Tate Family

In this episode, Jo heads to Ponte Vedra to help Paul (45) and Joanne Tate (48) with their seven children. While oldest children Dawn (17) and Brock (15) are well-behaved, it's their younger siblings that are naughty. Mary (12) likes to spend hours upon hours on Facebook and Bebo, talking to her friends and playing violent video games. Cameron (8) swears a lot and refuses to do his homework, claiming that it's too hard. But it's their fraternal triplet siblings that are the worst behaved. Andre, Alyssa and Alexis (all aged 4) are the most terrible toddlers in town. They fight with each other, spit, say bad words, steal toys, draw on the walls and refuse to sleep in their own beds. Can Jo put a stop to this behavior?
