The Moy Family

The Moy Family is the twentieth and last episode of Season 4 of the American Supernanny show.

Episode summary
In the Season 4 finale, Jo visits the Moy family in Lincoln, Nebraska where Michelle (37) and Harding (44) have three children: Hailey (11), Camryn (8), and Matthew (4).

With Harding working away from home Monday through Thursday every week, Michelle is left to care for the children. Michelle often has trouble dealing with her three quarrelsome kids, mainly due to constant sibling rivalry. Michelle also has trouble disciplining her eldest daughter, Hailey, because she doesn’t know what to do with her.

Hailey is becoming defiant and sassy, and has a strained relationship with both of her parents and her siblings, especially Camryn.

Camryn is also using attitude and defiance. She would argue and fight with her sister and her parents. Unlike Hailey, Camryn gets away with her behavior.

Meanwhile, Matthew is becoming spoiled and stubborn like his sisters, but unlike them, he throws temper tantrums if he doesn't get what he wants or his way. He doesn't like to be told no at all.

Jo later learns that the reason for Hailey's attitude is because of her dad's long absence, and feeling that her mom doesn't trust and like her. Hailey could tell of her her mom not trusting her because her mom gives more attention to her younger siblings which makes Hailey very angry and jealous.

Can Jo help Hailey to bond with her parents and her siblings? Can she help Michelle learn to have some backbone, so she can discipline and praise her kids?
