Fast Food Baby

[BSRU]

Watched the first ten minutes of this programme last night and had to change the channel because of the complete stupidity of some British parents.
A family that only ate takeaways mainly because the mother was obsessed with having a spotless clean house and cooking at home makes too much mess.
Their 19 month old son, drinking 6 cans of Coke everyday plus only eating high fat/salt/sugar take away food and lots of sweets.
The father stating he had no control over what his son ate, the same father who took his son to MacDonald's every weekend.
Then to get their few minutes of fame, allowing a TV crew to film how bad they are at being parents.

Utter madness. The most worrying thing is that in 18 or so years these people will be our future

Doubt they will make it that far....

It's too easy to become a parent!

 

[Angelfishsolo]

One can always hope.

[Angelfishsolo]

As the saying goes any "prick" and "c*nt" can make a baby but it takes real men and women to make parents!

It's too easy to become a parent!

It's nature's way..

Bet it was diet coke!

My little one seems to be blimpin' out quite nicely on takeaway Kebab and packet Birds custard every night.
Not sure why the health visitor seem's so upset.

As a fellow Swindonian you only need to head into the town centre on a saturday to witness the horrors of parenting hell first hand. Kids (that are certainly old enough to be walking!) sat in their pushchairs stuffing their faces with Greggs finest sausage rolls whilst the (almost old enough to leave school) parents are happily puffing away on their cigarettes. The future looks bleak...

Swap Swindon for Orpington and it's the same picture where I live.

What really got me was the single mum who looked about 30 who had already had a heart attack, and was still eating & feeding her kid complete cr@p every night! Beyond belief!

I had the misfortune to be in the town centre on Saturday and your description is a good one, just need to add the many smoking pregnant women each surrounded by their own brat pack.

What's more unsettling to me is that TV companies will seek out these extremes of society so that we can all watch the freak show and have our views of the chav reinforced.

Possibly that is the BBC's intention ?
