-'always gets her own way.' -That's just a waste of energy. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
My mum doesn't tell me what to do anymore. If she does, I will purposely try not to do it. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
Just leave! I'm serious, just leave, please. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
She's so incredibly rude. She's just a cow, really. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Sorry, I don't mean to say that, and I love her dearly, but she's a cow. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
And I'm just hoping she's going to grow up. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |

'But single mum Julie still gives in to her every demand.' | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |

my driving lessons, my car insurance. Everyone having a good time? | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
My tax, my MOT. I need money, so she should give it to me. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-Georgie! -'And any attempt at challenging Georgie's behaviour isn't worth the angry outburst.' | 0:02:47 | 0:02:54 | |
Have you washed your hands? It's Georgie's way or no way. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
What? Don't stare at me. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
She smashes things. Her language is atrocious. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
I can't get any peace if Georgie's on the warpath. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
'Georgie's parents had a acrimonious divorce, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
'which was tough on her as the youngest of three kids.' | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Dad left when I was, like, three, and he lives quite far away. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
I don't really see him or hear from him at all. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
With my mum, I don't have a relationship with my mother. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
It's just a person you pass, like, somebody you say hi and bye to. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
I get angry with myself because I think, "What if I'd done this?" or "What if I'd done that?" | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
or "What if my husband and I had stayed together? Would it have made any difference? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
"Could I have stopped her being so angry?" | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |

-Big day, isn't it? -It is a bitch! | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
I've built up a character of having to be bolshy and loud and stand my ground, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
a kid that didn't give a shit, and now it's hard to get out of. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |

-Oh, let me have a go. -'17-year-old Callum Watson | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-'is the life and soul of the party.' -I'll have some of that, you have some of that. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
On a good night out, we go in a bar. Just have a ball. That's what you go out for. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Suck it dry! Suck it dry! | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Oh, and get drunk. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
'But it's not just the drinking that's a problem.' | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
I have took LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, weed, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
MDMA, ketamine. All fun, though, really. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
He'll go out till two, three in the morning. He won't know his own name. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
The worst thing for me is policemen knocking on my door saying they've dragged a body out of the canal. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:39 | |
'With parties and socialising taking priority, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
'Callum's been struggling with college for the past year.' | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Callum was pulling As and Bs and now he's pulling Ds. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
He's already had a warning saying that he might have to resit the year. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
I'm not getting out of bed, I don't want to yet. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Obviously, things are going downhill and the reason why is I can't be arsed. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
I can't be arsed with much. I'm just a lazy person. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-Cal! -What? -Tea! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
'His lazy attitude spills over into his home life, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
'where he expects his mum Athene to do everything around the house.' | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-I'm not having quiche. -Well, just have the salad, then. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
I don't want it. I'll have the cucumber. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
I do think Callum takes me for granted. I think he takes this whole situation for granted. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
'His mum had Callum as a teenager | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
'and his dad left before he was born.' | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
My dad's called Dave and that's all I want to know about him, really. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
-Mum, can I have that tenner? -What's it for? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
-For beer. -You're 17! | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
I can't discipline Callum. No should mean no, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-but it doesn't in Callum's world. No means, "Let's just bully Mum and I'll get it." -Right. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:48 | |
I have human rights, as well, so why should I do something that other people don't have to do? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
'To teach the teens respect for their parents and themselves, | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
'their mums are sending them to live with a strict family halfway across the world.' | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
I don't know why I'm doing this. Be good, behave yourself. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
Listen. Come on, give us a hug. Come on! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-Bye. -Be good, all right? -Yep. Can we just go? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
I want her to just look at things a bit differently and not be so confrontational and angry. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
That's what I'm really hoping for. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-See you later. -Be good. No swearing. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
-Bye, Mum. -Bye! -Bye. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
What I'm hoping for Callum when he comes back is that | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
he realises that he cannot be totally disrespectful like he is at times. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
Fingers crossed he comes back a different person. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-Hello! -Hello. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |

'Benjamin and Shasha have high expectations of their kids.' | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
For me, American culture is too soft. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
We're thinking that that's not a good way to raise kids. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
My children look at me as a very stern father. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
There must be rules. There must be a standard for them to meet | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
in order that they become successful in their life. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |

Dad grew up with nothing and he relied on absolutely nobody | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
and it's that independence and that realisation that if I work hard, I know I'll succeed. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:43 | |
My dad's a resounding example of that. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |

