I fear Lydia has misunderstood our family dynamic, particularly the chain of command. We watched Supernanny this evening, and not long after the show ended she came to me in the kitchen and said, “I don’t think we need Supernanny.”

“Mmm,” I replied, non-committally.

“Yeah,” she continued, “Tage and Olof don’t scream and hit like those kids did. Especially not Olof.”
