Mega urgent help needed for BBC documentary

[nurse]

Currently sitting waiting to do this thing!  A bit nervous if I'm honest!

[Mark Olson]

there is the traditional lying in bed with the baby crying in the next room in the middle of the night and each parent pretending to be asleep so they don't have to get up.
I would lay there until I got kicked by my wife with the exclamation ITS YOUR TURN.

On rainy days I would come up with inventive ways to entertain my 3 daughters . On one particular weekend while( my wife was at work)  I hitched the dog to a round snow disc so it would pull the kids up and down the hallway. (note: the dog was a lab/husky mix that weighed 110 lbs.) so it was like sled dog fun time. slow trot for about 30 ft. with a 5,4 and 10 month old.
this not being fast enough for me I decided to give the dog an incentive to go faster. I took my daughters new kitten and and leashed it to the dog with a 3 ft lead and put the 10 month on the disc by herself and dropped the kitten in front of the dog . This worked a little to well and the dog bolted after the kitten that ran like hell from the dog. This ended badly with a pile up in the room at the end of the hall where the baby slammed into the wall when the dog turned right and the sled disc did not.

I worked out the trajectory and used pillows for the" crash zone" and we got a few more runs in before my wife came home and caught us in the act. I thought the bruises on the baby's head gave her character.  My wife was not amused .

Later the 10 month old developed a hobby of riding the dog around in the backyard at 5am with no diaper yelling "howdy, howdy, howdy"  . The back fence neighbors would call and wake us up with this news.

I probably should not mention the time the baby got left in the clothes dryer after a game of hide and seek . ........Yeah , somebody turned it on

4 kids 3 girls 1 1 boy
   
My youngest girl was in kinder garden
until Jake was born I used to tease the girls that I would trade them in for a boy. So one day I am driving down the road with my youngest daughter Amanda  she gets all quite and serious and says to me it wold be better if I was a boy. My mind starts racing I'm thinking what damage have I done to my kid. I pull over and ask why she thinks it would be better if she was a boy? Her reply because then I would'nt have to have a baby was a great relief to me

While I don't have any kids here is something from my childhood.

Sitting at dinner one evening a week before Easter.  What are we having for dinner?  Yup.. Rabbit.. What does my old man tell my sister and I? 

Hey kids.. hope you were not expecting any candy for Easter, because we're eating the Easter Bunny!

We never had rabbit again..

Well went to London today to my 'thing' it went ok but was not quite as I had imagined.  The types of thing they told me they were going to talk about and the stuff I (with help from You guys) prepared wasn't really what they wanted.  Feel a bit cheated if I'm honest!  that's TV I guess?!  Should be going to air in late feb/march.  Not sure if you guys get BBC abroad?  Can you access the BBC iplayer on the Internet?

Doesn`t matter. It was a really great thread. Got heaps of laughs out of it. Your next interview should be over here. We`ve started your language lessons already.

I know and you have taught me well!  How many Brits would know that the capital of oz is Erinsborough, that its largest town is called summer bay and the Sheila you lot call prime president lives at No 10 Ramsey street.  On a serious note did I read somewhere your prime minister is half British or something!

I should be so lucky, Lucky lucky lucky!

I had bought my grandson a Lowes tool kit (all plastic toys) last weekend, my daughter called to tell me he took these plastic toys and had disassembled his crib, and taken all the nuts and bolts to her. He'll be four in Feb. This weekend they came up for Thanksgiving, I found him in the garage with a srewdriver "fixing" the carbs on my Seca 900....

Sorry to resurrect a rather old post but I thought I would update you all. 

The programme i was asking for help with is now finished and goes to air on the 21/3/13, 9pm on BBC3.  Its called 'The Baby bomb' It runs for four episodes over 4 weeks. Dont blink during the first episode as you may miss me, i only feature for about 2 minutes.  however as the series gors in you will see a bit more of me!!
I guess this is more for those of you in the uk, but those over seas may be able to watch it online somehow.  I will try to post some bits up on YouTube and on my new website.  I have to go to London for an advanced screening in Sunday.  It's right in the centre of London Town so will have to take the bike (weather is cold and wet but it is the only way to get there and park!). I'm heading off on a tangent now!

If any of you happen to like what you see (or don't see) and wish to email the BBC and tell them how great that male health visitor was in 'the baby bomb' I would be so grateful.  This is a hugely cheeky ask but They may do another series and if I can get my foot in the door I would be so pleased!  Consider this an SOS to all kind hearted soles that after the 21st could take a few minutes out of their day to email feedback to the BBC. I don't even mind if you just make it up!!

I will post up again after it goes out to see if anyone caught it!

Have added a link for the programme

For all the older ones out there "Gunsmoke" many years ago:

I remember this exchange between Matt Dillon and Dirty Sally:

Dirty Sally: "I think children out to be kept in a rain barrel and fed through the bung hole (of the barrel) until they're 18!!"

Matt: "What happens when they turn 18 - you let them out?"

Dirty Sally: "NOPE! You plug up the bung hole!!!"

I forgot to mention I got a website too!  Yes this is shameless self promotion and for those who understand SEO my website guy has asked me to put it about a bit!  Besides its no good for 98% of you coz you many of you live on the other side of the planet or pond! so it really is just a helping hand.  But on a genuine note I am just sharing with you all so you can see what I have been up to.  Plus any help from my FJ brethren would be gratefully recieved.  Feel free to post the address in blogs or share with friends on forums or websites!

Mike,
We're just eagerly awaiting the scandal that naturally follows a reality TV star's climb to fame.

What's yours gonna be? Drugs? Sex? Violins?

Good Luck! (PHUCK EWE!!!)

Sincerely,

Steve

What are tha odds. Clicked on tha link to watch some pommie fj brother (I didn`t have a clue of what it`s about) and it`s all about baby stuff. I thought, "only pink stripers would be interested in this!".  But would you believe, right beside me is my daughter breastfeeding grand generaless Ella Grace. - I ended up watching all three clips (with my daughter) and they absoluteley loved it and hung off every scene. (Well Ella looked happy - but that coulda been cause she was enjoying brekky I guess). My Daughter`s comment - They really need more (read desperate) of that in Australia. (She`s got a degree or two in science, education, kids etc). Onya Mike.