'Both kids are expected to adhere to their parents' traditional beliefs.' | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |

He actually said, "I never want to see that grade again". | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
My children understand, if they don't do well, | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |

and they'll get something positive before they go home. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
'Worried about the hidden cigarettes, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
'the British teens need to work out where they stand with Alex and ReeRee.' | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-Have you ever been to England? -No. My parents have. -It's a lot different. -Culture's a lot different. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
-American culture is different, but we're a Chinese household. -Our culture's a lot different. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
-Are you grasses? -Are we grasses? -Grasses? | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
-If we did something, would you run to your mum and dad? -Depends what it is. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
Oh, don't do it. You're one of us, yeah? You're like children. We're not children, but you know what I mean. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
-If you do something pretty serious. -What would you class as serious? -Smoking. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:13 | |
-Especially if they've already laid out the rules. -'Realising his new siblings aren't on side, | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
-'Callum changes tack.' -Do you think I could do a deal with them? | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
-Like what? -Say, like, "If I give you my fags, could I have three a day?" | 0:15:22 | 0:15:28 | |
I think you should. Let's do that. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
-'The plan is to pretend to be honest...' -Hello. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
-'..whilst telling a big, fat lie.' -I have three cigarettes on me | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
and that's all I have and I was just wondering, | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-could I have one a day just to set me off and then that'll be it? -No. -No. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
-Can I have one now? -No. Absolutely not. -Can he please have one? -Just one. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
-This is the last one that I'll have for the whole time I'm here. -No. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
-Why? -Why? There is no why. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
-Let me have this last one. I'll give you the rest of them. -No. No. Absolutely no. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
I don't care. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
'It's only been a couple of hours since the teens landed in Charlotte...' | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Callum. Georgie. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
'..and already the quiet streets of Providence Downs are seeing some unusual action.' | 0:16:12 | 0:16:18 | |
-What are you doing now? -We're just going to go for a walk. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
I have no idea what's going on. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
I just heard them talking about smoking and asking permission | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
and then they started running out. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
-Would you like to hand over your smokes? -No. -How many do you have? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
I have three and a half. There's three and a half there. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
-And that's all you have? -That's all I have. -Are you sure? -100 percent. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-100 percent? -100 percent sure that's all I have. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
-Take a fag and just give them... -They're the only ones. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
-If I can just have that one and then that's it. -No. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
-Come on, come on, come on. -He's going for a fag and I'm going with him. We'll be back. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
Where are you going? Callum. Put your smoke out, please. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
Why can't I just finish this last one? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
-Can I have these two? -Yeah, you can have them. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-And can I have that one, please? -No! -Let him just finish it. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-Please! -Let me have two more on it. -No. -No, don't... | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
Can I have it? Can I have your lighter, please? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-Can I have your lighter, please? -Right, you can have the fag, but you're not having the lighter. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:21 | |
-There. Have it. -Thank you. Thank you very much. -Have it. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:27 | |
He is a good boy, but we cannot let him smoke. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
If we let him smoke today, you know what will happen the next seven days. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
-You'll be OK. -Right. -I love you, you'll be OK. I'm so proud of you, giving the three cigarettes. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:43 | |
-Right. -OK? -Yeah, I'm fine now. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-Sorry for lying to you. -It's OK. It's fine. Yeah. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
'But with cigarettes still hidden all over his room, Callum's still lying.' | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
I thought, "Fuck it, have it!" | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
But he didn't get them all. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-Let's welcome the new members of our family. -Cheers. -Yeah, cheers. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
'It's lunchtime, and in the Li household, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |

-I want the fish. -OK. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
'And that includes the teens.' | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
-Very strange. -I don't like you serving. I don't like it. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
I don't really want you to do it. I don't feel comfortable. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-I just don't feel right. -I'll just give you a little. -OK. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
This way, you appreciate others doing work for you, so I think it is a good way. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:38 | |
-OK, shall we start? -We'll try the chopsticks. -We'll try. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
-It's really hard to pick up rice. -Do you know people say using chopsticks helps your brains, too? | 0:18:42 | 0:18:49 | |
-One minute. -You can't give up, you've got to stick with it. You have the whole week to master it. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
-Georgie, where do you come from, what part of England? -Essex. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
-Essex. -Essex? -Near London. -Oh, near London? | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-Really near London. -I come from Manchester. -Oh, Manchester. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
-You know Manchester but you don't know Essex? -I've heard of it. -THEY LAUGH | 0:19:06 | 0:19:11 | |
'The culture shock is proving difficult for Callum.' | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
It's a bit weird, really. A bit too full-on. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
The girl has to, like, serve the dinner. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
The adults should look after the children, not the young person looking after their parents, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
serving their food out for them. That's just strange. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
I know I'm going to get stressed because I can't have cigarettes. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Absolutely dying for one. I really, really, really need one. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
I've got this bloody thing. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
It tastes foul! | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |

-Is that OK, Dad? -Shall we go for a walk on our own? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
-'But after this morning, the Lis aren't letting them out of their sight.' -We want to walk on our own. | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
Yeah, you go. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
But we're not. You're following us. It's getting on my nerves. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
No-one can leave us alone for two minutes. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
You're still following us! | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
-Watch your language. -I didn't swear! | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
-You are not using... -What did I say? | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
-You're not very polite. -You're not our parents! You're not our parents! | 0:20:17 | 0:20:22 | |
-But we're the eldest. At least we are your elders. -It's not fair. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:28 | |
I'm so aggravated! | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
'Benjamin and Shasha aren't used to kids questioning their authority.' | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
If we say it's time to go home, they just go home. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
That's not acceptable. They will apologise. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
-We need to talk. -Yep. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
Can you sit up, please? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Benjamin and I were not happy with your action. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
You have bad attitude, you show no respect when addressing elders. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
You're staying in our house and you promised you would observe the rules. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
At the end of the day, I went to you and went, "Can we go for a walk?" You said, "Yeah, sure". | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
Don't say to us that we can if you're going to follow us. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
I did say yes, you can walk, but we tag along. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
Our responsibility is to take good care of you, | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
-make sure nothing happens to you. -You don't let your 16-year-old daughter walk up the road? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
We do not allow ReeRee to go on her own. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
-You're not out with her every single day. -No, stop it. You cannot treat adults that way. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
Rule number one, respect. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-OK? That's above all. -You give me respect, then. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
We are past the discussion. OK? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
-Nah. -So if you do not apologise for what happened... -OK, I'm sorry. -I accept your apology. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:46 | |
'The teens are realising it's not got to be as easy as they thought to get around the Lis.' | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
I just want my space! I don't ever have anyone telling me what to do. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
I don't have rules, I don't have boundaries. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
I do what I want to do when I want to do it. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
And this is just... They're telling me I can't do this and I've got to do this. I don't like it. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:05 | |
The first day was not uneventful, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
but I think we handled it well. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
I like it. I like the kids. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
They have some issues, some problems | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |

Good morning. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |

'As a first-generation immigrant, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
'Benjamin has had to work his way up from nothing.' | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
Children need to know nothing comes easy. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
If you want to do something, do it right. They start work, they finish, and finish to the standard we set | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
and make it good. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |

