Episode summary
Addis Family on Supernanny
Jo visits the Addis Family in Noblesville, Indiana where Leslie & Tony have four children: almost 6-year-old identical twin sons Jonathan & Jonah, 4-year-old daughter Eden and 2-year-old son Elijah.
The family is grieving over the sudden death of their live-in grandfather, Rick, who was known as the man of the house.
The lost of Rick has the kids acting out: The twins fight aggressively with each other, talk back, be defiant and lash out aggressively at their mom. Eden is a little princess, but she's very stubborn and defiant. Elijah is beginning his terrible twos. All 4 of the children throw temper tantrums.
While Tony is struggling to fill his father-in-law's shoes, Leslie is juggling caring & homeschooling for the kids along with being a homemaker. She relies on her mother Charity for help and direction, even though she is also grieving at the loss of Rick.
Can Jo help this grieving family out?
