03x12 - Mills Family

[bunniefuu]

[screaming]

NARRATOR: They're every
parent's worst nightmare.

Don't bite.

You're going to be sorry.

[screaming]

NARRATOR: Kids completely
out of control.

Give me the Kn*fe.

I want to k*ll you.

NARRATOR: And taking
over the household.

Don't do that.

NARRATOR: These families have
reached the end of the rope.

How was I supposed to
know I was going to have

three kids in two years?

NARRATOR: They're in
desperate need of help.

Shut up, everyone!

NARRATOR: They only have
one alternative left.

It's time to contact Nanny 911.

[phone ringing]

Hello, this is Nanny 911.

NARRATOR: We've gathered a
team of world class nannies

from all over the globe.

Each week, from nanny
central, they will watch

a video of a family in crisis--

Stop it.

NARRATOR: And decide which
nanny is best suited to help.

They will then have one week to
take our families from living

hell to a family bliss.

Give me my life back.

It's mine.

NARRATOR: Can these
families be saved?

I hate Daddy and Mommy.

It's an emotional
roller coaster.

Unless you get
this right, it's

all going to fall to pieces.

If you think you can do a
better job, get on with it.

NARRATOR: Parents of
America, help is on the way.

Nanny's here!

The nanny's here!

NARRATOR: Tonight, for
Kenny and Jennifer Mills,

parenting is a comedy of errors.

Dad's always got a punchline.

I think Nanny Yvonne,
she has the hots for me.

I have no idea.

NARRATOR: And mom's
the butt of the joke.

They're picking on me,
they're not respecting me.

NARRATOR: While Matthew's
a chip off the old block.

Honey, are you bringing
me something to drink?

Mom, give me my soda.

That's my boy.

NARRATOR: And it's
monkey see, monkey do.

He's wrestling around.

That's what boys do.

I tackle my mom.

It's not appropriate.

You joke about everything,
but it's not funny.

NARRATOR: Will Nanny
Yvonne get the last laugh?

If you don't get
a handle on it now,

we're in serious trouble.

NARRATOR: It's like father
like son tonight, on Nanny 911.

[theme music]

[pleasant music]

[intense music]

[screaming]

Matthew!

My name's Kenny Mills.

I have four beautiful
children and a beautiful wife.

I'm done playing.

My name is Jennifer Mills.

I'm 31.

From Orlando, Florida.

It's like 250 degrees in here.

No, not worried about
alligators at all.

Matthew!

We're a little disorganized,
I would probably say.

Our life is chaotic.

[screaming]

Matt.

Matthew.

Matthew's nine.

He's the jokester of the family.

He takes a lot after his dad.

It's OK for me to say sh*t.

It's not OK for him to say that.

And sometimes he says that.

[bleep]

Matthew's been
playing football,

and he does so well
at it, but yet he

just doesn't know when to stop.

But a lot of times, he
gets a little rough for me.

Matthew!

He's very touchy feely.

It gets to a point
where enough is enough.

Enough's enough.

Don't.
- Ow!

Madison.

And then there's Madison.

She's six, and she's the
only girl out of the bunch.

KENNY: Get off.
- Ow!

Get off.

Madison helps me out so much.

It's tough having
three brothers.

Matthew!

Stop it!

We're going to cuddle.

She's dramatic.

[sobbing]

And then there's
Mason, who is two.

Wants to do
everything by himself.

Always hurting somebody.

Mason, Mason, Mason!

Stop it.

He gets his way, and that's
probably the biggest problem.

JENNIFER: Sit down.

He doesn't sleep all night,
and he fights everything.

I'm going night night.

Uh-uh!

Mommy!

Then there's Maxwell,
who's the angel, who is one.

He just is a great
happy go lucky baby.

KENNY: Bring me that remote.

Kenny loves beer,
so on the weekends,

I'm pretty much his little woman
go get me a beer or whatnot.

Honey, are you bringing
me something to drink?

I tell her, yo
bitch, get me a beer.

Thanks, babe.

Are you getting me
another one then?

Thanks babe.

Thank God my wife is here.

I sit on the couch.

She gets me a beer.

She makes the dinners.

She takes care of the kids.

She even mows the grass.

Thanks for dinner.

Kenny and Matthew,
a lot of times,

they'll joke around
and say mean things.