-Rescue Mission? -What do you rescue? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
'The Charlotte Rescue Mission is a residential centre that helps recovering drug addicts.' | 0:23:26 | 0:23:31 | |
-Good morning! -Good morning, sir. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
'The kitchen manager Rico will be in charge of the kids while at the mission.' | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
Let me give you an idea of what's going on right here. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
This is the Charlotte Rescue Mission | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
which administers a drug and alcohol rehab programme. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
We have over 100 guys here that come here, they live here, they go to class here. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
It's a life-saving programme. Got any questions? If not, let's go. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
'As major donors to the mission, | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
'the family expect the kids to be on their best behaviour.' | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
Remember, be respectful, just follow instructions, please. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
-Follow the rules. -Yes. All right? -BOTH: Yep. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
-Thanks. See you later. -Yeah. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
How long have you worked here? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
I've been an employee of the mission since 2007. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
-Are you, like, in charge of everyone? Are you the top dog? -I'm in charge of the kitchen. -Oh, OK. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
But I'm not really in charge. God's in charge. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
'All of the kitchen staff are recovering addicts | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
'and after a quick tour, Rico puts the kids to work with the chef.' | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
So what we're going to do is we're going to do some prep on some food. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
We're chopping up some vegetables. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
-This hurts my arms. -Oh, my goodness. She's fired. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
I'm fired. I can't do it. My arms hurt! | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
-Oh, my arms really hurt. -Oh, God! You've not even started yet! | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
-Stop complaining. -I'm not complaining, I'm just saying my arms hurt. -She's being a baby. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
-Will you do mine? -Could I do yours? No. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:09 | |
'Georgie is trying to palm her work off | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
'and Rico is not impressed.' | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
-She's going to finish her loaf. -That's right. -I'm trying! | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
-She's got about three more slices. -Oh, you do it. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
-You want me to do it? -I said do you want to do it? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
No, I would like to see you continue to do it and finish your job. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
'Georgie and Callum have taken a break, leaving Alex alone to finish the clean-up.' | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
It's kind of frustrating me right now. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
Because they act like this is for them. This is for someone else. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
This is the whole point of them being here, to help other people. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
'Alex isn't the only one noticing Callum and Georgie's work-shy attitude.' | 0:25:51 | 0:25:56 | |
They are typical kids. Strong-willed and self-centred. | 0:25:56 | 0:26:01 | |
-You guys want to help? -Yeah, you guys, come on. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
Y'all can't bail out on me now. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
I have to show them that this is how it works, | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
because unless we show them, teach them and guide them, they won't know. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
'Rico's being patient, but Alex has had enough of picking up Georgie's slack.' | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
Yours is really clean compared to ours. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
Can we swap? Cos you've got a really easy one | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
and you're a good child, so... Thanks! | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
-I'm not switching with you because it's easier for you, I'm doing this because I'll do a better job. -Whoa. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
CALLUM LAUGHS You're not better than me! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
-I'll do a better job on this than you. -And how do you know that? | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
Because you just asked to switch. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
-Cos I didn't want the harder work. Doesn't mean you'll do a better job. -Then prove it. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:52 | |
If I did the full job, I would do it to its full capability. Doesn't mean... | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
So is it worse that you are capable but choose not to out of laziness | 0:26:56 | 0:27:01 | |
-or that you're incapable of doing it? -I'm here, aren't I? -OK. -Am I here doing it? Yes. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-You're here because you're being forced to. -No, if I didn't want to do this, I wouldn't do it. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
I'd be sunbathing. But I am doing it. You're making me not want to do it with your attitude. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
-Stop talking to me like that! End of. -You have the worst attitude of anyone I know. -I don't care. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:19 | |
-Thank you. -Pour a little bit of this. Not much. Not a lot. Yeah, that's enough. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:24 | |
I thought they'd take it more seriously, and they really didn't. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
Georgie was trying to hand off every task. Callum was a little better, but they just thought it was fun. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:33 | |
They talk a good game at times, but then when it comes down to it, they don't ever deliver. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:38 | |
'The busy schedule is routine for the Lis. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
'But upstairs, Callum and Georgie are reeling.' | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
It is a big shock to our system and they're not realising that. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
This holiday's just becoming boring and robotronic | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
and it's just become an effort and days are just going by so slowly. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
'At dinner, the kids present a rose-tinted view of their day.' | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
There was points where we wanted to stop but part of us thought, "No, cos this is helping everybody else". | 0:28:12 | 0:28:17 | |
-It's really strange. -Made such a difference... -Yeah. -..to our understanding. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:22 | |
Yeah, the main thing is to take more responsibility | 0:28:22 | 0:28:27 | |
and maybe learn something from their mistakes. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
I'm really understanding what I have now. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
I had everything handed to me on a plate back at home. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
I had my car, I had my money, I had everything. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
And to understand that it is hard for some people | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
and you have to work for your stuff. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
'Georgie is putting on a fine performance. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
'But Alex wants his parents to know the truth about her behaviour.' | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
-They really were not doing that good of a job today. -Wow. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
-So they were not quite honest with us. They did not tell us everything. -No. | 0:28:56 | 0:29:02 | |
I think that they're perfectly OK with this cos this is how they behave normally. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:06 | |
As representatives of the Li family, I wanted to do an extra-good job to make up for their really poor jobs. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:12 | |

This is not a problem, because kids make mistakes. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
But you need to learn. That's the whole purpose. You cannot lie. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |

-Can I talk to you? -Can we do this tomorrow? I'm really tired. -No, we need to finish talk today. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:33 | |
Georgie, could you tell me what happened today, what you did today? | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
Why are we talking about it now? I want to sleep. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:42 | |
Because I don't think you did a good job today. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
-You don't think I did a good job? -No, because Alex talked to me. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:50 | |
-Yeah, I ain't doing this. -OK? Come on. -Nah. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:54 | |
Georgie. Georgie. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
What are you doing? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
-Georgie. -No, I'm really, really angry now. Really, really angry. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:06 | |
-I tried today. -You need to tell me the truth. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
-Because you... -You believe what your son said? Me, your son and him had a disagreement for five minutes. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:14 | |
So don't say I didn't try, cos you were not there, you have no right to put a judgement there. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:19 | |
I trust Alex because he did most of the job. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
-Were you there? -I... -Were you there? | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
-I'm not there. -Were you there, yes or no? -But... -No! | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
So you did not see if he did most of the job. No. We all did our equal share. You were not there! | 0:30:28 | 0:30:33 | |
That is the end of it! Cos I'm getting very frustrated right now! | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
-Doesn't matter if you're frustrated or not! OK? -If you don't think I tried, then I will not go back there. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:42 | |
Do you want me to bring Alex now to talk to you? | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
No, not when you're like this! I'll talk to him in my own time. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:48 | |
-Alex, why did you tell your mum I didn't try today? -You didn't try. You're not serious. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:52 | |
If you're going to yell... Do not yell at my mom. All right? | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
Listen to how she's talking to me and saying I didn't fucking try! | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
-I am pissed off! -The world does not revolve around you! | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
I'm trying to fucking walk away and she's following me! | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
I'm going to ask you nicely once. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
-You cannot say bad word in this family! OK? -You do not talk to my mom like that. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
-Listen to how she's talking to me! -No, I don't care! You do not talk to my mom like that! | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
-I'm going to keep walking away and you'll eventually give up. -No, we won't. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:20 | |
We're not like you. We're not going to give up! | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
-It's not that easy! -Oh, you're putting it on for the cameras. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
I'm not! If you want to talk about putting it on for the cameras, you're the only one that does that. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:31 | |
-You're like a three-year-old! -The reason I'm upset, Alex, | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
is because your mum has just walked into the room I'm staying in and said, "I don't think you tried". | 0:31:34 | 0:31:39 | |
Most of the time, you really were not that into it. That's my honest opinion. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
Well, your opinion that you have to share with everyone to make a situation. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:47 | |
-You are disrespectful to my mom! -She's disrespectful to me! -How? You are just a liar! | 0:31:47 | 0:31:52 | |
I'm getting angry now cos you are calling me a liar about how I felt. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
Don't film me with that fucking thing like this! | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
-Listen, Georgie. -No! -Georgie, you're just acting like a very bad kid! | 0:31:59 | 0:32:04 | |
No, Mom, let her walk. It's fine. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-She's never had anyone stand up to her, OK? -Mm-hm. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
-You all right? -Yeah. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
She's not used to it. She said, "I'll walk away and you'll leave me alone, that's what everyone does". | 0:32:17 | 0:32:23 | |
It's a cry for attention. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
I think... If she thinks everyone can follow her, just let her go. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
It's just not fair, at the end of it. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
They started this whole problem. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
What do they expect, for me to go, "Oh, you are right, I should've tried harder"? | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
What? They're really going to expect me to say that? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:42 | |
What did she expect when she walked in my room and said that to me? Stupid bitch. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:47 | |
-Don't listen to her. -Mm-hm. -OK? | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
You were doing the right thing. You did it because you care about her. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:54 | |
-You're the world's best parent, OK? -Mm-hm. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:00 | |
They knock you down so they can build their perfect person, like they've done with their kids. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:06 | |
They are programmed to do this, this and that. They can't fucking programme me! | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
Oh, it's difficult. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
It is hard for me to see kids lying. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
-I'm not going to have her talk to you like that. Either she's going to change or she's gone. -Yeah. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:23 | |

how to learn to be respectful. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |

that is why you are excelling so well in everything that you are doing | 0:44:04 | 0:44:08 | |
-because you all have that prod in the back pointing you in the right direction. -Yeah, we have. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:13 | |
I mean, it's not like we enjoy sitting doing homework all the time, but our school's really competitive. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:19 | |
SHE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:44:27 | 0:44:30 | |
'Even after the study group, there's still more homework for ReeRee. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:34 | |
'But Georgie is starting to realise that there are benefits to the Lis' strict parenting.' | 0:44:37 | 0:44:42 | |
They might be pushy, they might say "do this, do that," but it's not to make her miserable, | 0:44:42 | 0:44:46 | |
it's to give her the better life they have. It's an amazing house, | 0:44:46 | 0:44:50 | |
and she now is probably going to go to Yale and have an amazing future ahead of her. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:57 | |
Your life is determined on the first 20 years. | 0:44:57 | 0:45:00 | |
-And that is... -And we've only got three left. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
And that's what life is, it's trying to get the best out of yourself that you can get, | 0:45:03 | 0:45:08 | |
and I don't think we have. I don't think we've tried. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
'It's Georgie's last day at the Dove's Nest.' | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
All right, pumpkin. We're doing yard work today. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:22 | |
We're just going to do the front. It's very small and it doesn't take that long, | 0:45:22 | 0:45:26 | |
but it's the real world, baby. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:29 | |
'All of the girls in recovery help with the upkeep of the house.' | 0:45:29 | 0:45:32 | |
-OK. We're going to do the front. -Awesome. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
'And today, Georgie is helping Cindy, a long-term resident, with her chores.' | 0:45:35 | 0:45:40 | |
Oh! That is so hard! | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
Oh! I can't do it! | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
I can't do that. That is so hard. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
-MOTOR STARTS Agh! I've lost a wheel! I don't want it to fall off. -You got it. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:55 | |
SHE GROANS | 0:45:55 | 0:45:57 | |
OK. It's too hard. I can't move it! I'm weak! | 0:45:57 | 0:46:03 | |
-There you go. -I feel like an American gal. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:07 | |
-Oh, come on! -SHE SQUEALS I did it! | 0:46:09 | 0:46:12 | |
-Really good. -IN AMERICAN ACCENT: I'm mowing the yard! | 0:46:12 | 0:46:16 | |
She did not want to do it in the beginning, but look, now she volunteered to do this other half. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:25 | |
Yay! Look at that! See, you can see your work. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:29 | |
I can see through her somewhat, because I'm older and she reminds me of my children, | 0:46:31 | 0:46:36 | |
but you can see in her eyes, she's mad at the world, you know, seems like, | 0:46:36 | 0:46:40 | |
and it's very sad to see people that age that angry. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:44 | |
'Callum and Alex are also spending the day at the mission. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:54 | |
'With Callum admitting to his own drug use, | 0:46:54 | 0:46:57 | |
'Rico is showing him the reality of life in the rehab centre.' | 0:46:57 | 0:47:00 | |
-This is where I live. -'Rico himself is a resident, having had a drug problem in the past.' | 0:47:00 | 0:47:05 | |
-If you are in the halfway house and you are a staff member, you have no real restrictions. -OK. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:11 | |
The only difference being that they have curfews. And we have guys sometimes that break the rules. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:17 | |
And there are consequences. There's always consequences to bad behaviour. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:21 | |
And I'm here to tell you, I got a lot of experience with bad behaviour and consequences. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:25 | |
So today I try to do the right thing. But that's basically it. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:30 | |
'Having battled with his own addictions, Rico doesn't want to see Callum make the same mistakes.' | 0:47:30 | 0:47:36 | |
One of the things that I wish that I could go back and change was the drugs and the alcohol. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:42 | |
For so many years I got high, | 0:47:42 | 0:47:44 | |
the drugs made me happy, made me have... You know, I liked getting high. | 0:47:44 | 0:47:49 | |
-But I never knew that eventually it would almost kill me. -Mm-hm. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:54 | |
-I probably was trying to cover up some feelings. -Mm. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:58 | |
What do you think is the reason you started getting high? | 0:47:58 | 0:48:01 | |
I don't know. It's basically to fit in with friends and that. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
But it's also a way of getting out of reality, and you don't have to worry about what's out there. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:09 | |
Take it from me, and don't have to go through what I went through. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:13 | |
