Terry is such a momma's baby. I can"t believe he can't see how much his parents are using him. His parents are clearly short of a few brain cells. Ingrid was absolutely right to divide the money between the kids.
Johny Bravo there’s a fine line between caring for your family and enabling their bad decisions. It is not the child’s responsibility to help his parents. They should have been better role models so that he can do better for himself and then care for them when they are too old to provide for themselves. That is the natural order.
Johnny Bravo, I get what you are saying, but gifts of love should not be an obligation. As the other responder stated, there is a fine line, and families tend to have a bad habit of blurring the line between family love, family loyalty, and abuse of that love and loyalty. Unemployed parents who lay on the couch all day and don't contribute to the well being of their family do not deserve the undying love of a child, and have no right to expect or demand it.
@@GlitterPoolParty Are vice versa cases too,i know its bad but its that kind of problem who need psychologist.My dad its in same situation, and if i proper him up, its because i cant let become another homeless lost cause.
It was honestly terrifying to know that those two people at one point were raising small children. They got extremely lucky that the two kids turned out pretty dang good. But the thought of them taking care of small children and even babies at one point made me literally ill. That man especially is a horrendous person. He was drinking before he picked that woman up. Then saying he didn't give a shit about bills? How is he even alive still?
Some people are like cockroaches... they survive everything, and always show up when you don’t want em (ie when they think they can get something from you! Free food, $$, a favor, you name it.)
Reality TV takes people and asks them to live far more extreme than they actually do. They pay people to play up the drama. They may not live glamorously but they don’t live the way that is portrayed on the show. And they are both still alive lol
This episode disturb me so bad! I really don’t think the lazy mom and dad knows how bad they were. I hope one day they read all these comments, and change.
But didn’t you hear her say she’s doing it to be a good mom? by not working shes teaching her kids to take care of themselves. I really had no idea someone could be THAT delusional and not be embarrassed by…well…EVERYTHING SHE SAYS AND DOES
She DID realize how much the boy helps the Woppers, that’s why she wants him to move out and make a life of his own and his parents can/should help themselves more!
Heather deserves so much more. She gives her whole paycheck to her parents and they treat her like this at the end??? Her parents would be nothing if the kids left. They depend on the kids.
The parents need to grow up and stop going to concert's and start to pay bills my husband and I have gotten behind on bills to where they went in collections but we always paid our lot rent and we didn't get behind because of doing what they did we just wasn't making enough money know my husband is and we paid everything off that was in collections it was a lot but we are the parents. The parents need to support themselves and the kids not the kids doing it
That family is straight up disgusting. They're lazy and sadly theyve taught their kids to be the same way. I think the daughter realizes that this life isnt the only way to live and wants more. Sadly, the situation has been so manipulative that she will always be there taking care of her piece of shit father. I swear it's people like him that I hope fucking fall off the face of this earth so I dont have to pay for his welfare. (Not saying he gets it)
@@denyellebascue7598 - They haven't taught the kids to be lazy. The son works 2 jobs while going to college and the daughter works while finishing high school...to support the lazy immature parents. Colleen is actually a kind woman who lives that life because she fell in love with her loser husband 30 years ago. The family is dysfunctional and the son feels responsible for supporting them. He will probably never live away from his parents. The girl, Heather, is the one with a chance at a better life. With Ingrid's help, she can be an au pair in Europe where her horizons will be broadened, and she'll never want to return to that way of life again.
@@bethgriesauer3825 I agree with you to a point. However, there is more to being lazy than just working or not working. I should've clarified the father and not "the family" as a whole. I do think that the son will probably forever be in his parents pocket because they know how to work him. That being said, either way, that father...ugh....disgusts me
@@denyellebascue7598 - Yeah, he's gross. You'd think he'd be happy to get money to fix his teeth! Although $1,000 isn't nearly enough to do the job....more like $15,000.
@@bethgriesauer3825 ok! Yeah why is dental insurance not the same as medical? But when he was cleaning up dog door and throwing in his neighbors yard.....how could you love a man like that? Just no respect for anyone his family and himself included!
The parents are both covert narcissist. The son is the golden child and the daughter is the scapegoat. Emotional maturity of the parents = very very low. They parentified the children ( the children are responsible instead of the parents ) They have ZERO self reflection and feel entitled to their kids money and their lives. They do not care about anything but themself. The girl has the best shot at getting out and living a normal life, but she will have to fight and overcome codependency.
I had thought that when Colleen had the meltdown that she would make changes. She felt like she was a loser so I thought that lit a light in her. Sad that she didn't.
Mr Toothy is "disappointed that so much of the money went to the children's education". Says it all, really. I've been trying really hard not to be judgmental, but that just blew me away. I guess he gets points for honesty. :-/
Yah, Mr Toothy is an utterly useless freeloader. And Colleen slobbering to herself that she and that lump back home "are struggling right now". The "struggle" Colleen is because you don't "feel like working right now". What worthless 'parents' you are. I hope those two kids watched the show and saw with new eyes their mooching worthless parents and left to start their own lives without the parasites.
These are two of the most worthless people I've ever seen and they aren't even parents. They don't deserve that title. When Colleen was wallowing I didn't feel sorry for her I honestly wanted to smack her.
@Dani Ollie How can you not be judgmental? The Woopper parents are off the chart extremely rotten and selfish parents! so very ignorant about all their choices in life...booze, cigarettes, concerts, dog food, tattoos, all come before the rent and their children! If it wasn't for this show these ppl would all be homeless, their teenage mentality behavior makes me wonder if they haven't already been homeless in the past...How do you not have shame in asking your kids for money when both of them are able-bodied ppl, despite the fact that they don't take care of themselves, just another bad choice.
Wow Ingrid surprised me I thought at first she was uptight and controlling but her getting a tattoo just to make sure they will do something for her that will help them shows how caring she is that warmed my heart what a woman
@@janellcrews6108 I wonder how much or her things that seem mean are cultural from Austria? 🤔 Like I have zero idea about their norm. I thought it was very rude too but just wonder if it's a learned cultural behavior? 🤔
you know damn well Heather was talking about money, and others who have the finer life,.She gets love in another way, only the son appreciated that,.Ingrid did nothing but cause mayhem with her snobbish self..
Ace Ingrid looks like a great mother. She has expectations and Colleen’s family was too damn lazy to get shit done that why the breadwinners are their children, one being 24 with 2 jobs while also going to college, the other being Heather, a 17 year old. That’s fucking sad
Barnacle Bailey yep pretty much only reason they got pissed at her was she wanted to move away from them eventually and explore the world without the mooching. They don’t like that cause it’s an income they can t steal.
The ending with the ganging up on Heather was completely undeserved and uncalled for. Hopefully Heather made it out of there and on to somewhere better in life...
I'm sure the fundamental reason for the parents low LOW energy/ambition is pot smoking. Arrested Development. Colleen and Mr Toothy behave at a 12-13 year old level.
-alcohol and a steady diet of carbs will kill the liver and kidneys and heart...add smoking...holy moly. But it is expensive to buy good food-even more expensive if you don’t tho!
I remember watching this when it first came out and I would think: "Man, the Wopperer's have a great life! Concerts! Sleeping all day! THE DREAM!" Years later, little did I know that money management, exercising and learning German is really the way to go. ***I am also fully aware that Heather is treated like garbage and the Dancy's could cool-it-magoo on some things
If I hear Colleen say, "I'm so tired" one more time. Heather does NOT deserve to be treated like that. Her parents are the worst I've seen... it's terribly sad..kids should not be living like this
But she is tired Chronically tired 24/7. She eats crap so has no energy, Her weight being what it is...Imagine walking around all day with 20 -5 lb bags of sugar. She is more than a hundred heavier than her frame at ideal. It’s not easy. Guarantee you she has constant cravings with blood sugar spiking and dropping. And her life is dismal-A good life gives you energy.
@@beastshawnee makes you wonder if she’s still alive. You wouldn’t think she’d have much of a life span. Altho for some reason good people seem to be taken from us too soon and useless parasites doing nothing but stealing oxygen like Colleen and husband seem to hang around forever
@@vintaqe_vibez5978 I think it was a culture/language barrier. Every eastern european I've ever met was blunt to the point of rudeness but this came from a place of love at least.
if people can afford to buy smokes, go to rock concerts, then they ain't that poor. they just need to quit the smoking, stop the rocking, and pay their bills first before anything else.
"Most" being the operative word. Although poor people do need their vices too. Though it may sound logical, the comment of "you're not poor if you can afford..." is purely ignorant
Heather, I love your kind heart. You are doing the right thing by pursuing the future you want for your own life. Don't let anyone, not even family guilt trip you into supporting them when they won't even do it for themselves. You stay on track and love them from afar