Everything that comes
out of his mouth

maybe isn't the nicest thing,
but I know he's joking.

Yeah, go figure.

When my dad's watching
football, he'll never get up.

Honey.

Yeah?

Can you call satellite TV?

Sure.

I've always had the
final word in my house.

So great life, you know.

Put up with your wife.

You know I'm
going to catch you.

We're going crazy, because
it's just go, go, go.

Matthew.

I mean, when you have four
kids, crazy things happen.

We don't know where
our children are at,

and they're hurting themselves.

Where's Maxwell?

KENNY: I don't know.

I thought you knew where he was.

My husband may think
that we don't need nanny,

but we do need her help.

We're trailer trash,
we're white trash.

It's hard to teach an
old dog new tricks.

Did you just hit--
go to your room.

Shut up.

He doesn't have
any respect for me.

You know, it breaks my heart.

[music playing]

Mommy!

Matthew!
KENNY: Yo, bitch.

Get me a beer.

Well ladies,
what do you think?

Matthew is running the house.

These parents need
to start taking

their job more seriously.

Well that boy is learning his
bad behavior from his father.

They both need a lesson
in decent manners.

And who's keeping an
eye on the little one?

The lad shouldn't be left
on his own like that.

Yvonne, your
patience and good humor

is needed to
reconnect this family.

I'm sending you to help
turn the Mills around.

[music playing]

YVONNE: It seems to me that the
behavior in the Mills family

is out of control.

[screaming]

Matthew!

Say hello to my little friend!

YVONNE: Dad Kenny treats
mum Jennifer like a doormat,

and their three
sons are beginning

to treat little Madison
like a punching bag.

[crying]

I hope I can help
these men shape

up before the women ship out.

[knocking]

Kenny, somebody's at the door.

Hello?

Hello.

Hi, I'm Kenny Mills.

I'm nanny Yvonne.

This is the Mills family.

Come on in.

When nanny Yvonne showed
up, I had sweaty palms.

This is someone
coming into your house

and going to critique how
you're raising your kids.

Hello everybody.

That's a nice big smile.

You must be Matthew.

When the nanny
did arrive, it was

a little bit
overwhelming, because it

was actually reality now.

She's here.
Uh oh.

Am I going to be in trouble
for what I've been doing?

What I'm going
to do today is I

am going to be peeking
around corners,

and I'm going to
take some notes.

Having a stranger in the
house, a woman, a nanny.

Yeah, that was a weird concept.

If you wouldn't mind,
that would be lovely.

Sure.

Thank you.

I'm sure you don't all
sit on the couch every day

looking at nannies, do you?

I'm sure you don't.

Straight away, the Mills
family sits down for lunch.

Mason.
Mason.

- Stand up.
- Sit down.

Stand up.

YVONNE: I think it's peculiar
that mum and the kids

eat in the dining room while
dad takes his meals separately

in front of the telly.

It's very strange.

Mason, you want bread?

I'll take mine with a
little butter on it, please.

YVONNE: Dad acts
like he's in a pub.

When he wants something,
he just yells out to Mum.

And she serves him right away.

I would like to all sit
down together as a family

and eat together, but Kenny
doesn't feel like that's

important right now.

You need to go in there now.

Oh, I got the remote.

It was just easy to
sit right there in front

of the football game
and eat and turn the TV

up so you can't hear him.

He's not going to.

OK?

Thank you.

I don't know
what nanny Yvonne's

writing in that black
book, but it can't be good.

YVONNE: After lunch, it's good
to see that Dad is keeping

up with the dental hygiene.

OK, but, come on.
Come on.

Let's go brush your teeth.

Come on.

Brushing Mason's
teeth has been a chore

since he got the first one.

OK, Mason.

KENNY: Now we got
to brush your teeth.

YVONNE: But unfortunately,
little Mason has other ideas.

Back here.

YVONNE: I couldn't believe
mom and dad had to chase

Mason around the house.

Where are we doing this at?

KENNY: Right there it's fine.

On the floor?

YVONNE: And I've never seen
parents having to hold down

their child to brush his teeth.

OK, open your mouth.

[crying]

It's OK.

Almost done.

More like a t*rture for
Mason than a simple task

of brushing your teeth.
- All done.

