Don't know. Heather made a statement that she was no longer doing the show. She's doing community theater, which probably isn't much different!
How does that equate to them being on the outs? Is that just your inference based on the fact that she won’t be on the show?

You are misunderstanding my point. All single parents are not created equally. What you are talking about are single parents by circumstance: people who didn’t intend nor want to be single parents. No, their children don’t do as well because those parents are not prepared to parent them alone. They probably do have lower incomes etc.
The relevant point here is, Whitney and others in her situation who choose to have children on their own, are in general, older and more financially stable. Their children are not underprivileged. You can indeed find studies showing data to back this up if you so choose.

All you have to do is point out a general tendency even when it's supported by research and someone will tell you it's not true in every case, especially theirs. Well of course it's not and there are always going to be shades of gray
The general tendency, in fact the overwhelming tendency, of children raised in single-parent households where the parent intended to have the child on their own, is for the children to fare extremely well.

children raised in two parent households tend to do better in many respects, too many for me to list
Actually, children raised in single-parent households created by choice fare extremely well. Our kids were planned for and wanted, we moved mountains to have them, and we provide financially stable and loving homes. (By “we” I mean the single parent by choice community, of which I am a proud member. And my two teen boys are thriving.)
All single parent families are not created equal. You’ll find that the ones that were not formed by choice are the ones with the more negative outcomes.

Poor Dr Paradise, having to sit next to Margaret’s bed while she just laid there all splayed out, each and every ounce of flesh exposed to the world. At what point do you lose all respect for yourself and those around you? Cover up for God’s sake.
And the patience and kindness of her nurses was something to behold. Everyone recruited to help her was much kinder than she deserved.

Am I missing something? When has Darian been shown singing or to have a serious passion or talent for it? How did she get an audition at NYU for a vocal program when it doesn't seem like she even belongs to a choir or attends vocal lessons? Seems like a lot of shenanigans to me.
SpoilerIt’s quite real, as she did attend NYU.

“college” emphasis is mine
[Joshua] ‘explains, "This is, like, for us to gain sole custody of Alana from [Mama] June."
Joshua clarifies he's not coming at Sugar Bear "with a dagger," and instead just wants to be able to formally take care of Lauryn's sister.
"I just want to be able to take care of Alana like I have been taking care of Alana," he tells Sugar Bear, mentioning that this arrangement would include medical bills and college.
However, Sugar Bear is visibly having a difficult time with the situation and admits it's going to be hard for him to sign. As he said, it feels like he's "basically signing her out of my life."’

Oh, no. After having three boys, Audrey has given birth to a daughter (average-size, of course). Tori will go off the rails!
Any bets as to whether "shop will open" again and she'll go for a fourth in hopes of that mini-me?
Wasn’t their first baby a girl?

I thought Sugar bear should have had to pay at least some part of Alana's college bill.
He signed away his parental rights years ago

Beans and nuts are bad!? What are
you supposed to eat-lettuce and Air?
And when Daniel asked the dietitian about those items, she laughed at him. How about educate??

I hope Alana does stay in school. But if she is living with her boyfriend, I am afraind she is going to get preganant and drop out. He is certainly not interested in supporting her.
They’ve been together for years now and she hasn’t gotten pregnant yet. Looks like she’s smarter than that.
And he does have a job. So let’s give them both some credit.

So this “friend” Deb who came over to help out for a couple of hours, knows enough about the girls and the running of the house to get them from the bus stop, do the after-school snacks, homework, whatever, give them dinner, do baths/showers/pajamas/bedtime, since Adam was delayed by several hours, and got home after they were in bed.
And they claim they’ve never had someone help them with the raising of their kids. Right. Right.-

I am having trouble watching these episodes and I’m tuning out quickly. I don’t remember them from their first appearance and can’t figure out what is going on. Are they all previous failures getting a second chance?
No, they’re just following these people in their second year.
The first season of the show followed people for a longer period of time (5 years maybe?), and they were able to show more progress that way.-

Wow, the kids painting scene was so staged and awkward. Papa Derrico was so stiff. Trying to tell them how important it is to get it done no a scintilla of urgency in his voice.
Oh, okay, we need whacky hi-links to start. "I need to take a call," he says in flat monotone robotic voice. Comes back trying to act outraged and surprised. Definitely not going to win any acting awards.
🙄🙄🙄
Yep. I really like this family, and look forward to their show. But it’s all made-up scenes.
Give me something real.-

This has been fully debunked in the episode thread.
I’ll go with what Phil said rather than Danny.

No, it was the camera crew that got lost by not following Danny.
Yep because according to Phil and the show, Danny’s team made a bad turn and then decided not to wait and try to reunite with the crew. Sounds like bad navigation!

Here's an instagram post by Danielle from 4 days ago where she is defending her devout Christian self and asking people not to make negative comments about them because of their 'TV show'.... more or less. I guess I take issue where she is such a christian yet she can have a reality TV show featuring her minor children and actually create fake drama and pretend to do everything herself.
That is a HILARIOUS post by Danielle. Choose your words, be kind, etc…she should preach that to her family!

I was so happy to see Cecelia’s happiness when she fit on that rollercoaster. Good for her!

You forgot to add that the wife is mean to the husband.
She’s pretty darn nice to him considering how useless he is

As someone who lives a couple of blocks away from Pat's and Geno's, I almost cried at how the episode made our city look beautiful and interesting.
After watching this episode, I said, let’s go to Philadelphia this weekend!

Yikes what a nasty family. The adults are mean to the kids, the kids are mean to each other. So unpleasant.

Did anyone else notice the scene where they were eating something between each other (could have been a cupcake)? It was all I could do not to fall out laughing.
It was like a double cheeseburger sans bun. Made me gag