But it starts right now. The choices that you make right now will determine how you live later on, | 0:48:13 | 0:48:20 | |
-and what happens to you. -Yeah, I get you. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:24 | |
'Hearing about Rico's past has made Callum take a look at his own drug use.' | 0:48:24 | 0:48:29 | |
He's gone through the programme, so he has more understanding than most. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:33 | |
So he helped me open my eyes to it. I don't want to end up in a place like that. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:37 | |
My heart goes out to everyone here, but I don't want to end up in the same situation. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:41 | |
I think the earlier I stop, the more early I concentrate on everything else, the easier it will be. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:46 | |
Rather than just carrying on with it all and end up somewhere like here. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:51 | |
-Thank you very much. -OK. All right. | 0:48:51 | 0:48:54 | |
-See you. -All right. Take care, man. -You, too. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:58 | |
'Cindy has been in rehab for the last five months. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:06 | |
'She has two kids of her own and wants to chat with Georgie before she leaves.' | 0:49:06 | 0:49:10 | |
I've been a teenager and now I'm a mom, so I get to see both. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:14 | |
And really, everything that aggravates the stew out of you, | 0:49:14 | 0:49:18 | |
I promise you're going to one day go, "Wow, I wish I'd listened to my mom." | 0:49:18 | 0:49:24 | |
It's not even... We don't have that thing, we don't talk at all. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:28 | |
She's out to lunch and she's doing this and this and I'm doing my thing, and we're just so separated. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:33 | |
Do you miss her? Do you want more time with her? | 0:49:33 | 0:49:36 | |
I've tried and just been rejected. So I've given up, I guess. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:40 | |
Keep trying until you do because she's going to hear you one day. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:44 | |
Sometimes parents, we don't know how to sit down like I'm trying to get you to do. | 0:49:44 | 0:49:48 | |
It's like, "Don't you do what your sister... You're going to end up pregnant. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:52 | |
"You'll end up a drug addict," instead of, "I love you, I don't want you to go down that road." | 0:49:52 | 0:49:58 | |
As hard as it is for you to talk to her, I'm sure it is for her. I didn't know how to talk to my kids. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:04 | |
I do understand, I have quite an attitude problem and I can get quite snappy. | 0:50:04 | 0:50:09 | |
Just understand, if nothing else, that she loves you. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:12 | |
She may not know how to show it, she may be busy, busy, or... | 0:50:12 | 0:50:16 | |
But, you know, she really wants the best for you. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
I realise now that I should just take my time and not be so "ughhh" with her. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:24 | |
-I mean, if nothing else, you don't want to end up like us. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:50:24 | 0:50:28 | |
-I love you, baby. -I love you, too. You taught me a lot. | 0:50:32 | 0:50:35 | |
'Georgie's time at the Dove's Nest has come to an end.' | 0:50:35 | 0:50:38 | |
I'm going to need more than this trip to build that relationship with mum, | 0:50:38 | 0:50:41 | |
but I think I will try and I want to try. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:44 | |
-Bye! -Bye! -I love you. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:47 | |
I need to stop being so snappy and aggressive, and I'll be more willing to listen to her opinions, | 0:50:47 | 0:50:53 | |
and realise, even if we argue, I will think and remember I am lucky to have what I have. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:58 | |
-Bye! -'The Dove's Nest has made an impression, | 0:50:58 | 0:51:01 | |
'but back at the house, there's still an uneasy truce between Shasha and Georgie.' Dinner's ready! | 0:51:01 | 0:51:08 | |
After she and my mom got into the fight, | 0:51:09 | 0:51:14 | |
I feel like it just went downhill from there. | 0:51:14 | 0:51:17 | |
-I've never had shrimp, but I'm going to try it. -Really? | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
In our family, even if you're wrong, you're right because you're the parent, | 0:51:20 | 0:51:24 | |
-and your children can never speak to you like that, no matter what they're saying. -You like soy sauce. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:30 | |
'It's been a tough week for Georgie and Callum.' | 0:51:38 | 0:51:42 | |
I found living with the Lis challenging at times, but I've learnt a lot, as well. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:46 | |
I've learnt to be less selfish. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:48 | |
And also about my mum, I noticed she has done a lot for me and that she is a mum rather than a friend, | 0:51:48 | 0:51:53 | |
by looking at Shasha and Ben and how they work. | 0:51:53 | 0:51:56 | |
We've got to get to a 50/50 way, I've got to help her and she's got to help me. | 0:51:56 | 0:52:00 | |
Hopefully become a better relationship and a better mother and son. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:03 | |