When the slob mother acknowledges she stresses her kids out and it’s awful she goes and said “I know should be working , but I just honestly don’t want to right now “. Talk about selfish , useless and bottom of the barrel human being let alone a parent. You can tell she just lays around getting drunk , over medicated and thinks it’s cute to act like that as long as she says “I know I shouldn’t heee heee heee ARENT I cute heeee he I’m a deadbeat heee heee “
I don't want to know what lives in that "mustache" or what it smells like..I would have sent home to the dentist & the job search office..flucking bums
It's just not right to expect money from your kids when the reason you aren't working is because you 'DON'T WANT TO' they do have great kids though! and after watching more... I have to say the mom has a great heart, I think she just might start changing some things.
I really liked Chris…a sensitive young man! All the kids were so kind to her! Well behaved, and sensitive! I also liked Heather a lot…she got the short stick it seems! A great young lady!
@@JudeTavonFenwick Someone who obviously sees the parents are mooching pieces of shit. Both of those lazy fucks should be working, they aren't disabled. Maybe a little slow from years of hard drugs but no reason not to be out there working.
@@Resist_Oppression he was whiny and defensive. He started the whole gang-up on Heather by making it sound like Ingrid "trashed" him just because she "has more," and that Heather was kissing Ingrid's butt and "betraying" the family. None of this is true. Ingrid made him mad because she dared to suggest he get rid of junk and look outside of his town for jobs and he was like "wahhh." He's enjoying being the family favorite and never plans to move out of his room.
Yeah that just shows how immature Chris really is. Because he’s never known anything but his lifestyle he thinks it’s so bad having parents in his business all the time. I was actually a little disgusted by him saying his parents could learn from Colleen. Of course he’s going to like her because what kid is going to like someone who is on the same maturity level and isn’t going to hold him accountable or give rules or make him work for anything? I think they should make Chris go live with Colleen for a month completely on his own no help from parents Then we’d see how much he thinks they can “learn” from Colleen 😂
That is one F'd up family. I thought the brother was decent until the end when he was talking crap a about someone who was trying to help him!! Never once did the new mom say or act like she was better than them. She was quite disturbed by the total lack of responsibility by the parents but any normal person would be!! They can buy booze, cigarettes and concert tickets but are months behind on rent and there is nothing wrong that would prevent either of them from working..except chronic laziness and ignorance!! New mom spoke to both of the kids about moving out on their own because it saddened her that they work for the parents to mooch! The son even said he couldn't move out because the parents needed his help and that a lot of times he couldn't afford things for himself because he had to help them. Yet he's pissed off at her for wanting to help him get out of that?!! The parents are complete and utter losers. The best thing they could do for their kids is disappear and never be seen again. The only one there's hope for is the daughter. They got pissed at her because she said she wants more and wants to get away and was honest about them not supporting her. But then mom goes all dramatic saying she can't believe daughter says they haven't supported her... Ummm hey stupid your very own words at the beginning were you parent by not doing anything for them. So save your stupid outrage. You are just making yourself look that much worse! At least daughter has a backbone! The son is too much of a wuss to stand up to mom and dad. Just sad.
I think maybe he got mad/defensive because he knows it's true as well, but he's torn because it's his own family. I've been in a similar situation. It's so hard to realize that it's your own family you have to separate from in order to survive or be successful in any way. It's hard to be emotionally strong enough to sever those ties, especially if there are good memories as well.
Yeah, he said it made him feel bad about himself. It's hard to have self esteem when you live like that. He's just defensive, which most people are when they are criticized, regardless of how constructive the criticism is.
@@Catlady-mw4en Right. I think he was defensive because it's already a high-stress situation as it is, and it's easier to continue escaping the problem than to face it/ work through all those emotions and tough decisions. I think he was defensive simply because he'd rather not think about it, even though its damaging to his own self to repeat the cycle.
I think that this family did Ingrid an injustice. I truly don't believe that she was trying to put the oldest son down. I think that she saw how he was shouldering all of the responsibility in the family and was trying to tell him to break away and get out of it. Somehow he missed the message she was trying to give to him. I was hoping that the mom would change, even just a little, but I guess not. There is still hope for the daughter. Ingrid has a wonderful family, the only thing that I think that they could take away from this is to let up just a little on the kids and let them start to make some of their own decisions. I also hope that they learn to have a little fun! Life is too short.
At what point does the school system recognize these parents are a shit show? Every child deserves a home free of smoking and food addiction. These people are ill. And they produce ill children. And capitalism will use them with big tobacco and food until they stain the health care system with chronic illnesses due to their shit choices
@@melemetcalf1681, then you must have money and don't know what it's like to have someone threatening to cut your power off, etc. Everyone goes through tough times. But those parent's on this show are just fucking lazy!
I love re-living my childhood through these ads. I haven't had cable TV in about 5 or so years and it was a blast from the past to see the "free credit report" ad and hear the song lol
The “strict mom” really had good point’s on this one tbh. Usually they’re out of control strict. The “cool mom” and father are a poor example of even decent parenting.
omg that part where she offered her dad the 30 dollar pay check and then he asked if she has more money and she said yeah a little but i was hoping to save it, and the dad said ''yeah but i need money honey''
I know and the way he was dry begging and hanging all over her and saying ,"i love u" in front of Ingrid and the camera crews (+ America ) like he thought he looked cool or something, was disgusting. If i didnt know better ,id say he has a drug problem.. Of course ,i guess he could be an alcoholic. My god , how much does he drink ? Shit is too cheap to lose everything u got when u have 4 able body adults in a house.
and notice how the dad is overly affectionate towards her when the money comes in. hes a typical golddigger - really manipulative. doesn't show any love towards his kids until he needs something. then he sucks up to them first in order to get some cash out of them. God those are the worst type. I honestly hope he and his slob of a wife become so poor that they have to sleep on the street and beg for their next meal.
I love that idea! I love where are they now in general as an idea and they are constantly doing reboots of old shows and classics so that is an awesome idea that could actually take off. Smart! I’m impatiently awaiting those episodes now 👀😍☺️🤳⏰
looked on FB, Terry anyway, looks like he is religious now.. has one boy, and another on the way. mom celebrated 60th not sure on that relationship but dad was in picture. couldn't find Heather.
I grew up with a parent like colleen that depended on me for a lot financially and emotionally, as miserable as it was. It did make me stronger and make me the successful person I am. I wanted to make sure I never needed to depend on anyone
Wait, money for a concert, tattoos and a piercing but the rent, which already is in arrears, has to wait? Neither parent in the Colleen household works, all money comes from the children's jobs. Utterly shameful.
Didn't u hear his tattoo is more than his electric bill. So u can see this guy dnt give a shit. It's shameful. I rather have ah roof over my head. But these people dnt care
Anita Grace she was better with the 2nd family so much patience and acceptance but her daughter past in car accident ps the first family stayed friends with her both pages
My mom has been telling me this since I was little... She believes that women should have their own and that they shouldn't settle for a man who doesn't have their own as well. And boy was she right... I hope they're doing better though.
@ Very Admirable! You also should make them understand the importance of controlling their sexuality! Woman get into trouble by giving into their urges! It might be hard to discuss as their father but it is very wise. Ya know what i mean?
The Whopperer "parents" are the perfect example of why just anyone shouldn't be able to have kids. Especially after Colleens RIDICULOUS reasoning that she's a better parent because she does nothing for her kids so they have to be independent. I hope to Heaven she doesn't really think she's a good parent! Really hoping she saw how stupid and lazy she looked after this aired and made some changes.
Omg I feel so sorry for that girl being spoken to like that and hanged up on by her family. Awful. She should defiantly go abroad and explore new cultures and earn good money meet new people and travel the world not stuck living like three
kassie rudolph it could be very dangerous for her to leave the country, lots of these so called jobs end up in human trafficking. She should work part time and get training, like become a cosmotologist or nurse, then get a job in that field and move out
Wow my jaw dropped at how they went off on Heather. Collen still does not get how her and her husband are slowing down their kids even as her son literally said, " I cannot do anything else bc I have to help you".
The look of disappointment on Heather and her dad's faces when Ingrid just picked apart their gift made me so mad, she needed to just be humble accept their gift and if something wasn't going to fit in her bag then take it with you and then do whatever when you leave don't just throw it away in front of them, be grateful, say thank you and be glad they thought enough of you to give you a gift.
lazy dad rick is so gross. "i'm upset she put so much money towards the kids' education. it should've gone to mom and dad because we work more." wtf? the parents are literally the only ones who -don't- work
@Mj light right. That wouldn't make sense. Im sure they would have filmed the issue if she was given money and then told the kid she didn't have money. That would be a story line.
