Poor Dan


I have watched every episode of this show so far, and I don't know how much longer I will continue, because the wife is so nasty and sharp-tongued to her husband. Maybe it is just the way it is edited, but she is so bossy, pushy and has to be right all the time. She treats him terribly. He usually has a deer-caught-in-the-headlights look about him, especially when she comes up with ideas for the family. Also, I notice, not only in this show, but others of a similar genre, the mothers are always so concerned about "making memories," and take trips here and there so the kids will have memories. I got news for the mom, the kids on this show will have no memory of going to Washington, DC, or any other vacation, until they are older. Maybe the boy, who is I believe six years old, may have vague memories of that, but no way will the three year olds.

I'm sure the trips are comped by TLC or some sponsor just to get the family out of the house, school routine and add a little variety to the show. the wives in these shows are the bosses of the households no arguement there thats for sure.

I honestly don't see this nasty horrible woman you're describing. I recall Dan making some snide remarks to Michelle and I recall Michelle praising her husband on more than one occasion. Kate and Jon Gosselin...I definitely saw it, but Michelle is no Kate. Dan comes across to me as a more easy-going quiet guy while Michelle runs the household. It's common to see such dynamics in relationships.

I agree the mother is a bossy bitch. Very me me me. I dont like this, i dont like that etc. The scene where she kept bitching about playing put put in the house made me turn the tv off.

That's exactly how I see her. She acts like she's too good to do house work. She doesn't cook (because the stove is too high) and she doesn't sew/mend her own kids clothes. What exactly does she do with all her time while her husband works to support his family? I feel bad for Dan because he's so over weight from eating take out.

My guess is her mother spoiled her as child, that's why she acts the way she does.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

Cardinal why are you replying to me?? I said NOTHING about Dan skydiving OR playing golf in the house. You misdirected your post .(Again!)

reply

I actually think he's hilarious.

reply

I find this show to be OK, it's watchable, but not nearly as good as "The Little Couple" with Bill and Jen,(Will and Zoey). I think because they had such a strong and loving relationship, and they were great parents because of it. I suppose little people are no different than normal size people, there are good and bad relationships. I just don't enjoy watching strained/dysfunctional families as much.

Do you have any little people in your family? Why do you hate Peaches? She's my favorite character.

Who is Peaches? What did the deleted post say?

reply

. And she could stand to learn some table manners and chew with her mouth shut. Let's see..


I never noticed Michelle chewing food with her mouth open. I think you're confusing Michelle with Amy Roloff from Little People Big World. Amy talks with her mouth full of food and then chastises her children for doing the same thing.

Dominic and April are never ever, ever getting back together!!

There was a scene in one episode where they were dining with another couple. It was definitely Michelle. Sorry if that offended anyone.

I was asking about the post deleted by the admin, which must have been a doozy.

I am actually surprised by all the negative posts that I am reading about Michelle, and the family as a whole. I honestly only just discovered this show about a week ago, but have watched a number of episodes. I just don't see much of what everyone is complaining about. The mom does not strike me as bitchy or sharp tongued at all. They don't seem boring or scripted to me either. I think the kids are adorable, although I do agree with one post that I saw, where it appears the boy may have some speech impairments. But then again he is only six, and we don't know if he is seeing a speech therapist or not. So far I like the show, and the family..

reply

I agree. I like this family a lot. But apparently women are supposed to be quiet and meek and remember their place. Blah. This family is great and the kids are really cute.