Sorry.

Good job, buddy.

Little Maxwell is the
youngest of the kids

and seems to be forgotten
a lot of the time.

Maxwell, he's the
independent one.

He plays, and he
plays all by himself.

YVONNE: Playing alone at
his age is very dangerous,

and I couldn't believe
that these parents

allow Maxwell to wander around
the house all by himself.

JENNIFER: Where's Maxwell?

KENNY: I thought you
knew where he was.

YVONNE: Later on,
big brother Matthew

decided it was playtime.

Give him the ball.

YVONNE: But it seems Matthew
doesn't really want to play.

Instead he teases
and taunts them,

and he doesn't
know when to stop.

Come back here.

[screaming]

You know, boys
are boys, I think.

And coming from 11 brothers and
sisters, you either fought back

or you took a b*ating.

YVONNE: I'm shocked
to see that Mum

and Dad don't make an effort
to discipline Matthew.

And his behavior
continues to escalate.

Hey, buddy time!

Ow!

Stop!

JENNIFER: Matthew loves
to pick on his sister.

Come here, let's cuddle.

Stop it, Matthew.

He likes to push her buttons
and see how far he can go

with her and with me sometimes.

[gibberish]

YVONNE: Jennifer plays
along with the roughhousing

with Matthew, and even
though she says no,

I don't believe her.

Matt, stop.

[laughter]

I like to tackle my
mom because it's easy.

Kenny.

Kenny!

Come save me, Kenny.

YVONNE: But Kenny
just ignores his wife.

He's too busy causing
his own problems.

Oh, you missed me.

Oh, you missed-- Oh oh.

Uh-oh.

YVONNE: I can see that Dad's
behavior rubs off on the kids,

especially Matthew.

- Stop.
- No!

Matt, enough is enough.
Please?

No.

Stop.

YVONNE: Later as Mum
starts preparing dinner,

I begin to see more of
the interesting dynamic

between Jennifer and Kenny.

Honey, are you bringing
me something to drink?

Kenny orders Jennifer
around, and she

goes and gets everything for
him as soon as he asks for it.

Thanks, Babe.

No problem.

Jennifer, did I
turn the dryer on?

I'll check.

She even mows the grass, bro.

She will mow the-- she goes
out and mows the grass.

And I stay and watch football.

Touchdown, Pittsburgh!

Honey, can we get a fan
for in here or something?

It's like 250 degrees in here.

YVONNE: Once again, Dad just sat
on the couch watching football

while he ordered Mum
around like a servant.

Here's your fan.

YVONNE: It's hard
to watch Mum being

insulted over and
over, especially

in front of the children.

Are you getting
me another one then?

[laughter]

Thanks, babe.

I sit on the couch, she gets me
a beer, she makes the dinners.

She probably does have

of the family, and
she doesn't mind it.

Max, what are you doing, Bubba?

You're not going poopy, are you.

Oh man.

Do you want Daddy to
change your diaper

or Mommy to change your diaper?

Yeah, I agree.

Here you go, Mom.

[laughter]

YVONNE: As the day
comes to an end,

it's bedtime for everyone
at the Mills house.

Goodnight, I love you.

Love you.

OK, night night, Maxwell.

Night night.

YVONNE: Except for Mason.

Mason's never slept
in his own bed ever.

He usually sleeps on the
couch or with his mother.

Mommy lay right here, OK?

YVONNE: At night,
Mason runs the house.

Stop.

Go night night.

A lot of times Mason gets
his way because I don't

want him to wake up Maxwell.

Dada.

Dada's right there.

Do you want him to
lay down with you?

[grunt]

OK.

We've had nights
that he's up all night

long crying two, three
hours straight screaming,

and we just don't
want that to happen.

I'm going to lay right here.
OK?

Uh-uh.

KENNY: Where do
you want me to lay?

[grunt]

Huh?

Close your eyes
and go night night.

Good boy.

YVONNE: I've had enough.

It's time to have a serious
talk with these parents.

Hey guys, you look busy.

How's it going?

JENNIFER: Good, how are you?

Good.

I'm nervous to see what
changes she wants to make.

I don't know how well I'm
going to take to the criticism.

Let me just run
through a few things, OK?

Little Maxwell is the
youngest of the kids,

and he seems to be
forgotten a lot of the time

in the Mills household.