I would feel differently about the "poor" family if there was a reason for it. Like if the dad was disabled and unable to work, because that can happen. However, lack of motivation is not a disability. HOWEVER, I do think they need professional help. They are suffering from depression, and that CAN be crippling, but it is fixable, if you want it to be. There are people and places out there that could help them IF they WANT to change.
Colleens face changed and looked healtheir after spending a few days in the fresh air, moving a little bit and eating better. well oxygeneted. i guess clean place for an asthmatic also made the difference
I don't think she wanted to leave...she needed another 3 weeks! They didn't judge her much....they are such good ppl...they just wanted to help her!!! ❤️
Having watched the whole episode I agree with what a lot of people are saying. But I think the larger lazy mom actually liked the other family and she thought the other mom was great until the son said oh the new mom was putting me down and acting like she was better then me. Then her momma bear instincts came out and that’s why she didn’t like the other mom because her son lied to her and told her the new mom put him down which was not true and I think the dad is just not with it at all he must be drugged up all the time
Her momma bear instinct? That’s laughable. Is that before or after they mooched all their kids money? Or wait was that before she yelled at her daughter and threatened to kick her out for being on board w Ingrid about having a better future. “Larger” loser “mom” a term i use loosely when it comes to her and the creepy husband ate both complete and utter losers. I can’t stomach people who treat their children so badly. Her only “momma bear” instinct was protecting her son and it wasn’t protecting HIM it was protecting the money he brings in.
@@princessrockman9528 I’m late to the party, but I agree completely. I struggle to understand parents that feign concern about their ‘precious’ child in front of others, yet behind closed doors, they can’t even be arsed to read with them (disabling them educationally, effectively) nor cook a meal from scratch (making the child susceptible to chronic illnesses later on) a few times a week. Sigh ....
Colleen came across as *really* unintelligent and also thoroughly entitled: My son tells me to get a job but...yeah, that's something I just don't want to do right now. Of course not because she just keeps taking the money her kids earn. She seems pleasant and happy and yet she's using her kids shamelessly and telling herself the lie that she's actually a *good* mother by forcing her kids to be responsible with her own laziness and abuse of them.
The kids were almost grown. When the lazy mom went shopping with the new son, and didn’t even have money to pay the grocery bill.She didn’t even seem embarrassed. The lazy dad begging his daughter for her $30 paycheck wow 😳
I actually felt anger watching the Metal family turn on the sister like a pack of hyenas for being hospitable and calling the parents out for their bullshit
This guy is a real piece of work. Spending his kid's money and getting tats instead of paying bills. NO ONE wants to pay bills but it's a part of life! HE makes me SICK, though! I would NEVER treat my kids this way!
Can tell dudes a straight up burn out. Done so many drugs his mind doesn't function properly. Never grew up. If you're gonna be a druggie, at least be a functioning junkie
Colleen’s handling in the money at the end was shameful. She learnt nothing from that awesome family. She gave everything to one child over the other two. Bad parent even in someone else’s family
To be fair, that family wasn't exactly lacking money. I do think I would have split the money more evenly too. But their children will not be missing anything. Wife swap or not, they would still get a good education, and live an affluent life. And she put some of it towards a cruise trip; she prioritised them spending time together as a family. I don't think it is all bad.
@@HereIAm247 I know what you mean. Of course she wasn’t trying to help them financially, and they didn’t need her help. Still when it comes to kids, to me it’s with equal or nothing. I mean did you see the look on the other kids’ faces? They took it really hard.
i cannot believe how much they rely on their kids for money, that is disgusting, then to flat out say ''i dont work because i dont want to work''. i hope to god those kids dont give their parents any of their share of the 50,000
Heather is such a sweet heart! I’m very disappointed with the family after they turned on their daughter when she spoke honestly in support of Ingrid. No I think Ingrid wasn’t wise in her approach with the son but for this Mom to rip Heathers ass for being nice, shameful! Very very shameful! She did better at her new families home and out in more effort than when returning home 🤦🏻♀️
I looked up the oldest of the dancy family. he went to Dartmouth and was on the Olympic downhill ski team. The slob mom is probably downsized to a trailer and has even less teeth.
The Dancy family has my utmost respect! The mother is such a caring person who genuinely wants to make their lives better as well as her husband who gave his new wife financial advice. That family is as close to my ideal picture of perfection as i’ve ever seen.
Nah the father’s judgmental comments about Colleen going to gigs and drinking wound me up. He was like “Why should I take any advice from HER?” Well, smartarse, because wisdom comes in many forms and different people have a lot to offer; don’t reduce them down to meaningless because of how they have fun. Colleen was right about the oldest son and was the only one to make the poor kid smile.
@@clothilde1623she wasn't judge by "how she has fun" but by how she lived her whole life. Bumming off her kids, and wasting what she has in herself. She has no wisdom
Wow poor heather. Her brother Terry said the same thing pretty much "I don't have enough money for things I want because I'm helping you guys." Then they attack Heather for saying they don't support her? Heather should have said "Terry JUST said it too!" They go off like a little pack with their beers, leaving her. Heather SHOULD pack her bags and leave. I really hope she .made a life for herself. You do see faults on both sides though-- Ingrid was a little harsh, especially with the gift they took the time to make her.
Stupid pack mentality. Colleen and husband decided to turn on Ingrid because they knew that they couldn't afford to leave the son upset for a minute. He was their only source of money if daughter flew off.
I am the Black Sheep in my family. And I remember going through things like a gang up on me by my family, like what sweet Heather goes through. It's wrong and abusive. I hope Heather got away from her family long enough to see her own potential and confidence to do what she wants to do.
Just the first few minutes.... "It's not like I don't love my children BUT the dog doesn't argue back..... I wish the dog could talk." Yeah, but then you'd love him less lol Also I love Ingrid in this. I know from the interviews, he might have gone a little hard on her own son, but how she acts with that family... I think from all these "rich family meets poor" family episodes, she's the most well-meaning and even somewhat hands on of the "rich moms".
She said she feels like a loser... yea I would feel like a loser too. You depend on your kids for money & you COULD go get a job and pay bills but you DONT. So so sad I feel horrible for those kids. That must be so stressful for them...
I love the blonde mom accent. ..calm and collected. ..so organise.coleen and husband need counseling to get their act together. Unless they change,their situation would remain the same..lack of wisdom and heather should stay in touch with the blonde mom and she will succeed.
I think Ingrid had good intentions when talking to Terry. I actually don't think she came off rude or condescending in that conversation at all, she was just offering him advice that his parents would not be able to give him.
I sure hope daughter was sent abroad as a nanny. Some people end up living decent happy lives. Ingrid wouldn't be one to mislead or send her to unreliable places. I would work there and send money at odd times, not when they ask. I'd marry an Austrian boy and chill. The daughter looks decent and well mannered. That mother eats too much she cant move around, wastes money on crap, then gets uptight about daughter? She said she realised how pathetic and how wrong she conducted her life before she went back home. "I'll pack your bags!" Wow.
Oh good lord, Mr. Whopperer... I don't think I've ever experienced with my own eyes an adult in such arrested development. It seems like his wife is a very kind, but maybe a little bit of a lost individual... But she seemed to grow a bit at the end of this episode. Aside from her giving her daughter grief for "betraying" her simply for being nice to the other mother and laying a ridiculous guilt trip on her when she has clearly provided a lousy example of mothering in life. But him? And those kids everyone was so grateful for how she gifted them with money to further their education, and the father is bitching because he didn't get more. Like he said, he wanted beer money. And not one word of being grateful that she offered to fix his teeth. What a sad example. I hope their young-adult children grew successful in spite of him. That young man should not feel like he has to carry his parents who are both completely capable of earning a living.
I thought she was super judgey. The first thing she said when they pulled up was “they live in a cracker box house”. She said she hated dogs, all animals and pets, and worst of all the way she acted about the flower pot.
Ingirds husband said "did you miss us? I guess not" and when she first got home she just started unloading her stuff! I would have ran up to my family right when I got there!
Ingred seemed cold in the first 5 min of the show and her son called Colleen a couch potato as soon as she came in wow unbelievable maybe he’s right but that was rude
he said that while she was enthusiastically hugging her kids so im pretty sure it was sarcastic. also as someone else said it was a taxi so she had to hurry up and unload her stuff rather than wait around
I haven't reached the ending yet but I loved the part when ingred got her tattoo and had a good time at the concert! That was cool she let her hair down and just had some fun!
I wonder how they found these families? The huge lifestyle differences they have in each episode they aired always made me think that they must have sent out people all over the world to look for them, lol, or did they mail out something and how you responded to the questions and your opinion is how you were chosen. I can't be the only person who has wondered this... not that it matters it still cracks me up watching it and I would like to know where they are now.
I'm guessing they had on some website about a future show, each family sends photos and a bit about themselves , pictures of their homes. Then from there mix the opposite lifestyles for each episode.

