Later on the boys sit in there room to play games yet again, Joseph causes trouble by pinching John.

As the day progresses Nanny Stella witnesses how rude the kids are as Lynn is sent to her room (for unknown reasons) Nina explains to her why but Lynn interupts her by yelling ¨I didn't say that!¨, ¨ I didn't think that¨. Nanny Stella says ¨These are some of the rudest kids I have ever met¨. Dinner was awkward with the kids making side glimpses at The Nanny. After dinner chaos ensues Joe Sr & Joseph Jr get into a shouting match over a game.

### Teaching Begins

Nanny Stella sits down the Priore Family. When it came to the rule ¨No Hitting¨ Joe Sr asked if it includes spanking (as he spanks his kids occasionally) Stella introduces a reward chart which included Mom and Dads name all the kids were surprised the x meant bad and the checks meant good.

The next morning all 5 kids were eating breakfast and getting ready for school. Nanny Stella explained that the screaming and shouting was no longer accepted and also if the kids don't clean their rooms she and the parents will take a big trash bag and confiscate there items, after the kids catch the schoolbus. When the kids come home from school they rush through the door like a tornado as they throw their backpacks and coat off Nanny Stella takes the trash bag and goes through the boys room and confiscated their items, the girls take off into their bedrooms thinking that they'll get their belongings in time but Nanny Stella confiscates the girls items as well the whole family was horrified.

Joseph started to jump around his father tried to discipline Joseph but he kicks off and has a meltdown and starts screaming. Joe Sr yells at his son to sit on the couch Joseph refuses Joe threatens spank him, Joseph gets up and hits his dad. Joe Sr physically tries to drag his son to timeout but trips and drops Joseph Jr. On the sofa Joe Sr holds Joseph down and shouts at him. Nina talks to Stella about how she feels about the madness the goes on in her house everyday, she says she has anxiety and breathing issues.

To tone the stress down the kids started to do chores such as cleaning rooms ,making bed etc. Before dinner Nanny Stella sat everyone down and reviewed there behaviour everyone got a check except for Dad for yelling at Joseph earlier.

When Joe Sr was cooking, Joseph wanted to play a game, and when he was told to wait so he started to act up by stealing Faith´s schoolbook in order to draw attention to himself his father started to lose his temper and yell. When he asks ¨Who´s book is that?¨ little Joseph responded with ¨It´s mine¨. With dad yelling and Joseph telling lies Nanny Stella reprimands Joe for his abysmal way of discipling Joseph and tells him he needs to regain control of his son or he´ll be in juvenile hall, Joe sheepishly says, ¨Maybe he deserves to be there¨. After hearing what He just said Stella pulls Joe aside and tells him he needs to control Joseph before things get worse. Joe finally relents and agrees to speak to Joseph. Joe explains to Joseph that he doesn't have to misbehave to get attention.

Stella sees good improvements and the family shares there tearful goodbyes. The family is fixed !
