The Schrage family

Season 4 Episode 14
Wednesday 23 April, 2008 - 9/8c on ABC

Jo encounters the strangest sleeping arrangements she’s ever seen when she visits the Schrage family. “It’s musical beds,” dad Kyle admits – he and wife Christy haven’t slept in the same bed in eight years! Jo is mystified as to how the couple managed to have any more kids after their first one came along, since they get so little alone time together! Stay-at-home mom Christy drags through the day, too timid to enforce boundaries or discipline for fear her children won’t like her, and too detached to engage kids Ellie, 10, Emma, 6, and Cara, 4, during playtime. The walls throughout the house are covered with the kids’ graffiti and live-in grandma Memaw has little privacy as the girls rampage in and out of her room with no respect for her belongings. In addition, Cara still uses a pacifier… Can Jo help Kyle and Christy grow backbones and get the family back to sleeping in their own beds?
