house I'm a real estate agent thank you Oh Bernadette is on the phone, literally, I'm from sunrise to the sunset Oh, my mom, let me see what my calling is. I'm a minister when the Bible says, wow, it means, wow, Bernadette, her annual income is considerably greater than mine, so she feels that because she makes the most money, she should be able to. make most of the decisions even though she is called to read when a man does not live on bread alone it seems to me that there is a lot of anger underneath this relationship and I try to raise my children using the principles of the Bible but they always say preacher children are the worst, let me hear what you just said about my sons girls church, remember to talk about our keys.

Oh, Erekat Devante, they are my children from a previous relationship. I would like to bond much more closely with Eric and Devante. It's so wrong with him. How funny, I forgot to state the number one thing about Eric: he's very selfish, he doesn't take anything seriously and he doesn't listen, oh, excuse me. Vontae, same thing, they all just don't listen and don't respect me. How stupid if you weren't so disrespected I let you go super babysitter I really need your help I'm out of my wits and I'm begging you to come help me get my kids under control but I say you're me I've certainly seen enough and this family is waiting for a big wake up call.

You better wait. Hello. Hello. How are they? Very good. Pleased to meet you. Joe Kraus. Pleased to meet you. Children. Come. Thank you when I arrived. To greet this family, I was greeted by Charles, who was very smiling and happy to see me, so your wife is, yes, yes, of course. I would love to meet the family. So, okay, a wife is upstairs. I had to go down. Hello Bernadette. I stood on the stairs for quite a while which I thought was quite rude to be honest with you and she asked me for help and I came and she was standing there scrutinizing me instead of greeting me and inviting me to be in her letter home I love meeting everyone , my first impression was that she is a babysitter because she reminds me of a third grade teacher, can we wrap the computers as she introduced them to the children or not, as the case may be? they were too busy playing video games I just hope they aren't too overbearing then or for me Alvin yes they are usually rude there is no doubt this family loves technology but it really stops them from spending time together and talking to each other . give me the head you woke up this morning you're playing for 4 hours like many moms Bernadette really balances between being a businesswoman and also being a housewife but she seems to have that cell phone glued to her hey my phone is dying I can't stop that my phone dies in that San Dimas and this is my cell phone but everywhere I go where is my cell phone?

Do you have my cell phone? The worst part about Mom constantly talking on her cell phone is that she is a younger child. Charlotte is often ignored. Can you wait a second? Please, okay, wait, okay, little Charlotte joined me very quickly because I was giving her the attention she craved. I sat at the dining room table and little Charlotte wanted to climb onto my lap so she could play with me oh hi and when Bernadette saw that it certainly hit a nerve and I was trying to convince Charlotte to get away from me look up look the television watches the television and then you can't watch the television Charlotte just looked at it and I thought: how do you tell me every day for hours?

I don't want to watch television. I'm having fun just being with another person. She'd rather sit there with Supernanny. She didn't go watch television. I could tell that Bernadette was really being hard on her kids most of the time just sick of you yelling at each other. I'm thinking that game was going to help keep them quiet and get them out of my hair after seeing Mom yell at Brett. I wanted to take the time to talk to the two older kids to see if Mom's behavior was pretty typical, so what about Mom? She's mad down there like she's mad.

She is always angry. She is trying to make some of them bad children. We do not do anything. It disgusts me to do it, we're just out, it's not even like that and Charles, what a push a relationship like with him. I mean, at the end of the day, he's not your father, but I mean, he's just your stepfather. I mean, he raised you. I don't mind. He's put food in your bellies, he's put a roof over your head, he's been there for you, right, I wanna listen, I think he's free, look, hey, to chew, that's what I know I shouldn't be, So learn your lessons in here and you talk about Hartford. oh, he has a job because what he is a preacher and what he could do is do something else, so how much do you agree with this experience of me being here and unchanged situations?

