Jo Encounters The Craziest Sleeping Arrangements She's Ever Seen When She Meets The Schrage Family, On ABC's "Supernanny"

Monday, April 07, 2008 -- "Schrage Family"-In this episode, Jo encounters the strangest sleeping arrangements she's ever seen. "It's musical beds," the sheepish dad, Kyle, admits about his family of five, and the parents haven't slept in the same bed in eight years! Jo actually tucks mom into bed with two of the kids during observation time, and later says it's amazing the couple ever had three children, considering how little time they have alone.

Stay-at-home Mom Christy drags through the day, too timid to enforce boundaries or discipline for fear her children won't like her, and too detached to engage her lively young girls, Ellie (10), Emma (6) and Cara (4), during playtime. The walls throughout the house are covered with the kids' graffiti. Live-in grandma "Memaw" has little privacy, as her grandchildren troop in and out of her rooms with no respect for her belongings. In addition, four-year-old Cara still uses a pacifier because Christy is prolonging her youngest's babyish tendencies. Can Jo help Christy grow a backbone and get the family back to sleeping in their own beds? Find out on "Supernanny," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
