The kids are always the saddest parts of shows like this. I haven't seen a huge amount of them. But I remember one in particular where the mom couldn't even go onto the playground with her kid. Because she couldn't fit through the playground gate. She just sat or stood there watching as her friend constantly did a better job at parenting her kid than she could. And yet the kid wasn't bitter at all. Just super sweet and far more adult than the ham ever was.