Terry is such a momma's baby. I can"t believe he can't see how much his parents are using him. His parents are clearly short of a few brain cells. Ingrid was absolutely right to divide the money between the kids.
Its not true, he care for his family(love its the answer).
Damn I shouldn't have read the comments while watching the show.
Johny Bravo there’s a fine line between caring for your family and enabling their bad decisions. It is not the child’s responsibility to help his parents. They should have been better role models so that he can do better for himself and then care for them when they are too old to provide for themselves. That is the natural order.
Johnny Bravo, I get what you are saying, but gifts of love should not be an obligation. As the other responder stated, there is a fine line, and families tend to have a bad habit of blurring the line between family love, family loyalty, and abuse of that love and loyalty. Unemployed parents who lay on the couch all day and don't contribute to the well being of their family do not deserve the undying love of a child, and have no right to expect or demand it.
@@GlitterPoolParty Are vice versa cases too,i know its bad but its that kind of problem who need psychologist.My dad its in same situation, and if i proper him up, its because i cant let become another homeless lost cause.
It was honestly terrifying to know that those two people at one point were raising small children. They got extremely lucky that the two kids turned out pretty dang good. But the thought of them taking care of small children and even babies at one point made me literally ill. That man especially is a horrendous person. He was drinking before he picked that woman up. Then saying he didn't give a shit about bills? How is he even alive still?
Some people are like cockroaches... they survive everything, and always show up when you don’t want em (ie when they think they can get something from you! Free food, $$, a favor, you name it.)
@@inlonging That is soooo true!
One update says not alive
Reality TV takes people and asks them to live far more extreme than they actually do. They pay people to play up the drama. They may not live glamorously but they don’t live the way that is portrayed on the show.
And they are both still alive lol
I don't understand why at least the father doesn't work.
I would feel strange asking my kids to support me when I'm 100% able to do things
Especially when all I do is sleep, eat, booze and smoke. The way was all over the daughter when she had less that $10 was worldclass baaaad! Oh God!
This episode disturb me so bad! I really don’t think the lazy mom and dad knows how bad they were. I hope one day they read all these comments, and change.
But didn’t you hear her say she’s doing it to be a good mom? by not working shes teaching her kids to take care of themselves.
I really had no idea someone could be THAT delusional and not be embarrassed by…well…EVERYTHING SHE SAYS AND DOES
Well I am 21 and my parents still provide because I can’t find a job but I do feel ashamed of myself
I would feel ashamed, but that will never happen because,I love my kids too much to do that to them.
She DID realize how much the boy helps the Woppers, that’s why she wants him to move out and make a life of his own and his parents can/should help themselves more!
Poor Heather, I’m glad she stood up to her family!
Yea, she didn't think that Terry was useless, she thought he was doing too much and he'd never get anywhere with his parents leeching off of him.
Heather deserves so much more. She gives her whole paycheck to her parents and they treat her like this at the end??? Her parents would be nothing if the kids left. They depend on the kids.
The parents need to grow up and stop going to concert's and start to pay bills my husband and I have gotten behind on bills to where they went in collections but we always paid our lot rent and we didn't get behind because of doing what they did we just wasn't making enough money know my husband is and we paid everything off that was in collections it was a lot but we are the parents. The parents need to support themselves and the kids not the kids doing it
Hope that girl got the hell out of there
Huh
Disgusting
It’s so ironic that the kids who have the worst parents often turn out great. Heather is beautiful and a real sweetie too.
How the hell did those two disasters spawn an angel like Heather? My God I hope she's doing well.
I feel so bad for Heather growing up with such a non supportive, lazy, and manipulative family.😢
That family is straight up disgusting. They're lazy and sadly theyve taught their kids to be the same way. I think the daughter realizes that this life isnt the only way to live and wants more. Sadly, the situation has been so manipulative that she will always be there taking care of her piece of shit father. I swear it's people like him that I hope fucking fall off the face of this earth so I dont have to pay for his welfare. (Not saying he gets it)
@@denyellebascue7598 - They haven't taught the kids to be lazy. The son works 2 jobs while going to college and the daughter works while finishing high school...to support the lazy immature parents. Colleen is actually a kind woman who lives that life because she fell in love with her loser husband 30 years ago. The family is dysfunctional and the son feels responsible for supporting them. He will probably never live away from his parents. The girl, Heather, is the one with a chance at a better life. With Ingrid's help, she can be an au pair in Europe where her horizons will be broadened, and she'll never want to return to that way of life again.
@@bethgriesauer3825 I agree with you to a point. However, there is more to being lazy than just working or not working. I should've clarified the father and not "the family" as a whole. I do think that the son will probably forever be in his parents pocket because they know how to work him. That being said, either way, that father...ugh....disgusts me