I'm fine so you're 100% okay I want handshake for that name handshake thanks for your talk but after talking to Eric and xavante I realized that this family was all about the money and I saw it with my own eyes because a fight broke out at dinner time, when was the last time you took a trash can? Find out when was the last time you picked up your socks and when was the last time you did something without your mother complaining and prepare to fight about it. Words were exchanged and many feelings arose that there has been a settled path.

What we communicate with most of the time is shouting. I would like to give you the opportunity, Eric, to express your opinion on how you feel he has not provided a cushion for Bradford to support his family. It still seems like he's taking advantage of her, just ask him. One question here as a family is this, what do you absolutely want, man, this is not healthy, it got really late so I stopped by to watch mom put Charlotte to bed and I saw exactly how she did it and I was shocked that Charlotte was in her bed. .

She has a can of spray cheese and a bag of crackers. She's looking at the can and hoping the cheese ends up on the cracker somehow. Do you think it's appropriate for her to see it? It was a television documentary about gang violence. Just kidding, that's not what you want your child to look at before going to bed, she said well I didn't know, make it your business to know that I'm speechless right now so she sleeps in this bed Here, what is a routine? You have, I'll tell you what work, give me the stories or from time to time, what books does she like, what are her favorite books, but each little girl likes it, has a favorite, a couple of books, what you say are her two favorite books, I think she has my favorites. you don't really read much today mm-hm do you know how much she misses not having that interaction with you no one said she misses her not because she's with me all day sit on the bed and I'll start talking? to mom and I think she's realizing that I'm putting two and two together, would you say you're pretty defensive around me today?

They feel like you're making me feel like I'm not doing a proper job that I'm not doing. I don't know what my kids' needs are and I know that, but if you knew I wouldn't be here, is that true? I feel like I need help, she knows they will call her tomorrow, she is fine, I can't wait to talk. Tomorrow I really want to talk to you Tomorrow I don't want to talk to you so much Tomorrow I really want the day to be over so I can sit down and tell this woman about herself I really want to sit down and talk to Charles about what he needs to do to give a step forward.

I look forward to talking to them about their parenting skills and what they need to do to change. I'm scared why I felt like when she left she was like I can't wait to see you tomorrow I can't wait like oh my god it's like what's going to happen just one more day of conflict I don't think anyone listened to us much We'll see, we have problems that I want to talk about responsibilities and chores and exactly what these kids do, there is no doubt that these kids are lazy, to say the least, they don't have the initiative to get up and feel that let me do my bit for here I feel like there's a lot of a case of each for themselves everyone has their own video games computers and televisions these kids stay on the computer all day playing video games all day who knows who takes care of Charlotte well she's in the house and you're on the phone in your office and you're in your office reading your scriptures, so I may not be there 24/7, you know, looking down and reading books or playing with her, but I still feel like they are taking care of her, how? you define the word caring, it is totally unacceptable that you feel that it is okay for Charlotte to walk around and do whatever she wants, she does not take care of herself in a way that allows her to grow, Charles, let's talk about you for a moment and work.

What you do is dedicated, it takes time for you to preach but it is of no use if the man giving those sermons does not recognize the importance of his own responsibilities as a man in the home. I want you to stand up and be proud of the work you do and be proud of the work and do it as a parent and not feel like you have to apologize for it Bernadette let's talk about you you talk with attitude you're the big phone scammer busy busy busy no, no, just I have a drive and that drive is to not end up in a small department that doesn't help people and if I have a balance you have no respect, you have no respect for anyone else where you live. your own bubble you feel that time would allow you to be respectful manners cost nothing I can't change overnight you will only change if it's a priority you say He works very hard because he wanted to have a roof over his head Work, so what? humanity and harmony, you and 50 million other parents doing the same, well done, I'll sit here and give you a gold medal for that, but I'm willing to work with a couple of you if you want to change the problems at hand. this house I can, I can take criticism, okay, so let's get started, let's get busy getting started right, yeah, what you do, thank you, the first thing I wanted to address was making sure that at least Charlotte was going to be taken care of. a parent at all times, so I wanted to get mom and dad together to make a schedule, so the first thing we're going to do today is sort out our roles as parents, working parents, parents trying to raise a family, no one knows who's doing what I have a small baby running around the house and no one takes care of her.

