    Everyone has different definitions but some that are on this programme seem to quite pleased to be classed under this catergory - the first one admitted that she does no housework whatsoever spends all day in front of the TV no cooking, housework etc done and just traipses between the couch and fridge all day. The dishes were piled high with mould growing over them - not exactly hygenic or a great advert for bringing 3 children up in. If its not someones cup of tea there are always other programmes to watch, but in my opinion I am surprised someone would be happy to be classed as this, but then again not everyone has the same ethics or standards. Just thought Fly lady and grocery challenge and some of the other threads came to mind, when they said they were struggling to cope with everything

    I'm not watching, but I suspect that like many programmes of this ilk, there may be underlying mental health issues. Just my twopennorth :rolleyes:

    We've just been watching Cranford - shows how proper ladies should behave :T

    i just put this on after seeing this post (got to be better than all star mr and mrs) it is weird as the programme info on our sky box says who will "win the crown of worst wife"....

    ...I am really confused about the woman that had to cook meat and the man said it was raw??? Is that her partner??????

    And how is this woman who cleans the worst at anything???