The parents are both covert narcissist. The son is the golden child and the daughter is the scapegoat.
Emotional maturity of the parents = very very low.
They parentified the children ( the children are responsible instead of the parents )
They have ZERO self reflection and feel entitled to their kids money and their lives.
They do not care about anything but themself.
The girl has the best shot at getting out and living a normal life, but she will have to fight and overcome codependency.
You nailed it!
I feel sorry for both of those kids. That's exactly what's happening.
gosh spot on...
I had thought that when Colleen had the meltdown that she would make changes. She felt like she was a loser so I thought that lit a light in her. Sad that she didn't.
spot on!
Mr Toothy is "disappointed that so much of the money went to the children's education". Says it all, really. I've been trying really hard not to be judgmental, but that just blew me away. I guess he gets points for honesty. :-/
Yah, Mr Toothy is an utterly useless freeloader.
And Colleen slobbering to herself that she and that lump back home "are struggling right now". The "struggle" Colleen is because you don't "feel like working right now".
What worthless 'parents' you are.
I hope those two kids watched the show and saw with new eyes their mooching worthless parents and left to start their own lives without the parasites.
😂😂😂😂🤭🤷🏻♀️
Exactly, and what's worse, he said that he deserves more of the money because he does more work! LMAO
These are two of the most worthless people I've ever seen and they aren't even parents. They don't deserve that title. When Colleen was wallowing I didn't feel sorry for her I honestly wanted to smack her.
@Dani Ollie How can you not be judgmental? The Woopper parents are off the chart extremely rotten and selfish parents! so very ignorant about all their choices in life...booze, cigarettes, concerts, dog food, tattoos, all come before the rent and their children! If it wasn't for this show these ppl would all be homeless, their teenage mentality behavior makes me wonder if they haven't already been homeless in the past...How do you not have shame in asking your kids for money when both of them are able-bodied ppl, despite the fact that they don't take care of themselves, just another bad choice.
Wow Ingrid surprised me I thought at first she was uptight and controlling but her getting a tattoo just to make sure they will do something for her that will help them shows how caring she is that warmed my heart what a woman
I didn't like how she gave back the gift though it kinda broke my heart. You don't get a gift from someone and give it back.
@@janellcrews6108 I wonder how much or her things that seem mean are cultural from Austria? 🤔 Like I have zero idea about their norm. I thought it was very rude too but just wonder if it's a learned cultural behavior? 🤔
I feel Terrible for Heather. I was appalled how her family treated her. Hopefully she moved out and lives on her own with a happier life.
you know damn well Heather was talking about money, and others who have the finer life,.She gets love in another way, only the son appreciated that,.Ingrid did nothing but cause mayhem with her snobbish self..
Ace Ingrid looks like a great mother. She has expectations and Colleen’s family was too damn lazy to get shit done that why the breadwinners are their children, one being 24 with 2 jobs while also going to college, the other being Heather, a 17 year old. That’s fucking sad
@@Ace-ke7fq No she was talking about wanting a better role model, and wanting her mom to support her goals (the nanny job idea).
Barnacle Bailey yep pretty much only reason they got pissed at her was she wanted to move away from them eventually and explore the world without the mooching. They don’t like that cause it’s an income they can t steal.
Ace not true
Heather is on point. She's the only one who's gonna make it out. Her parents are totally manipulative in an attempt to feel better about themselves.
There addict s
Her parents are lazy and I hope she got away from her parents and told them to support themselves
The ending with the ganging up on Heather was completely undeserved and uncalled for. Hopefully Heather made it out of there and on to somewhere better in life...