And nobody knows where
he is, and he gets lost,

and it's like "OK,
where's Maxwell?"

I would never
forget about Maxwell.

Just because he's probably
the best kid we have,

we wouldn't forget him.

And look at him.

He's too cute to forget about.

That one just kind of put
a little knot in my stomach,

because I know as a mother that
I know where my children are.

Well obviously,
you've got Matthew.

He's far too rough.

He doesn't know when to stop.

[screaming]

Hey, buddy time!

Stop!

That's my boy.

Let's see.

That's your boy.

Well you know what?

He's actually being
inappropriate.

There's a fine
line between having

fun and joking and being
insulting and insulting

behavior.

I don't think it's
appropriate the way

he talks to you, at all.

Face it Mum, he
treats you like dirt.

And Dad, you don't seem to mind.

And it's learnt behavior.

The parents are teachers.

You're supposed to teach your
children not only through words

but by example, and it's
through your example,

Kenny, that Matthew
behaves inappropriately.

I started getting fired up
about the whole situation.

I think she's wrong.

Your kids also should
know that, you know,

I've been on the Earth 35 years.

I do things different than
what you're allowed to do.

You know what?

I agree with you.

But are you teaching that?

So you better be
careful what you

put in, because
that's what you're

going to get out of them.

I agree and disagree
with that though.

I mean, you've
got to be on board,

otherwise there's no
point in me being here.

Nanny Yvonne caught
me completely off guard,

but Nanny 911 is not
here to change me.

YVONNE: After my
day of observation,

the troubles in the
Mills house are clear.

[whistle]

Come on in.

Football watching Dad
disrespects his wife,

and it's rubbing
off on the kids.

And Mum has no backbone.

Is everybody excited?

Kenny, are you excited?

I can't control myself.

I did go to bed
wondering how was

she going to change
things if I can't

change things around here.

Well, I've came up with
a set of family rules

that are for you,
the Mills family.

Now the first family
rule, all players

should always be accounted for.

I've noticed that
Maxwell goes missing,

and nobody knows where he is.

That upset me
the most, because I

know where my children are.

Where's Maxwell?

KENNY: I don't know.

I thought you knew where he was.

Now, the second rule is
if you don't have anything

nice to say, don't say it.

I don't care what they say
about you, you're all right.

[laughter]

Do you know what
that means, Kenny?

Yes ma'am.

I knew Kenny was going to
have a problem with that one,

because everything that
comes out of his mouth

maybe isn't the nicest thing.

No acting like hooligans.

I don't think that can happen.

Stop it, Matthew!

Ow.

Acting like hooligans.

You know, that's us.

The next one, everybody
chips in with chores,

because Mum seems
to do everything.

I do a lot of the chores.

I do-- I do the dishes,
I do the laundry.

Jennifer, did I
turn the dryer on?

I'll check.

And everyone's
going to help Mum.

Ah, man.

You're all going to do chores.

Right.

Does anybody know what this is?

It's a reward board.

The reward board, it's OK.

You're going to have to
earn things from now on.

You don't just get given them.

You earn them.


It's up to Mum and Dad to
decide which reward you get.

When I get 10 footballs
and get a touchdown,

I think my dad will probably
get me a big surprise.

And let me tell
you something else.

If you do something wrong,
I am going to throw penalty.

And there will be consequences
if you get a penalty.

Nanny's plan--

It's obviously not
foolproof, and what she says

isn't always going to
work for every family.

Are you quite clear
on everything, Dad?

Oh, I am clear as a bell.

YVONNE: OK, good.

Kenny is very
strong headed, and I

hope he goes for the changes.

But I have my doubts.

I want you to carry
on again as normal,

and I'm going to be watching.

It's hard to teach
an old dog new tricks.

YVONNE: Right away, the Mills
team is off to a strong start.

Hey!

The kids are helping
Mum with all the chores.

Good boy, doing the
dusting for Mummy!

And here's the other
guys chipping in.

The reward board, the
kids I think just love.

I think they can relate to it.

Sure.

It seems like they
want to do things

and they want to be acknowledged
that they've done something

good and they want
to be able to get

another ten yards on the
board and score a touchdown.

Getting closer.

YVONNE: Well done.