How many hours are you three? They just don't do each other 30 but four hours. The next question is how are you going to divide your work hours and take care of yourself this day. Both parents need to spend time determining who is going to do what to find a healthy compromise that allows them to be happy doing the work they do and be in sync when it comes to raising their family. This is what we do if you're spinning for a lot of time with Charlotte in the morning. Okay, after lunch she comes down and sleeps in the afternoon and then for the hour and a half that you're with her you can multitask.

Prepare some suitable toys for her to play and have fun. That's fine, and you can do your work at the same time. Parental roles. I felt they were very good. I didn't realize I would be able to spend time with my daughter. Here we go. That's the TV we want I'm watching with a plan in action for Charlotte. The next thing I wanted to tackle was getting this family to communicate with each other and I was going to do something that this family didn't like, like this family has done. technology for too long as a babysitter there is no communication in the house so today stop stripping them of all technology today thanks to everything you want to put in you can learn here with Chavez's voices I mean, they couldn't believe this was actually happening over Brett and Joseph, we're running upstairs with anything they can find, hide under the beds, right, everything does this.

I am truly sorry that we have allowed technology to consume almost every aspect of our family life. Joe brought this clear jar where he put it. my cell phone was paying for everything there is no way my phone is going to sit there without technology all day I really want to say I'm going to kill it because my life was there in a cookie jar. I can not do anything. over all this is from my father I can hear it ringing inside the jar I can see the hidden phone numbers and I didn't touch it it sounds like a family member so when I couldn't reach out and touch it and a hug how long did we last?

I have to do this I'm not going to laugh it's an important support it was a drama in the house you know the phone was ringing bones saying its purpose was to take my concentration off my cell phone and put more on my children this family can no longer use technology now, which meansThey will have to get together and have a decent conversation and start having constructive conversations with each other. It seems like there have been a lot of things that have been hidden for too long. Nobody listens and everyone talks over everyone. Today I'm going to bring a soapbox and everyone can have their say on why you like it.

That soapbox just gave an opportunity for the whole family to express their opinion on how they felt about each other. I would really love to have a day for you. to be able to say that I was there for you when you needed it and I want to say that from the bottom and depth of my heart Eric I would like you to look at Charles disrespect

full

y see that he has been very truthful and honest here sure well I think the boy deserves respect for just to tell him that we changed, everyone is changing their habits, why not?

For years I have been treated like I was just trying to live off of her mother, but what hasn't been shown to you over the years is that I was there helping her get things done even though I was in the background and in the background. shades. Joe definitely opened my eyes to a lot of things by listening to Charles and understanding Charles and not trying to be a boss all the time, love. little one, so you've done very, very well tonight, we've done very well, they've never listened to me and until Joe opened my eyes and my ears, I'm very proud of how well you've done tonight, because I know how hard it is.

It was for you to swallow and it was, it has been very, very calm because Sally took that the next day so that this family is more united and the children behave better. I would have to get Charles and Bernadette and work on their relationship. I am married, hello, 13 years is a long time, tell me one beautiful thing about this woman who did not make you hesitate to marry her, she was very self-indulgent, one thing that won me over was the fact that he was a Christian man, things have changed. There has been bitterness, there has been resentment, there has certainly been a detachment and I think it is important for both of them at this stage to really look at the things that they have been expecting from each other and that have been superficial, but the things that they do remember and know about Cour.

She had Mom and Dad writing two superficial circles and calling the outer surface values ​​were their emotions of how they were feeling right now and that had blinded the core values ​​of why they met when she was chasing him. I was like, wow, I had to watch. to him like, you know, this is my boy. I thought it was comforting to just step back and look at what really brought us together, but I thought you were starting with one of your superficial feelings, there's no money, there's never money. negligence give me three things if you call he is honest he is patient and has questions die make some companionship love and forgiveness I'm sorry Chelios I had the opportunity to reflect you know all the things I really feel for Charles you know the time to take all that negativity, bring it back home like you know that's why I married him and these things are still there, God, you brought the questions I still marked about the couple still because I still love him, I think maybe one day you I started to see what it is The real me, you still love her.