'And even Georgie is looking towards her future.' | 0:52:03 | 0:52:07 | |
Before, it was just have fun, you only live once, but that's the point, you only live once, don't waste it. | 0:52:07 | 0:52:13 | |
So I need to take responsibility now and just try and do it. Get on with it. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:19 | |
-Goodbye! -See you. -I will miss you. -I will miss you, too. | 0:52:21 | 0:52:26 | |
-You be good, OK? Love you so much. -Love you, too. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:29 | |
Have a good trip home. Bye. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
-See you later. -Yeah. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:39 | |
At the beginning. I thought I could straighten them out, whatever their problems. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:43 | |
As time went by, I almost wanted to give up. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
-See you. -But because I saw progress in Callum, | 0:52:46 | 0:52:51 | |
it made me believe that my method of teaching them, or helping them, may have worked. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:57 | |
-See you. -Bye. | 0:52:57 | 0:52:59 | |
Maybe we had some impact. Georgie, maybe at the bottom of her heart, | 0:52:59 | 0:53:04 | |
there is something good from this trip. | 0:53:04 | 0:53:07 | |
Aww! Mommy! | 0:53:07 | 0:53:11 | |
For Georgie, I pray that the Dove's Nest has been good for her. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:15 | |
I think when she looks back and reflects, whether she wants to admit it or not, | 0:53:15 | 0:53:19 | |
she'll realise that what we were doing was for her best, and I do hope the best for her. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:24 | |
But at the same time, I'm glad she's gone. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:26 | |
Homework time! No distractions! | 0:53:26 | 0:53:29 | |
-It's really quiet now. -Yeah. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:32 | |
Hopefully, living with a different family and her comfort zones taken away, | 0:53:39 | 0:53:44 | |
she can appreciate what I tried to do for George. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:48 | |
-Ughhh! Freedom! -I really do hope she's had a good time. I've missed her. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:54 | |
Hello. | 0:53:54 | 0:53:56 | |
You all right? | 0:53:56 | 0:53:59 | |
-How are you? -I'm good. -How was it? | 0:54:00 | 0:54:04 | |
-Let's have a look at you. -Stop it! -You all right? -Yeah. -Did you have a good time? | 0:54:07 | 0:54:12 | |
For me to be able to hug her was wonderful. Of course, you can't change anybody in a week, | 0:54:12 | 0:54:16 | |
it would be unrealistic to think that, but I think, perhaps, she will realise how lucky she actually is. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:22 | |
-So come on, tell me all about it. -I ate a lot of Chinese food. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:26 | |
'It was good to see her cos she was happy and stuff.' | 0:54:26 | 0:54:29 | |
Hopefully, it will get better with time, we'll get into a system of it becoming natural | 0:54:29 | 0:54:33 | |
that we talk to each other normally instead of always arguing. | 0:54:33 | 0:54:36 | |
Oh, I don't care anymore. | 0:54:43 | 0:54:46 | |
-I'm so sorry. -It's all right. | 0:54:48 | 0:54:51 | |
-Nice being home. -What have you been doing? -A lot. | 0:54:55 | 0:54:59 | |
-We went to a charity thing, where people who are on drugs, like addiction, really... -Yeah. | 0:54:59 | 0:55:06 | |
-I don't want to be held back by drugs. -That's so good to hear. | 0:55:06 | 0:55:09 | |
I could see you going down that road. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:12 | |
Another thing, I've seen Shasha and Ben, | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
they're parents who have done so much for their kids, | 0:55:15 | 0:55:20 | |
-it's put it into perspective, all what you've done. -Yeah. -It's made me appreciate it a lot more. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:25 | |
The only way this little unit can work is if we go together, mate, we pull together. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:30 | |
-I can help you every step of the way. I love you, buddy. -I know. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:34 | |
Callum's come back willing to try, compromise. I think we'll make it. I think he's going to make it. | 0:55:35 | 0:55:42 | |
I feel like if I just do baby steps at a time, I will get there one day. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:48 | |
I feel quite optimistic about my future now. | 0:55:48 | 0:55:51 | |
I think the Lis are amazing. And I want to say thank you. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:55 | |
I've got my son back now. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:58 | |
'Next time on World's Strictest Parents, | 0:55:59 | 0:56:03 | |
-'vodka vixen Hannah Button...' -I've been called home again. -OK. My bad. | 0:56:03 | 0:56:08 | |
-'..and rebellious Richie Ready...' -Come on! Up you get! -Leave me alone! | 0:56:08 | 0:56:12 | |
-I hate it. I hate living with my dad. -'..get new parents in Turkey.' | 0:56:12 | 0:56:15 | |
-You go through my pockets? I swear... -Richie. -Get off me. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:18 | |
-Are you going to a party? -I wear this whatever. | 0:56:18 | 0:56:22 | |
I just worked, like, in the heat, like, sweating my balls off for nothing. | 0:56:22 | 0:56:26 | |
Nah, it's fucking ridiculous. Nah. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:30 | |
