The Young Family
Season 2 Episode 14
Monday 13 November, 2006 - 9:00pm on ABC
Shift work means that dad, Sherman, looks after the three Young children during the day before handing them over to mum, Joelle, at 4.30pm every day. With the parents hardly seeing each other throughout the week, much of the childminding duty falls upon eldest boy, Dylan (aged 13). His siblings, though, are too much to handle. Mum yells at them, dad looks on helplessly, and, when Supernanny arrives, she quickly realises that she has some major repair work on her hands.
