the baby borrowers
Has anyone seen this ??
Its where a group of teenage couples move into the families home and take over the role of carers. I cant make my mind up as to wether its a brave thing on the parents side or a good thing for the teenagers .. Its on tv ..bbc3 now what do you think? |
Re: the baby borrowers
The parent's knew their babies were involved?
I assumed they'd nicked them from outside of supermarkets.:D |
Re: the baby borrowers
lol !!! G
yeah what it is ,is a group of teenage couples start firstly by each borrowing a baby for a 3 day period (which has just ended tomight) with very facinating results may i add.. then if they are still together haha ..the next task is a toddler for 3 days ,and then an elderly person .. A qualified person is on hand 24/7 but must only intervene if they feel there is danger to the child/pensioner ,parents have been watching from another house close by on monitors and can also come in to give advice etc..at any time.. one couple had their child removed and two other couples are on the brink of seperating , but all have said what an eye opener its been to have a baby around and didnt realise just how hard it was going to be.....reality eh!!! Well IMO if they thought it was hard with a baby god!!wait till they get the toddler in the next prog .. But its a good prog and shows just how teenagers all so easy think it is to have such a responsibilty until it actually happens .. but it did make me think if i could ever hand my baby/toddler over to an unmarried inexperienced couple even for 3 days ...and i dont know .. I suppose under those circumstances and depending on the temprement of the child maybe /maybe not:confused: :) |
Re: the baby borrowers
I think I'd be very worried at the prospect of handing over a baby to a couple of teenagers to look after for 3 days, even if they were closely monitored - it only takes a second for something to happen and by then it could be too late to intervene. Mind you teenagers babysit don't they?

Re: the baby borrowers
i watched a bit of it and thought it was a bloody good experiment
might make these young uns a bit more responsible when it comes to getting pregnant but i must admit some of them did very well |
Re: the baby borrowers
I haven't watched the programme but saw it advertised, I know I could never let them look after my baby, even though they are supervised, I just couldn't do it.

Re: the baby borrowers
I have been watching the programme and i have different views for different couples, the posh punk kids OMG he is great but she has alot to learn he did everything with the baby and around the house he even got up in the night he asked her to look after the child for a bit and she went off her head saying that she had made his dinner and his tea and that she was knackered HA what a laff get a grip girl!! he was gutted last night cos the babies went and all he wanted was for her to say well done you did a really good job and all she could do was sulk because he spent more time with the baby than with her!
I have to say i am enjoying watching. |
Re: the baby borrowers
I didn't watch this but i have seen similar in the past,i could not hand jack over to teenagers now let alone when he was younger.Even when im with people that are playing games with jack i find i have to stop myself from commenting on things they do.My great aunties especially-the first thing one of them says to him every time we visit is 'NO' (and then keeps saying it the whole time) when he does something his not meant to-never praise when his good or does somthing nice, or even 'hello'!I have to walk out because it gets on my nerves,so as for a stranger looking after him-no way.

Re: the baby borrowers
well for anyone whos not yet seen it is on now bbc3 first night with toddlers
|
Re: the baby borrowers

Think we all missed the manual, funny how everything else no matter how easy comes with one:rolleyes: Toddlers heheheehe now thats a bit more challenging than babes :eek: lol |
Re: the baby borrowers
Im finding it easier to look after Jack now than i did when he was smaller-for most people its the other way round.
Ask me if i still feel this way when jack starts potty training! Haha one of the toddlers is called Yanik!!! |
Re: the baby borrowers
If i had kids i wouldnt risk it leaving my baby with a couple of teenagers who dont have a clue on how to look after him/her. By the way i havent seen it dont get bbc3 its what i've read in the papers about it.

Yanik - :rofl38: he's not chav's lovechild is he:rolleyes: |
Re: the baby borrowers
I aint seen it but if they are typical teenagers even a manual would be no good because thats still telling them what has to be done. Teens would rather do it their way and their alone. If its that bad it should be shown at schools to cut teen pregnancy rates.

Re: the baby borrowers
No neither did mine. I had a friend who had read all the books and when she had children they were going to be perfect. She knew exactly what to do and hers weren't going to cry and keep her awake at night. She was going to get them into a routine and she would sail through weaning and potty training. She knew exactly what to do when they had tantrums and exactly how to get them to behave.
Then she had a baby and came down to earth with a bump! Now she's got 2, one a baby and one a toddler and she's looking rather frazzled. I haven't said "told you so" but I have thought it :D |
Re: the baby borrowers
LOL its just a manual that the parents have written a little bit about there child for example what they do/dont can/cant eat,bed times etc.
I must say i spent my maternity leave researching different parenting styles,and information about babies- which came in handy but i dont do everything i read,my friend took the p*ss saying jack is a 'text book baby'but shes the one with screaming fussy kids-not me :D |
Re: the baby borrowers
being a mum come naturally for most, the only book i ever read was with my first born and yes I will admit it did come in handy when they are ill, and thats it, never read about how to do this or that it just came to me naturally and I never got any help and I was on my own at the time. and shes turned out great :D

Re: the baby borrowers
Well I just watched tonights episode of the baby borrowers and for those who missed it it was the OAPS 3 days ..and it made me think !!!!
Im 42 and kind of in between , ive done elderly care myself but it were so interesting tonight ...there were those who coped with the ie ..ones who could still party and the one who couldnt cope with lets say rubbing cream on scoriosis ridden legs and in general just couldnt handle old people and had ignorance of the elderly once being young.. It really scared me to the extent that I rem being a teenager and I personally would have done anything for the elderly , even though I used to think.."what do they know"..but the way the youth of today is going made me fear for the elderly and ie me getting old ..omg if they are that ignorant now what are they going to be like in 20 yrs time ?? ...im not condeming all youths but watching that tonight was really scary |
