SuperNanny - Meet the Cantoni Family
How many are as excited as I am that Dancing with the Stars is OH-VER?
Yeah, thought so!
How many caught this weeks episode with the Cantoni family?
Nina and Paul Cantoni are parents butting heads on how to raise their children — Nicholas, 6, Gabrielle, 3, and Giana, 10 months.
Mom is overwhelmed, especially by the headstrong Gabby who is prone to biting and tends to dominate the family with her insane tantrums. Dad is wrapped around Gabby’s finger, and be the bad guy, dad is constantly giving into them, undermining Mom as she tries to hold fast to boundaries she’s tried to establish.
Big brother Nicholas could use more quality time with Dad, but strives to get attention by acting out and talking back. Bedtime is a complete nightmare as Gabby has dad running up and down the steps getting drink after drink at her request.
I’ll admit that I was a bit surprised at how quickly Gabby came under control. I anticipated the bedtime ritual would take far longer then any one show slot would allow.
I was glad to see that by the end of the episode that mom and dad were working together and that everyone was well on their way to a positive family dynamic.
