Did good raising 7 kids...NOT!


Harley Ethan and Georgie are the only good kids. Rachel is a slutty ungrateful b. The twins just do whatever they want with apparently no supervision ever. And don't even get me started on Daphne. Just bc she is the youngest does not make her cute.
The mom seems more worried about finding her next hiding spot than her family.

Calling Rachel slutty is really just slut shaming, she has done nothing to be called that. She's self absorbed yes but not slutty, I don't even consider her boy crazy. But anyway it's realistic kids aren't going to be perfect angels, if that's what you think then you should go watch the Brady Bunch and 7th Heaven. Considering how bad the kids could be: running around in the streets at all hours, starting fights and bullying kids at schools, using drugs and alcohol, the kids aren't bad and I don't think she did a bad job at all.

Be careful whom you label "slutty," rekoehler11. Rachel is a self-absorbed 16-year-old. But in the long run family comes first with her. She showed that on several episodes so far. If Rachel were a slut, as you say, she'd be sleeping around with Cuffs and probably other boys. She dresses in questionable outfits at times but is testing boundaries and her parents quickly rein her in.

Daphne does concern me with her collection of dolls that look like props for an Alice Cooper concert tour. She also is the youngest of seven siblings and is fighting for attention, not always pleasantly. I expect her to grow out of it. Louie and Beast are rambunctious kids who will mellow out as they get older.

Speaking as the oldest of a (now longtime grown) family of six children, much of the over-the-top behavior portrayed is here done for effect to emphasize the incredible energy and, yes, sometimes chaos of a family of nine. (My siblings and I, like the Diaz family, were raised Roman Catholic.) But in the end all of the children are there for each other. That's one thing emphasized on this show: in the end, for the Diaz clan the greater good of the family comes first.

Yeah, I know filankey is not a word, but it's gonna catch on.

Relax people when I say slutty I am referring to get clothing choices

In the last episode it wasn't Daphne who was in the wrong. She was just watching T.V. and Ethan and Georgie told her to give them the remote because their older and then pulled that prank on her when she was sound asleep. Daphne did go overboard with her payback but I don't think she is as bad as most people say.

I don't think there has been a scene weren't destroying something are acting up. Those two have serious mental issues.