Boys and girls , this is why you don’t do drugs .
I'm sure the fundamental reason for the parents low LOW energy/ambition is pot smoking.

Colleen and Mr Toothy behave at a 12-13 year old level.
Amen, amen, amen!!!!!
-alcohol and a steady diet of carbs will kill the liver and kidneys and heart...add smoking...holy moly. But it is expensive to buy good food-even more expensive if you don’t tho!

***I am also fully aware that Heather is treated like garbage and the Dancy's could cool-it-magoo on some things
Perfect explanation hahaha
If I hear Colleen say, "I'm so tired" one more time.
Heather does NOT deserve to be treated like that. Her parents are the worst I've seen... it's terribly sad..kids should not be living like this

I think Ingrid was great in the tattoo parlor. She's got a genuine spirit. I loved this whole episode.
Ingrid wanted Terry to be successful. She knew staying at home would result in failure and co dependence.

if people can afford to buy smokes, go to rock concerts, then they ain't that poor. they just need to quit the smoking, stop the rocking, and pay their bills first before anything else.
Most poor people are poor because they make poor decisions..smoke drink eat food that makes them lazy and tired.

BAD CHOICES
Heather, I love your kind heart. You are doing the right thing by pursuing the future you want for your own life. Don't let anyone, not even family guilt trip you into supporting them when they won't even do it for themselves. You stay on track and love them from afar
Amen!!
For real
Taking money from your children is shameful.
Jamie the Female Glover especially when they’re kids. It’ll be different if the parents were old and couldn’t work.
It’s not too bad if the parents were working, but they’re not even trying
She is Just LAZY ...not working. And even TALKS SLOW. USELESS
When the slob mother acknowledges she stresses her kids out and it’s awful she goes and said “I know should be working , but I just honestly don’t want to right now “. Talk about selfish , useless and bottom of the barrel human being let alone a parent. You can tell she just lays around getting drunk , over medicated and thinks it’s cute to act like that as long as she says “I know I shouldn’t heee heee heee ARENT I cute heeee he I’m a deadbeat heee heee “

It's just not right to expect money from your kids when the reason you aren't working is because you 'DON'T WANT TO' they do have great kids though!
and after watching more... I have to say the mom has a great heart, I think she just might start changing some things.
I really liked Chris…a sensitive young man! All the kids were so kind to her! Well behaved, and sensitive! I also liked Heather a lot…she got the short stick it seems! A great young lady!

@@Resist_Oppression he was whiny and defensive. He started the whole gang-up on Heather by making it sound like Ingrid "trashed" him just because she "has more," and that Heather was kissing Ingrid's butt and "betraying" the family.

@@k.nicole9452 They don't show everything. A lot of stuff is edited.

Yeah that just shows how immature Chris really is. Because he’s never known anything but his lifestyle he thinks it’s so bad having parents in his business all the time. I was actually a little disgusted by him saying his parents could learn from Colleen. Of course he’s going to like her because what kid is going to like someone who is on the same maturity level and isn’t going to hold him accountable or give rules or make him work for anything?
I think they should make Chris go live with Colleen for a month completely on his own no help from parents
Then we’d see how much he thinks they can “learn” from Colleen 😂
Funny how that kid automatically guessed that she’s a couch potato 😂😂 that’s Fukin hilarious! Just perfect 👌🏼
She wasn't putting him down, she was trying to give advice. They are so lame at the end. Poor heather!
whats the tattoo
Yes he needs to get the hell out of there and I hope she goes over seas so bad!
That is one F'd up family. I thought the brother was decent until the end when he was talking crap a about someone who was trying to help him!! Never once did the new mom say or act like she was better than them. She was quite disturbed by the total lack of responsibility by the parents but any normal person would be!! They can buy booze, cigarettes and concert tickets but are months behind on rent and there is nothing wrong that would prevent either of them from working..except chronic laziness and ignorance!! New mom spoke to both of the kids about moving out on their own because it saddened her that they work for the parents to mooch! The son even said he couldn't move out because the parents needed his help and that a lot of times he couldn't afford things for himself because he had to help them. Yet he's pissed off at her for wanting to help him get out of that?!! The parents are complete and utter losers. The best thing they could do for their kids is disappear and never be seen again. The only one there's hope for is the daughter. They got pissed at her because she said she wants more and wants to get away and was honest about them not supporting her. But then mom goes all dramatic saying she can't believe daughter says they haven't supported her... Ummm hey stupid your very own words at the beginning were you parent by not doing anything for them. So save your stupid outrage. You are just making yourself look that much worse! At least daughter has a backbone! The son is too much of a wuss to stand up to mom and dad. Just sad.
I think maybe he got mad/defensive because he knows it's true as well, but he's torn because it's his own family. I've been in a similar situation. It's so hard to realize that it's your own family you have to separate from in order to survive or be successful in any way. It's hard to be emotionally strong enough to sever those ties, especially if there are good memories as well.
Yeah, he said it made him feel bad about himself. It's hard to have self esteem when you live like that. He's just defensive, which most people are when they are criticized, regardless of how constructive the criticism is.
@@Catlady-mw4en Right. I think he was defensive because it's already a high-stress situation as it is, and it's easier to continue escaping the problem than to face it/ work through all those emotions and tough decisions. I think he was defensive simply because he'd rather not think about it, even though its damaging to his own self to repeat the cycle.
I think that this family did Ingrid an injustice. I truly don't believe that she was trying to put the oldest son down. I think that she saw how he was shouldering all of the responsibility in the family and was trying to tell him to break away and get out of it. Somehow he missed the message she was trying to give to him. I was hoping that the mom would change, even just a little, but I guess not. There is still hope for the daughter. Ingrid has a wonderful family, the only thing that I think that they could take away from this is to let up just a little on the kids and let them start to make some of their own decisions. I also hope that they learn to have a little fun! Life is too short.
At what point does the school system recognize these parents are a shit show? Every child deserves a home free of smoking and food addiction. These people are ill. And they produce ill children. And capitalism will use them with big tobacco and food until they stain the health care system with chronic illnesses due to their shit choices
It irritates me that she said “me and rick are struggling right now”, no you don’t have jobs by choice, there’s a difference.

