Jo doesn't do a perfect job, but I honestly think that she's a saint. You can see how much she cares about these people and how much she does in such a short amount of time is amazing. This show made me weep. It's so sad the state that these people are living in. The mom is lost, the dad is trying to numb himself and the kids are lonely (despite there being 10 of them) overwhelmed and sad. I just hope that Jo was able to help and that they are improving. I think this is one of the few actually good shows on TV. By good, I mean a show that actually gets people to take a look at their lives and think about improving themselves. Thank you Jo. I think that there must be so many people who are better parents and better human beings after watching your show.

I love the super nanny

Just because she visits a family doesn't mean she's supposed to change the entire family. She reveals the problems for face value. She bring to the parents attention that their children actually exist and someday they're going to grow up into people. And who's to say even after all the work she does the parents are going to continue to ignore their kids. Interventions don't always work when the parents and the children are set in the surroundings that are sadly tolerated. I'm actually impressed that she distances herself from the family the way she does. Jo lets the parents be parents because those are not her children. If it were me then I would call child services. Having emotional unstable parents, you can't get use to them keeping promises. She's the mediator for them to actually talk to each other. Which is more work for the actual family than it is for someone just jumping and attmepting to help.
