  • 0:00 - 0:03
    [MUSIC]
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    This is the Woods family.
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    A British stepfamily from Grantham.
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    Mom Lucy works nights at a local college.
  • 0:12 - 0:15
    [INAUDIBLE]
    >> She has two children from a previous
  • 0:15 - 0:15
    marriage.
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    Twelve year old Caitlin and
    Billy, who's ten.
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    Dad Steve is a fireman who works shifts.
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    [NOISE] And then,
    there's the head of the household.
  • 0:26 - 0:33
    >> [NOISE]
    >> Two year old Charlie.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    [MUSIC]
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    >> This tantruming tot
    literally rules the roost.
  • 0:39 - 0:43
    He screams and shouts to get his own way.
  • 0:43 - 0:48
    Fits out at his family and
    throws aside anything in his path.
  • 0:48 - 0:49
    >> Whatever Charlie wants, Charlie gets.
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    And quite often,
  • 0:50 - 0:54
    he gets things that he doesn't even
    know he wants just to shut him up.
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    >> Shut him up.
  • 0:55 - 0:55
    >> What do you want?
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    Do you [INAUDIBLE]?
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    Do you want something nice?
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    Shall we swap seats?
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    Do you want to go to the gym?
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    >> No, [INAUDIBLE]
    >> [INAUDIBLE] get you dressed?
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    If Charlie wants the TV off,
    we'll turn the TV off.
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    >> No.
  • 1:08 - 1:09
    >> Stop it.
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    If he wants the lights off,
    he'll have the lights off.
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    In fact, quite often he'll have the lights
    off, the fire off, and the TV off.
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    And we'll just sit in the dark until he
    decides [LAUGH] what we're gonna do next,
  • 1:19 - 1:19
    isn't he?
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    >> Yeah.
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    >> It's basically like he controls mom and
    Steve, me and Billy.
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    [MUSIC]
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    >> All right,
    he wants me to leave him on the floor.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    [MUSIC]
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    >> With Charlie in charge,
    every day is a frustrating battle.
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    [MUSIC]
  • 1:38 - 1:42
    Meals take hours as they try
    to persuade Charlie to eat.
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    Getting clothes on or
    off can be a daylong struggle.
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    And bathtime is all-out war.
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    [MUSIC]
  • 1:52 - 1:58
    Every exhausting day ends with a two-hour
    struggle just to get Charlie to bed.
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    Only for
    it all to kickoff again during the night.
  • 2:01 - 2:05
    [SOUND]
    >> We go and fetch him, and
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    bring him sort of straight into our bed.
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    Quite often he'll kick one of us out,
    won't he?
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    >> Yeah,
    he doesn't usually like us both in there.
  • 2:12 - 2:16
    [SOUND]
    >> Obviously it does affect our sex life.
  • 2:16 - 2:20
    There is no sexual relationship, or such.
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    >> It's not just Lucy and Steve's
    relationship that Charlie's destroying.
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    The two older children, Billy and
    Caitlin, are suffering too.
  • 2:28 - 2:32
    >> I do feel left out,
    because before he was born, it sort
  • 2:34 - 2:38
    included me and Billy in all of
    the stuff that Charlie does now.
  • 2:38 - 2:42
    >> I can't do my homework because
    Charlie always takes my book off me and
  • 2:42 - 2:45
    then steals my pen and writes on my book.
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    >> It's not fair that they're missing out.
  • 2:47 - 2:52
    Missing out on things because we
    give all our time to him because
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    we're scared of him.
  • 2:54 - 2:55
    It's not fair on them.
  • 2:55 - 3:00
    [SOUND]
    >> I think we've got to the point now
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    where we need somebody to come in.
  • 3:02 - 3:06
    We need this nanny to come in, and
    it's got a bit too big for us.
  • 3:06 - 3:10
    >> Enough's enough, yeah,
    we need it stopping.
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    >> No, it's not a game.
  • 3:12 - 3:13
    Stop now.
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    [INAUDIBLE] Nicky!
  • 3:16 - 3:17
    Nicky!
  • 3:17 - 3:18
    [MUSIC]
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    Stop, stop.
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    >> Ow.
  • 3:22 - 3:23
    >> Hey!
    >> If we don't get his
  • 3:23 - 3:26
    behavior sorted before he
    starts going into September,
  • 3:26 - 3:30
    I am quite worried that he's gonna be
    excluded from every school in this borough