I'm still mad at her for loving them if they love each other. Realize that as long as you keep dwelling on external things here in this superficial circle, but you. We are never going to get closer as a couple to begin to see the reasons why they got married in the first place. Sometimes we are so busy with so many other things that we don't reflect on those things and it really made me feel good that she. I still remember those things, please work hard on this to work on your marriage, basically, absolutely, this is your Mary Rose until death, so this brings everyone together, what I have here, our next higher steps and housework .

It is important that everyone is involved. and getting things done too, it's respectful to be in a house and make sure you take care of your own rooms, your own bedroom, as well as making sure you help keep this house in order and the kids. I'm lazy, I don't like to do a lot of work. Perfect. Each child has the same chore chart and on that board is a list of chores that he is expected to do or must do every day. I want you to delegate his tasks. It's okay today. Your task will be to make sure you do this today.

I would like you to do it. I have the option of never being asked to do one of those things. Devante, okay, can I see you for a minute? tonight wash the dishes and you'll put them away okay you want to wash them okay puppy love Rick you're just browsing where you need the bed Cho boards are absolutely fantastic. I was very impressed to see that my children were following their homework. graphics, good work and with a little tracking, you know, I think it will work, not like a little kid, another time, so let's play pool, now the kids are doing more tasks I need to focus on is Charles. relationship with his two

episode

s older Charles would really like to have a friendship with the older boys, so I arranged for the three of them to go to a pool hall and play pool, so I thought it would be cool to hang out.

I'm here today because you always have the youngest around. I think there's enough time to hang out together. You know, I do things that are bigger. This is great because I wanted to have the opportunity for this for a long time, but all three. The fact that we were going to play a few games of pool was a start for me to make things better. When you and Bernadette got married, you said yes to Herbert, but you also said yes to these two. I saw Bernadette, it was at that moment. of a single mom and I figured out the whole wife and kids package, so how's that for a good start?

Yes, something as simple as playing pool is a step toward the unity you want in our family now that Dad and the older kids are connecting. more I want to pay attention to Charlotte having a suitable bedtime in her own new bed, what is fizzy and no spray cheese, look, this is your bed, we all know Charlotte is bad, she is like a little princess, she is very pretty Isn't she that pretty? We're going to establish a bedtime routine, we're going to put her in this bed, okay, read a story, it's a good night, and we're going to leave the room.

I thought Joe was really there for me. She was. She was just so understanding that I didn't really understand how to put my darling daughter to bed, and honestly, she wanted to help me see how dogs blew people away. It was sweet to see Mom put Charlotte to bed in her new bed and read her stories. I just hope this family keeps working hard while I'm gone. There is a lot of work to do while I am away for several days. I want to see two fathers. We are going to do everything possible to make this change.

I miss her during these three days, but I also know that I have to prepare to raise my children and any of the wives that my husband wants me to be, you want to thank her, Joe, good night, two seconds after she leaves headed to the door. I don't have my cell phone please don't tell him after three days alone let's hope the Browning family hasn't managed to fix things let's get straight to the point what are we going to do Bernadette and Charles let's take a look at the first clip here, which is about the weather in Joe family come on join the family Bubba hurry up not us I'm trying to get on a table what could you have done to have more fun in your family time if you ask them what they do? you want to do then you use a rollback just sitting with video games and playing video games alone is 21st century babysitting video game television right, it has certainly been convenient for the two of you to have your children watching television and playing the video games that they need to convince themselves just suggesting isn't enough, so it's sadder than anything.