The “strict mom” really had good point’s on this one tbh. Usually they’re out of control strict. The “cool mom” and father are a poor example of even decent parenting.

I say , NOPE get back jack!
She should have said then get a job Dad
I know and the way he was dry begging and hanging all over her and saying ,"i love u" in front of Ingrid and the camera crews (+ America ) like he thought he looked cool or something, was disgusting. If i didnt know better ,id say he has a drug problem.. Of course ,i guess he could be an alcoholic. My god , how much does he drink ? Shit is too cheap to lose everything u got when u have 4 able body adults in a house.
and notice how the dad is overly affectionate towards her when the money comes in. hes a typical golddigger - really manipulative. doesn't show any love towards his kids until he needs something. then he sucks up to them first in order to get some cash out of them. God those are the worst type. I honestly hope he and his slob of a wife become so poor that they have to sleep on the street and beg for their next meal.

I would feel differently about the "poor" family if there was a reason for it. Like if the dad was disabled and unable to work, because that can happen. However, lack of motivation is not a disability. HOWEVER, I do think they need professional help. They are suffering from depression, and that CAN be crippling, but it is fixable, if you want it to be. There are people and places out there that could help them IF they WANT to change.

Colleens face changed and looked healtheir after spending a few days in the fresh air, moving a little bit and eating better. well oxygeneted. i guess clean place for an asthmatic also made the difference
yeah she really did
I don't think she wanted to leave...she needed another 3 weeks! They didn't judge her much....they are such good ppl...they just wanted to help her!!! ❤️
It's because she didn't drink for a whole week. At home, she'd be boozing it up and taking shots
Aweh “ one of my biggest concerns was making the kids cry with the way I look “ hurt my heart
Yes.... that was sad.
No sympathy from me.
She feels shame because she's a do-nothing slob who literally lives off her children.
Well she shouldve taken care of herself then she woudnt have to worry
I don’t get that. Like, okay, that hair color is a bit much, and the hairstyle is (now) dated… but she’s not ugly or freaky looking?
@@MiriamTheGreather teeth are kinda scary looking but there's always worse.
No one mentioned the pressure that Chris was under!?! So loved the kids and the young adults.
Right?! I was under pressure like that as a kid, to be perfect all the time, it eventually broke me.
Yes, it's really intense
Having watched the whole episode I agree with what a lot of people are saying. But I think the larger lazy mom actually liked the other family and she thought the other mom was great until the son said oh the new mom was putting me down and acting like she was better then me. Then her momma bear instincts came out and that’s why she didn’t like the other mom because her son lied to her and told her the new mom put him down which was not true and I think the dad is just not with it at all he must be drugged up all the time
I'm glad they used subtitles for him. Talks like a mush mouth.
Not that anything he said was of any consequence. Gross guy.
His brain is fried from all that drug use
Her momma bear instinct? That’s laughable. Is that before or after they mooched all their kids money? Or wait was that before she yelled at her daughter and threatened to kick her out for being on board w Ingrid about having a better future.
“Larger” loser “mom” a term i use loosely when it comes to her and the creepy husband ate both complete and utter losers. I can’t stomach people who treat their children so badly.
Her only “momma bear” instinct was protecting her son and it wasn’t protecting HIM it was protecting the money he brings in.
@@princessrockman9528 I’m late to the party, but I agree completely. I struggle to understand parents that feign concern about their ‘precious’ child in front of others, yet behind closed doors, they can’t even be arsed to read with them (disabling them educationally, effectively) nor cook a meal from scratch (making the child susceptible to chronic illnesses later on) a few times a week. Sigh ....
Colleen came across as *really* unintelligent and also thoroughly entitled: My son tells me to get a job but...yeah, that's something I just don't want to do right now. Of course not because she just keeps taking the money her kids earn. She seems pleasant and happy and yet she's using her kids shamelessly and telling herself the lie that she's actually a *good* mother by forcing her kids to be responsible with her own laziness and abuse of them.
Colleen's a sweetheart
I think she's got a learning disabilities
I'm suprised CPS was never involved 😑
CPS let’s kids stay in Slab City as long as they have shelter, go to school and not being neglected or hurt they let them stay.
The kids were almost grown. When the lazy mom went shopping with the new son, and didn’t even have money to pay the grocery bill.She didn’t even seem embarrassed. The lazy dad begging his daughter for her $30 paycheck wow 😳
😂😂😂
I actually felt anger watching the Metal family turn on the sister like a pack of hyenas for being hospitable and calling the parents out for their bullshit
This guy is a real piece of work. Spending his kid's money and getting tats instead of paying bills. NO ONE wants to pay bills but it's a part of life! HE makes me SICK, though! I would NEVER treat my kids this way!
Can tell dudes a straight up burn out. Done so many drugs his mind doesn't function properly. Never grew up. If you're gonna be a druggie, at least be a functioning junkie
I hope Heather rises above them even further.
Colleen’s handling in the money at the end was shameful. She learnt nothing from that awesome family. She gave everything to one child over the other two. Bad parent even in someone else’s family
To be fair, that family wasn't exactly lacking money. I do think I would have split the money more evenly too. But their children will not be missing anything. Wife swap or not, they would still get a good education, and live an affluent life. And she put some of it towards a cruise trip; she prioritised them spending time together as a family. I don't think it is all bad.
@@HereIAm247 I know what you mean. Of course she wasn’t trying to help them financially, and they didn’t need her help.
Still when it comes to kids, to me it’s with equal or nothing. I mean did you see the look on the other kids’ faces? They took it really hard.
i cannot believe how much they rely on their kids for money, that is disgusting, then to flat out say ''i dont work because i dont want to work''. i hope to god those kids dont give their parents any of their share of the 50,000
Heather is such a sweet heart! I’m very disappointed with the family after they turned on their daughter when she spoke honestly in support of Ingrid. No I think Ingrid wasn’t wise in her approach with the son but for this Mom to rip Heathers ass for being nice, shameful! Very very shameful! She did better at her new families home and out in more effort than when returning home 🤦🏻♀️
This series I might need an episode to be like what happened to the family
I’m guessing the parents are or will be homeless
I looked up the oldest of the dancy family. he went to Dartmouth and was on the Olympic downhill ski team. The slob mom is probably downsized to a trailer and has even less teeth.
@@naturalselectioninterventi4805 I've been trying to look them up. Where did you find the information
I’m guessing she Googled his name...
I know what happened
The Dancy family has my utmost respect! The mother is such a caring person who genuinely wants to make their lives better as well as her husband who gave his new wife financial advice. That family is as close to my ideal picture of perfection as i’ve ever seen.
Nah the father’s judgmental comments about Colleen going to gigs and drinking wound me up. He was like “Why should I take any advice from HER?” Well, smartarse, because wisdom comes in many forms and different people have a lot to offer; don’t reduce them down to meaningless because of how they have fun. Colleen was right about the oldest son and was the only one to make the poor kid smile.
@@clothilde1623she wasn't judge by "how she has fun" but by how she lived her whole life. Bumming off her kids, and wasting what she has in herself. She has no wisdom
Wow poor heather. Her brother Terry said the same thing pretty much "I don't have enough money for things I want because I'm helping you guys." Then they attack Heather for saying they don't support her? Heather should have said "Terry JUST said it too!" They go off like a little pack with their beers, leaving her. Heather SHOULD pack her bags and leave. I really hope she .made a life for herself. You do see faults on both sides though-- Ingrid was a little harsh, especially with the gift they took the time to make her.
Stupid pack mentality. Colleen and husband decided to turn on Ingrid because they knew that they couldn't afford to leave the son upset for a minute. He was their only source of money if daughter flew off.
I am the Black Sheep in my family. And I remember going through things like a gang up on me by my family, like what sweet Heather goes through. It's wrong and abusive. I hope Heather got away from her family long enough to see her own potential and confidence to do what she wants to do.