Getting closer, good job.

I love getting
those cheerleaders.

Madison, where
did you find this?

YVONNE: With all the commotion
surrounding chores and rewards,

it looks as if Mum has
forgotten the youngest child.

Maxwell was overlooked and
not being kept an eye on.

The socks on the chair?

Do you think that's
where they belong?

This is definitely
calls for a penalty.

Penalty, Mum.

One of the rules has
just been broken.

Leaving Maxwell alone?

YVONNE: Yeah, exactly.

[baby babbling]

And that really can't happen.

It really can't happen.

I thought I kept a
good eye on Maxwell.

YVONNE: But you've
got to remember this.

I mean, he's on his own in here.

Right.

I mean, we just can't do that.

OK.

I felt really bad.

YVONNE: Later on, it
was homework time.

Madison was working
hard, but Matthew was

playing a video game instead.

Matthew, you have to
put the game away, buddy.

Why?

Because I said you
have to put it away.

Why?

Because you have to.

You have to turn it off.

Why?

Matthew wasn't
listening to his Mum.

He completely ignored her
and started arguing with her.

JENNIFER: Matthew.

Just tell me why.

Because you're
not allowed to, OK?

That's it.

YVONNE: Matthew
refused to obey her.

[whistle]

And that's a major infraction.

OK.

Unsportsmanlike conduct.

You just got a penalty.

Penalties are awful.

I don't think that's
appropriate for this stuff.

Any chores you
need doing, Mum?

Um, sure.

I can think of some
chores I need doing.

Matt, you want to
get the laundry out?

I was surprised.

I was really happy to see
that and really amazed that he

went through it and did it.

Well done.

First penalty, and you
took it like a trooper.

Now it's time for dinner.

Let's see if they can make
it through without Dad

picking on Mum.

The whole thing fell apart.

Talk about cheap furniture.

I thought you were cheap.

Cheap is cheap.

There's no other
way to explain it.

She is cheap.

Oh, that's rule number one.

YVONNE: Kenny is
crossing the line.

That's honesty.

She admits, are you cheap?

[baby babbling]

We should follow the rules.

It was, actually.

To call your wife cheap
in front of the children,

I find it insulting.

And one of the rules is
don't say anything insulting.

It's true!

[whistle]

Penalty.

Right, now you've got
to clear these up.

So I called her cheap, and she
throws a penalty flag on that?

I'm like, that's
unbelievable to me.

She is cheap.

She is.
Ask her.

No, no.
That's insulting.

That's crossing-- that's
crossing the line.

You should use frugal.

Yeah, I'm just the kind of guy
who goes around saying frugal.

Hey guys, I'm frugal.

I think nanny Yvonne is
picking on me a little.

Maybe she has the hots for me.

I have no idea.

At the end of the day,
I knew that my biggest

problem was going to be Kenny.

And sure enough, I find
Kenny up to no good.

She helps us be
nice to each other.

I don't know that
a nanny does that.

Not-- not-- not my
definition of nanny.

My definition of a nanny-- let
me-- let me start you guys off.

Let's see.

Nanny would probably
what, cook dinner?

The kids and I, we made
a list about basically

what we thought a nanny did.

How about clean?

Yeah, clean.
Yeah.

Clean the house.

Clean the dishes.

I'm not there to do
Kenny's laundry and dishes.

I'm there to help his children.

We're all in agreement
here that so far--

Nanny Yvonne criticized, but
she hasn't cleaned a thing.

You know?

What do you think?

Yeah.

Kenny really wasn't interested
in the rules whatsoever.

His behavior was
reflecting on the children,

and everything was just
becoming a joke with them.

Mills family list.

That's fantastic.

I don't know what it
will take for Dad to wake

up and see the
damage he's causing.

The next morning, I see
firsthand how Dad's disrespect

rubs off on the kids.

How are you doing?

Can I have a hug?

Matthew is behaving just
as disrespectfully as Dad

and went after his sister.

[crying]

Madison dramatizes everything.

You know, he may have
not done hardly anything,

but she's screaming
hysterically.

If I'm in the living room
on Sunday watching football

and I don't want to be
bothered, I'm irritated.

What did he do?

What, did he throw the ball
and hit you in the back?

[sobbing]

YVONNE: Of course, Dad does
nothing to solve the problem,

and things just get worse.

