Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum

[DaVeyWaVey]

Anyone watch this on BBC3 last night?

It's a new programme, airing Tuesdays and Sundays with a 6 episode run.

Basically, it follows a group of lazy teenagers. I was shocked by how lazy they actually all are! All of them are in 18-25 age range, they sleep all day, none of them have jobs and their parents pay for everything they do. One of them said they would never get a job and they could never imagine themselves making a drink, ironing or cooking - how is he going to survive in life

This programme shows them living together as they try to survive in the 'adult world'. Each programme follows them having a task to do, working for one full day in different types of employment. At the end of each episode, the parents of each teenager decide which one of the teenagers aren't pulling their weight and can't handle the adult world and they have to leave the house. In last night's episode, they had to work in a hotel for the day.

I was really shocked by some of these people. One of them didn't even know how to slice bread?!? and one of the girls didn't know how to crack an egg!

It's the parents fault for allowing the children to become like that. If they had rules and discipline they wouldn't be so lazy.

Yes, you are right. One of the mums pays for everything her child does! He really got on my nerves actually, showing off about spending his own mother's money on everything - they have to learn that you've got to work to get the things you want.

It's still really interesting viewing though and I was compelled by how little these people actually do!

If these teenagers are lazy and clueless then the parents deserve to be lumbered with them for life as it's their fault the kids are like that. My parents split up when I was 7 and my mum returned to full-time work. My sisters, brothers and I had to pull our weight around the house, by the time I was at high school I was the only one at home but I could cook and clean without any problems. At 16 we were all made to get out and find a job or go to college but we were not allowed to lie in our beds all day. Even now Marley is 10 and she helps around the house.

sounds good, ill try and watch it

Just watched the 2nd episode now - I thought the right person went as Jay didn't really know what it meant to be working as a team.

Rachel seems to drink a lot which is quite worrying but the way Doghan sp? ripped into her at the end was really horrible. He's the one I dislike most in the house, despite finding them all irritating. He has a nasty temper.

My favourite quote of the series so far

"we don't know what's happened to the hot water"

"Hot water...it lives forever"
