I hate when nurses say it "it doesn't hurt, he just doesn't like to be held down". Look lady, I'm an adult and having a needle shoved in my arm HURTS. Pretty sure it hurts as a kid too.

[@lizanna6390]

Why do people lie to children about pain? I screamed when I got my ears pierced. I'd been told it didn't hurt but the way it clamps your ear left me aching for an hour afterwards. I was so shocked by the pain that when I needed them redone I begged to have it done with a needle instead. When I got my first tattoo I was expecting pain and got through it no problem.

[@Kloetenhenne]

Umm, that doesn't hurt?

[@strawberrysundae_megan]

@@Kloetenhenneit does especially getting bloods taken

[@Kloetenhenne]

@@strawberrysundae_megan no it doesn't. I am chronically ill and I have to do it all the time. Has never hurt. Not even as a child when your veins are smaller.

[@strawberrysundae_megan]

@@Kloetenhenne I get my bloods taken all the time and it literally gives me panic attacks and I can’t breathe and I’m not afraid of needles or anything it’s just when it goes in and takes my blood it hurts and sends my body into panic mode

[@Jojostrokesofficial]

The parents act like the kids are out of control and rebelling 😂😂😂😂 they act like all little toddlers imagine when they start really talking.

[@randimay3520]

This is horrible. There's absolutely nothing wrong with fast food for kids. But it shouldn't be every meal. I grew up in the 90s and we had fast food maybe a few times a month. Rest of our meals were home cooked and we always ate supper as a family.

[@kaic3532]

This and it depends on the portions, a small fries should be enough as a snack for a young child, not a whole plate like that toddler had at the beginning of the video

[@AsieMoon]

They wouldn’t be addicted to it if the parents haven’t given fast food to their babies in the first place. Don’t blame the babies blame the parents.

[@RachelLeader-q7f]

My so also had meningitis at six months, it messed his food up, and with all his operations it was one battle to far. He's 25 now and is still picky. My other child is the complete opposite . Amazing where you can hide veggies....lumpy mash became the norm.

[@totallychillgirl8072]

Poor babies 😢

[@persephone3309]

I can never bring myself to properly watch this. It truly breaks my heart and makes me feel sick. Lazy parents who don't care about their children. Yeah healthy home cooked meals can take longer to make and be more effort and work, but no one said being a parent was an easy job.

[@amyrivers4093]

Well said.

[@RoxyTrevellas]

Also, it doesn't kill you to eat the same food two days in a row. I'm a single mum with a fulltime job and I simply don't have time to cook every day. But in summer, there is always time for tomato salad and roast courgettes and in winter we have the same soup or stew for at least two days in a row. I keep the pot in the fridge and it makes our life much simpler. We have chips on a sunday out at a park, lake or swimming pool and the it is a real treat. This way is also very good for your budget and kids will not be too fussy about what they're served at school/friends' houses.

[@Azzsayswhat]

Add some spices for goodness sake to that jarred pasta sauce. It helps SO much! garlic pow, onion powder, salt, pepper, a sprinkle of sugar and it doesn’t taste so cheap anymore. It will take them some time but if they put some serious thought into healthier homemade meals, but it will happen.

[@WHU-lz7gq]

Why do they need an expert to tell them these things. When I learned I was going to have a baby I researched everything I could on nutrition. I changed my own diet so I could start eating healthy when my son could start eating solids.

[@finebetty7446]

So sad seeing kids eating alone on a sofa or even at the table but the parents not eating with them.

[@sillysigmah]

Coke literally contains caffeine, like most other soft drinks. More parents need to be aware that they're essentially giving coffee/energy drinks to their children.

[@sorryitsquinn]

Cps where are you this is abuse and neglect 😮

[@inmommashands7139]

Brittain is different, their number 1 problem is child carers. Meaning kids who take care of 1 or both disabled parents. Diet isn't a big Concern

I just can’t believe there are some couples who struggle so much to have children and then you have these guys who won’t even cook a healthy meal because they cba. Shocking.

The answer to her comment about feeling like a bad parent.. yes, yes you are a bad parent for giving into him and feeding him all that crap! On that note, good thing you recognised it and got the help! Well done!

[@Noooon123]

People in the comments need to remember that this documentary is 10+ years old! There's so many more educational resources regarding nutrition available for parents in the UK now (it's up to the parents whether they follow it of course)

[@denia1594]

You don't need resources to know what is healthy. It is common sense. Our great grand parents didn't need any help to feed their kids. It is laziness (except the 2nd family).

[@rhiannonheath399]

Still no excuse. When I was a kid 20 years ago my parents never fed us crap like this . We were fed healthy homemade meals

[@hypnoteapot]

​@@denia1594 there are people who literaly believe that drinking diet coke cancels the sugar of their dessert or that egg white is rooster sperm. You cannot count on the "common sense" of people, especially when there are children involved. When you don't have any sort of education, knowledge won't come from thin air the second you become a parent.

[@buzasroni1]

Doesn't matter. It's basic knowledge and it was 50 őr 10 years ago

[@emg79]

Did we not know 10 years ago that 6 cans of cola was bad for a baby? 👶🏻 🧐

[@SadieF-o4s]

Speachless its so bad for there little bodys

[@Ally-666]

This is like giving your children drugs. I mean sugar is quite as bad as some drugs.

[@madeleinejones4406]

Right, I really don’t think with the first family immediately getting rid of all sugar and unhealthy foods was a smart decision. It needs to happen eventually, but sugar addiction/withdrawals are real and a more slow, steady weaning off would be a lot more sustainable and beneficial long-term. Not even mentioning the caffeine

[@Yassssssvlogssss]

Why are u giving a 1 year old fizzy drinks they should not have sugar until the age of 3!!!

[@toastttttttt]

even 3 is young for sodas imo

[@beakamon]

Sucks to be them!

[@kaic3532]

@@toasttttttttI think they mean juice and stuff not specifically soda

[@kaikailvers]

this is completely unreasonable. If your child is under 5, don’t introduce them to fast food not even for a ‘taste’ babies are supposed to drink milk, not cola, and if they still have a pacifier, don’t give them fried foods. This is disgusting child neglect.

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

When I was a child, fast food was an occasional treat. My parents usually coked us healthy food at home. These kids will be addicted to fast food, it will be too late to introduce them to vegetables now thatvtheir custom to junk food. Oh, is that cancer and malnutrition calling atvthe door?

[@racerja3173]

Same here I only ate fast food as a treat too when I was a kid

[@redrosestwo]

When I was growing up, fast food was a every once in a while treat, not an every day-every meal thing. I've had too much fast food and have started to cut back. It is difficult to change the addiction, and it's a slow process, but it can be changed.

[@mandicamunak2001]

This absolutely child abuse. I never got to choose my food till I left school. If I didn't eat what mum cooked, went hungry. Spoilt and too many choices, social services should look into this. However the parents of Michael are brilliant and doing their best ❤

[@ImSPOTon]

Those poor innocent children. How can a loving parent do this . And ignorance to how bad it is I do not accept.

[@VixeyWitch]

Saying that you dont have control over what your children eat is just an excuse of you being lazy. My son is 9 now and he eats everything, I am overweight and I am showing my son that being on a healthy diet is what is best for him to keep his energy up. YOU ARE A PARTENT NOT A FRIEND. You are in more control than anyone

[@katelynnwoods]

Let him get hungry. He’ll eat. Eventually.

[@meganb4898]