You have been deprived of the time you could spend with them and truly enjoy fatherhood, but where is Dad changing? Look, Mike's been whipped for some time. A deep from Hermes changed my baby talk from him, what's going to wait for a commercial and there are no commercials on a DVD, but that means Tashi was wet for a couple of hours. He was trying not to interrupt my time with the kids. He was trying. that family time and the kids say co-presidents, you knocked Mike down I thought he had a problem with that until he started watching with those jokes I think I had cooked something and I just sat down and to catch my breath and she tells me see running around and changing a diaper, well you know you didn't cook right, whatever it was, I went out and bought the pizza and something else.

I have not seen an effort that has demonstrated 100% willingness or commitment from one to the other. along with this I know that I am committed but I can only speak for myself and that is where the problem is because I am not sure to what extent Bernadette is committed to the same and that is probably where the problem is, it is me. I'm not saying she won't do it and I'm trying to put her down a little. We have that which has not yet been communicated. Let's take a look at the last but not least clip here, which is all about armchair parenting.

It will be me. Steal me, you're going to be my shell, come here, son, come closer, look, look at me, turn it off. What if you ever quit your job? There will be a job at San Quentin prison, that's for sure, but this is a prison here. I mean, you know it's the kitchen. I'm listening. These children need me to be the guardian. There is no love. There is no side of Bernadette that we know of that she is deep somewhere. It is very well said that these children need to listen and do what they want.

They are told but they don't see any balance. The positive attitude creates an energy in a house that allows for successful results. Today we are going to work on having some fun. It's about trying hard. I don't want to do this when they see. If you do it, they say okay, more will get up, we'll try, okay, let's get busy, then the DVD clearly shows me that his family still needs to work and that's a pain, so I asked him to prepare a sermon that Let him speak from the heart of his family, so I thought about the family out in the front yard, that's me, yeah, I've never had to preach directly to my family.

I thought it was interesting, twisting, okay, the text I'm using. It is from a book that is in the poetic books of the Bible called the Song of Songs. I have been made keeper of the vineyards, but I have not kept my own vineyard. First of all, I like to take the first three words. They have made me. Todd. He made me a husband, the Scriptures tell us that what God has joined together, let no man separate, so God is the one who makes us husband and wife. As I look back at our experiences of the past week, I see that I have been very negligent and very lazy and carefree in those areas.

It was really moving to hear Charles talk about wanting to be a better father, a better husband so he could take care of his own vineyard. These are the vineyards that I have preserved. and I look at them in relation to my own vineyard, my own vineyard, have I not kept it? I was moved because finally this man, you know, comes to us through a sermon. I have not kept many of the promises I made to my children, which is I have seen that it is negatively affecting them and I have not kept open lines of communication.

Wow, that was deep. I am determined to do better. I feel like I have to strive to maintain all those hats and all those responsibilities and then some kind of balance. I have to say that I was very impressed, I really was, so I really hope that Charles sets a very good example for his sons and his daughters definitely brought mom and dad closer and I wanted to take advantage of it to really bring them together. Let's bring out mom's fun side so this family can do something together and have a lot of fun, so let's play a knockout game right now.

Okay, you need two teams. The idea of ​​this exercise was to get the family to relax and have some fun, not run away from each other, one family member on each team has to complete this puzzle, this puzzle will take them to the next step, the losing team receives his marks from the puzzle, both teams have to run out to the backyard and use a water gun to reveal a message move it to the last part of the game I was really shaking it was Eric did you find the tag that made Bernadette Brett and Devante we're in for a cake in Lily's face loud enough was to come in our face so it showed that both parents were willing to have fun and play at this level, which I was very happy to see is apart from relaxing sometimes and letting their hair down and having class.

I think it was a great way to end our time with Joe. I'm leaving now. He left the Browning family knowing that they will certainly think about what they have been taught over the past two weeks. Look, I just want to tell all of you as a family. that the key is to laugh, relax, communicate, listen to each other and I just hope that you make those decisions that improve your quality of family life together. What has changed the most is that women must follow a better path. Now is the time for me. to pick up the pieces and put the puzzle together Popeye and I say to Joe, thank you.

I want to tell you that I am going to move forward. I will NOT be lazy. I'm not going to be an armchair dad and I'm going to do it. the best for my children
