help. There's got to be something I'm doing wrong at times.

My husband and I just got married and do not have children yet. When we do, we hope to never need Nanny 911, though I know it can be difficult to discipline children. I would hope that the children would be worn out at 1 Am and ready for bed, and if it was a school night they'd be going to bed lickety split!

As a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 5 yes I have! It's hard to suppress the urge to throttle them. Sometimes I wished I could turn off my ears, but then I worried that the kids would get into something and mess it all up. Kids are sneaky. I've caught kids throwing flour at each other, or when they were little pulling labels off cans, writing all over things.And those are the "cute" ones. I think my kids are the reason I drink...

Hello jj. When children get together to play, it is really hard to control them as they get very excited playing together and more energy will be gathered once they are excited. When I was a child, I used to play with my playmates till it was very late. We were children living in the same lane of the city...

That must've been tough to deal with. Sounds as if those children need a good old-fashioned spanking if nothing else works. You didn't say how old they are but if they're old enough to run around on their own, they're old enough to know better and they're taking advantage of you.

No, I wouldn't call Nanny 911 but I would go to the book I got from Love and Logic. If you get this book you won't have another problem. There is one for children and one for teens. The link is: www.loveandlogic.com and it is marvelous. So many things can be taken care of with just the use of common sense. Check it out! You won't be sorry!

There are times in my life where I consider calling something like Nanny 911, but then I realize that my chidren are just being kids. My son, who is three-years-old, is the one that is really trying me all the time. Perhaps it is because I have stayed at home with him since the day he was born or perhaps it is the fact that he is a boy whereas my oldest is a girl. That, I'm not really sure about. However, as I see him getting older each day I also see that he is trying to calm down. So, in summary, the thought has crossed my mind to call Nanny 911, but I know that my children are just being kids.

You're too funny!! I've watched Nanny 911 . . . I think those nannies have a lot of good ideas! And I think it's funny how some of those parents resist the tactics at first . . . but in the end it seems to work out for the best. Sometimes I think it would be a lot easier if I got help from someone else for those over-the-top crazy situations - but I think I'd have too much pride to actually call a nanny - hee hee.

Wow, there is nanny 911 there? It is great to call if you have the need there. Is it for free? It is really headache for the kids who are ver active and turn the deaf ear no matter how you tried to calm them down. But I think there should have the weakness for the kids after you attempt your ways. It is useless to yell at them while you are irritating at the kids' behaviour. But if you are meticulous enough, I am sure that you can find your own way, saying what kind of thing can attract their attention from one side to another, what kind of person they are scared to calm them down. You should control their habits on this, otherwise you can not control that situation there. Have a nice day and bless your naughty kids can be nice.

Yes I feel that too... When my nephews and nieces would be coming together in our grandparents house. That is when the most noisy day of my life ever. Before it doesn't bother me at all since I am not aware that what they are doing is already too much for a child like they have been shouting and fighting around all day and all night and their parents could not do anything with it. Since I already have a child I could really tell the difference now. And my baby could not sleep because of all the noises they are making. I hope Nanny 911 is available in our place.
