Realistic makeovers help make life fun again.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this makeover show -- which deals with real issues that many moms face, such as being overwhelmed by childcare duties and their own high standards -- isn't very likely to interest kids. The focus is on mothers, although one dad concedes his part in his family's chaos. Social drinking is considered a normal part of proceedings, and there's some very occasional mildly salty language.
Violence & scariness:
Not applicable.
Sexy stuff:
References to breasts in terms of style/fashion.
Language:
One of the subjects talks about how a situation "pisses" him off, but that's about it.
Consumerism:
Aside from the show itself, which is based on the magazine Real Simple, there's an Office Depot in the back of one shot. Coming back from a trip to the store, the camera focuses on the Sears bags, and the company is mentioned. Nothing too blatant, though.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
There's a fair amount of talk about and engaging in social drinking of wine and other alcoholic beverages.