Say hello to my little friend!

You know, he's not doing
anything unnatural or anything.

He's wrestling around.

That's what boys do.

[screaming]

You're all right.

Stop.

Kenny didn't
reprimand Matthew at all

for behaving like a hooligan.

He just laughed and joked.

This is ridiculous.

And when Matthew is
done picking on Madison,

Dad begins to pick on Mum.

Hey, way to pick
out good fruit.

JENNIFER: I don't see you
going and picking it out.

KENNY (MOCKING): I don't see
you going and picking it out.

Hey, thanks for
the thought, babe.

Next time you go up
there and get them.

KENNY (MOCKING): Next time
you go up there and get them.

Kenny just doesn't get
the fact that he's insulting

and he's not teaching his
children the correct way

to speak to women.

Once in a while
he'll say things,

and I've just
gotten to the point

where I know he really loves
me, but I want him to stop.

No?
You sure?

I'm sure.

You know what?

We could trade her in.

MADISON: I don't want to.

We could get the
Rolls Royce edition.

YVONNE: Jennifer had
become numb to what

her husband was actually doing.

You know what I'm saying?

Huh?

I mean, of course unless you
find a good husband like me.

Right?

Mm, they're good.

At least she got
the grapes right.

YVONNE: If I can't
get through to Kenny,

maybe I can make Jennifer
understand how her husband's

behavior is affecting the kids.

It's time to sit Mum down.

I won't be here for
too much longer,

and I want to make sure that
we are working together,

and I'm fixing some
of the problems.

Right.

I'm very concerned about
the way Kenny treats you

in front of the
kids, but I don't see

you telling him when to stop.

She's right.

If we don't start
being more serious,

then things are going
to get out of hand.

You're a role
model for Madison,

she's going to be
a woman one day.

And it just-- to
teach her that it's

OK for that to happen to you,
it's not-- it's not right.

Yeah, and I hadn't really--

I hadn't really
thought about it I

don't think from
Madison's perspective

as far as it's OK to
get hurt by a boy,

as far as being that rough.

And I don't want her to
think that it's acceptable.

He thinks it's OK to order
you around and "get me a beer"

and you know, call you names.

And it's becoming insulting.

He doesn't have
any respect for me.

I don't want your children
to see that kind of behavior,

because it's not a
very good role model.

Got to stop it now.

I kind of have taken it
as a joke for many years,

and that it really
doesn't affect me.

But I saw her point
of view in the sense

that it is affecting the kids.

But you have to
stand up to Kenny.

OK.

YVONNE: I hope Mum sees
how serious this is

and that she'll begin
to stand up for herself.

And later, once again,
dad's up to his old tricks.

Jennifer, what are you doing?

I'm putting the dishes away.

What, what do you need?

Yo, [muted],, you
think you could

get us a sandwich or something?

Please?

YVONNE: I hope Mum took
our conversation to heart

and will set a good
example for the children.

Matthew was sitting
right next to him,

and it was her time
to stand up to him.

He had called me in there
and was telling me to get him

and Matthew a sandwich, and the
way he said it wasn't a very

polite or nice way to say it.

It's not acceptable.

We don't want the
nanny to change my wife.

Did she get the
outline of that, or no?

I know you're probably joking,
but the kids are sitting right

in here, and they don't know.

Could you please not
talk to me like that?

Sorry.

Touchdown for
Jennifer and nanny.

It's great to see Mum finally
standing up for herself,

but I still don't seem to
be getting through to Dad.

KENNY: Move back.

YVONNE: It may be
just a joke to him,

but his constant insults are
taking a toll on this family.

And later, while Mum
is preparing lunch,

Matthew and Dad continue
to rule the roost.

Great kick.

Not really.

Mom, can you give
me my soda, please?

Matthew was a
carbon copy of Kenny.

This week though, I've
kind of picked up the fact

that maybe it's not
appropriate for him

to be like Kenny all the time.

YVONNE: Mum ignores Matthew,
but dad eggs him on.

Mom, can you give
me my soda please?

Mom, can you get me
something to drink?

He knows he can
walk over his mom.

Maybe it's he sees that she
gets me the drink or something.

I don't see one.

You're blind.

Mom, say hello to this guy.