At first i thought why is the "lazy mom" doing this show, she had to have known all the hate she would expose herself to, but then.. aha the money!!
🤑🤑🤑
The lazy parents are clearly alcoholics. That’s a huge part if not the most important thing influencing their brokedown lifestyle.
I need that cookie jar thing. I wonder if he’s thought about writing a book? Like, it sounds so hopeful and practical.
Kathy Myers everyone who takes a business course gets this advice n its very helpful
I had to watch that 2X! The envelopes are great also!❤️
It’s the old envelope banking.
You have to put money,in the cookie jars,though.Those two lazy lumps wouldn’t put a penny in.
Just the first few minutes.... "It's not like I don't love my children BUT the dog doesn't argue back..... I wish the dog could talk." Yeah, but then you'd love him less lol
Also I love Ingrid in this. I know from the interviews, he might have gone a little hard on her own son, but how she acts with that family... I think from all these "rich family meets poor" family episodes, she's the most well-meaning and even somewhat hands on of the "rich moms".
She said she feels like a loser... yea I would feel like a loser too. You depend on your kids for money & you COULD go get a job and pay bills but you DONT. So so sad I feel horrible for those kids. That must be so stressful for them...
When she said "I feel like a loser" I yelled "GOOD" she should because her and her disgusting husband are exactly that, losers.
That mustache started the Covid
Lol that's funny 😂😆😆
Damn it i wish i didnt laugh at that
🤣🤣🤣
I love the blonde mom accent. ..calm and collected. ..so organise.coleen and husband need counseling to get their act together. Unless they change,their situation would remain the same..lack of wisdom and heather should stay in touch with the blonde mom and she will succeed.
I think Ingrid had good intentions when talking to Terry. I actually don't think she came off rude or condescending in that conversation at all, she was just offering him advice that his parents would not be able to give him.
How can she talk to her child like that? Poor Heather! I feel so bad for her. She needs to move out of that house as soon as she can
I sure hope daughter was sent abroad as a nanny. Some people end up living decent happy lives. Ingrid wouldn't be one to mislead or send her to unreliable places. I would work there and send money at odd times, not when they ask. I'd marry an Austrian boy and chill. The daughter looks decent and well mannered. That mother eats too much she cant move around, wastes money on crap, then gets uptight about daughter? She said she realised how pathetic and how wrong she conducted her life before she went back home. "I'll pack your bags!" Wow.
Oh good lord, Mr. Whopperer... I don't think I've ever experienced with my own eyes an adult in such arrested development. It seems like his wife is a very kind, but maybe a little bit of a lost individual... But she seemed to grow a bit at the end of this episode. Aside from her giving her daughter grief for "betraying" her simply for being nice to the other mother and laying a ridiculous guilt trip on her when she has clearly provided a lousy example of mothering in life. But him? And those kids everyone was so grateful for how she gifted them with money to further their education, and the father is bitching because he didn't get more. Like he said, he wanted beer money. And not one word of being grateful that she offered to fix his teeth. What a sad example. I hope their young-adult children grew successful in spite of him. That young man should not feel like he has to carry his parents who are both completely capable of earning a living.
Ingrid is the shit I love her trying her best to help them get out of their hump and actually caring
I thought she was super judgey. The first thing she said when they pulled up was “they live in a cracker box house”. She said she hated dogs, all animals and pets, and worst of all the way she acted about the flower pot.
It's really nice when people can agree to disagree and still help eachother with love and respect.thats what makes the world go around.
It's like a modern day Al and Peg Bundy 😂😂
No at least Al worked and payed the bills
But al worked
Michael seems like such a nice guy. hardworking and a good father
Ingirds husband said "did you miss us? I guess not" and when she first got home she just started unloading her stuff! I would have ran up to my family right when I got there!
It's a taxi hired by the show so, first things first if noone's at the door.
Ingred seemed cold in the first 5 min of the show and her son called Colleen a couch potato as soon as she came in wow unbelievable maybe he’s right but that was rude
he said that while she was enthusiastically hugging her kids so im pretty sure it was sarcastic. also as someone else said it was a taxi so she had to hurry up and unload her stuff rather than wait around
I haven't reached the ending yet but I loved the part when ingred got her tattoo and had a good time at the concert! That was cool she let her hair down and just had some fun!
Mr. Wopperer looks like Amos Slade from The Fox and The Hound
Gabby H yes. 😂
💀💀💀 he does
💀
When he said she was a couch potato I passed out from laughing he hit the hammer on the nail all she say is I'm tired really from What😂😂
They aren't parents😠 they r manipulating moochers. My heart breaks for these children. A PARENT is an EARNED title. It is not a RIGHT.
I like this episode, neither family were really rude or annoyed by each other. They both accepted each others lifestyles openly
Am I the only one who actually wanted to hear the whole cookie jar theory? 🤷🏾♀️
I wonder how they found these families? The huge lifestyle differences they have in each episode they aired always made me think that they must have sent out people all over the world to look for them, lol, or did they mail out something and how you responded to the questions and your opinion is how you were chosen. I can't be the only person who has wondered this... not that it matters it still cracks me up watching it and I would like to know where they are now.
I'm guessing they had on some website about a future show, each family sends photos and a bit about themselves , pictures of their homes. Then from there mix the opposite lifestyles for each episode.
