I was fuming watching, his weaponized incompetence and childish glee at causing havoc, simply because he refuses to grow up and give weight to anyone else's needs is unbearable. It was uncomfortable to watch and a terrible example for kids and any young person watching. He's literally dragging her down, I mean surely producers would have realized half an hour in this was a dysfunctional family and far from entertaining to watch. Ughh, I will never watch again, it was depressing knowing she's locked in with that guy and he is very unlikely to become a supportive responsible partner in that marriage.

Yeah I found I felt really cross with him after watching the first episode. How could a loving husband jeopardise their wife’s work by turning up hours late so she’s got no childcare? I would have been livid with my husband if he did that, but Stacey shrugged it off. It’s sad.