JENNIFER: Well now that you're
up, you could get it, right?

Matthew wants to
be just like Kenny.

He's doing this probably a
lot because of Kenny the way

that Kenny acts.

I was really angry at Kenny
for letting this behavior go

and not addressing it at all.

And as much as I
wanted to step in,

I had to give them a chance
to do this on their own.

But later, Matthew's verbal
as*ault on Mum turns physical.

When Matthew's
horsing around with me,

I want him to be a kid, I
want him to have a good time.

But sometimes I'm annoyed
with it, you're hurting me,

and I want him to stop.

Oh no!

I'm not done with you!

Matthew, don't.

I'm not done.

- Stop.
- Let's play some more.

Matthew!

YVONNE: I watched Jennifer
being tackled by her son.

You're being too hard.

It's absolutely fine to play
around with your children,

but not to become a doormat.

Stop.
OK?

Enough's enough.

YVONNE: And although Mum
was holding her ground,

Matthew just doesn't
know when to stop.

JENNIFER: Do you want
me to get Daddy on you?

Kenny, can you
come get your son?

YVONNE: And when mom
pulls Dad into the mix,

Kenny does nothing at all.

That's my boy.

That's all I can say.

YVONNE: Enough is enough.

I have to get through to
Kenny before it's too late.

All I want to say to you is
we need to do something now.

He's nine years old.

You know, he's
getting to the point

where he's going to
be a teenager soon.

And if you don't get
a handle on it now,

we're in serious trouble.

I had to make it
very clear to Kenny

how serious this could
be for his children.

You're his role
model, you're his guy.

He mimics you.

That's what you're teaching him.

I don't think I
turned out all that bad.

I just don't want him to
get himself into a situation

that he can't get out of
because we haven't helped him.

To me, he's feeling out what
he can do and what he can't do.

No, but you don't
stop him though.

Yeah, there's
your point of view,

and there's my point of view.

He was just negative and
wasn't interested at all.

I want you to explain
to me how you feel

it's right for a 35-year-old
man to talk to his wife,

you know, in a kind of I
think derogatory manner.

You know, there's a line
between joking and insulting.

Our vision of nanny
coming in wasn't to fix me.

You know, it was to
help Matt get better.

It was to help all the
kids really get better.

Because he's mimicking you,
and because you are basically

his complete role model.

And you know, if he says half
of that stuff to half the women

out there, they're
not going to like it.

I didn't say that the women
out there until I married one.

You know, only the man
upstairs is going to judge

whether that's right or not.

Not me, or not you.

I had to make it very clear to
Kenny I wasn't there to insult

him or pick on him.

I was there to
help the children.

I don't think you're
a bad dad at all.

Not at all.

And then I'm here to
help you, and I am.

Believe you me, I'm
not here to just--

I'm not here to just berate you.

I just want you to see
where I'm coming from.

Change isn't easy.

That's the best way
I can describe it.

But we're going to give
it the old college try.

Well good, because we want
Matthew to be the best he can.

All right?

Gotcha.

Will you have a conversation
with Matthew at some point?

I will have a
conversation with Matt.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

All right.
KENNY: All right.

OK.

I wasn't sure that Kenny
understood what I was saying.

We'll see.

Soon after my talk
with Dad, Matthew

was roughhousing as usual.

It will be interesting to see
if I finally got through to Dad.

KENNY: Matthew, get off of him.

Go to your room.

You don't do the disciplining.

You're not the one.

When it got out of control,
Dad actually stepped in.

Matthew, go to your room now.

It is coming from me.

You know, I can't deny it.

What Matt's doing,
it is coming from me.

She's right.

And then, Dad actually went
to have a talk with Matthew.

Sup, buddy?

Sup?

Heart to hearts
are hard for me.

I get choked up real
easy, especially dealing

with my kids or my wife.

You're a fine kid,
don't get me wrong.

We have a good time.

Right?

This is the
conversation where we

got to know when the good time's
over and we have to be serious

and all that.

Nine years old, you're
setting the example now.

You're the oldest.

And I want you to lead
the way in the right way.

Even Madison.

I know your horse play with her,
but when she tells you to stop,

you know, basically
you need to stop.

She shouldn't have to tell
you four or five times.

