I have boys, 22 & 18, and a girl, 16. SOME of the Roloff kids' attitude is typical. But no way in this world would I let my kids tell me to "shut up." And I wouldn't let them tell their dad that either! So, all in all, I think they're pretty good kids, could use a little more ambition and a little more hygiene. I really like Amy. She seems like someone I could be friends with. And sometimes I even forget she's a little person. BUT, when Matt tries to discipline, Amy needs to back him up. Kids will lose respect for both parents when they see a lot of dissention. I wonder if Amy sees that or if she even watches herself on the show.

I'm intrigued by Amy. I wonder what it is that won't let her organize or clean the house, or accept the help that Matt has offered to have it done. I'm thinking about the anniversary episode, with the good china in the box on the kitchen floor. There was trash in that box mixed in with her good dishes. Molly asked if she could put up the dishes and Amy seemed offended. Actually, seemed like she got angry even. When my daughter offers help, I usually touch her forehead with my lips, just to see if she's got a raging temperature. Laughing

You are right Mary Beth, these kids do have it easy, and have so much handed to them, I don't think they are bad kids but badly in need of some re-assurance who is in charge.

I'm really surprised at Molly, being a girl I would think she would be more help in the cleaning area, but what has she been taught?

I have a couple of little grand daughters 8- 10 and it amazes me how messy they are , Their older siters are nothing like that, but then again they were never allowed to be, at bed time, all toys and books had better be put away, and bedtime was the same every nite, with these two, Confused

huh, some one else can pick up for them and bed time is a night mare, but only with mom, When they are here on summer break, never a problem, and it really makes me angry at their mom.

I really do like the Roloffs and I think Matt is a wonderful dad, I wish Amy would back him up more when it comes to the kids, he is not that harsh on them, and you know as old as I was when my mom passed away, if I would have raised my voice to her, well lets say I'd probably be getting some new teeth. and my mom was asaint.