To look over and see Kenny
have tears in his eyes,

that just, you know,
it breaks my heart.

It's in there, and I know
I probably horse around,

and you get it from me.

Because I'm an idiot doesn't
mean you have to be one.

You understand where
I'm coming from?

So these are things
we have to work on.

You know I love you, right?

Sure?

OK.

Love you.

You want the best
for your family.

And you know, you need a
heart, I give it to him.

You know, whatever.

I couldn't be
more proud of Dad.

Obviously he's listened to me
and decided to make a change.

In the coming days, things
were starting to look

up in the Mills household.

Give me a catch.

Good throw.

YVONNE: I am thrilled
to see the family has

begun to eat meals together.

And I'm happy to see
the men in the family

starting to treat the women
with the respect they deserve.

I really think
Dad's new behavior

will have a positive effect
on the children, especially

Madison.

- Orange.
- Deck?

Deck.

Deck.

YVONNE: When I arrived, these
parents didn't take Matthew's

bad behavior seriously.

Enough is enough.

You hear me?

That's not nice.

YVONNE: Now they
are addressing it.

Seeing that the Mills
family can have fun

without anyone getting
hurt, I know that the week

has been successful.

How about where's my kiss?

No, Daddy's kiss.

YVONNE: But my work
here is not quite done.

I have to be sure that Kenny
is helping Mum with the chores.

It's like the
light bulb went on.

I'm double pitching.

I'm doing the dishes,
I'm doing the laundry.

Whose sock is this?

You're setting a really
good example there.

Fantastic.

Jennifer was actually getting
a break at the end of the week

with everybody chipping
in with the chores.

KENNY: Pull that out
and put her in there.

JENNIFER: Kenny I guess
had instructed the kids

and kind of got them motivated,
so it was a nice surprise.

Yeah, we got dirty
dishes to put in there.

Everybody chipping
in with chores,

I think that is one
rule that will stick.

Oh, thanks, buddy.

YVONNE: And before I leave,
Dad has a surprise for me.

I got something I think
appropriate since we

butted heads so much this week.

Oh yeah?

I got you a little set up.

Figured, you know, we
could go to the front yard

and take care of a
little business here.

I got nanny Yvonne a
set of boxing gloves.

I figured, you know,
we'd been butting heads,

and this was showing she
won me over, you know,

that I'm starting
to be on her side.

None of the laughter and
joking has been taken away.

It's genuine, happy fun.

This is the nicest
present I've ever had.

I think he kind of
saw that, hey, look.

She's genuine, she's
really here to help.

He's totally turned around as
far as his feelings for her.

- Thanks.
- You are very welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's about having fun,
and she's a good sport.

YVONNE: Now all that's left
to do is to say goodbye.

Mills family, come on in here.

Hello.

Hello.

Well actually, it's hello,
but it's really goodbye.

Ah, man.

It was time for
me to say goodbye,

and I wanted to tell the family
how proud and pleased I was.

I think we've had
a fantastic week,

and we've achieved
everything, I believe,

that we all wanted to do.

And I want to actually
thank all of you.

Her personality
just really fit us.

She cares, she's sincere.

She's not here for her.

She's trying to help.

You've been amazing.

It was a very successful week.

The seeds I've planted
in the Mills family

were beginning to grow,
and my work was done.

Thank you so much.

I'm really going
to miss nanny Yvonne.

Jennifer.

Gonna make me cry.

Don't.

I never cry.

It's amazing how close
you get to nanny Yvonne.

Kind of emotional, as far as
just to see all the changes

going on.

I guess.

Kenny, it's been fun.

KENNY: She helps
the whole family.

It's not just the
kids, you know.

Nanny really in this instance
helped the parents out.

And I know that
everything I've said to you,

you've taken on board.

To see that he was
really affected by her,

I mean, it was neat to see.

All right, guys.

Use your manners.

Bye bye.

YVONNE: Unfortunately, it's time
to leave this wonderful family.

All in all, it's been
a successful week.

The Mills family is truly
one of the most loving

families I have ever met.

[music playing]

Guess what.

He's asleep.

Yes!

Touchdown!

Well done!

- Good job.
- Good job, Kenny.

Good job, Jennifer.

I mean nanny.

OK.

What is this?

Mason asleep on three.

One, two, three.

Mason asleep!
