If you’re like me and get comfort knowing there’s people worse off than yourself, than you’d have liked watching ‘Supernanny’’ on Wednesday night.

Six kids between the ages of 2 and 13, most out-of-control, a checked-out mom and a dad too busy trying to pay for the large house on the golf course and the custom swimming pool.

You guessed it, they lived right in the middle of Murrieta.

My favorite line was when the Mom put the 8-year-old daughter in a timeout and she went swimming anyway. ‘What am I supposed to do, go in after her?’’ she sarcastically asked the nanny.

It’s OK though, Jo Frost can train any dysfunctional parent within a week. In the end, mom went bowling with her kids and dad put his face in a tub of spaghetti and made everbody laugh.

Oh, and I went to bed feeling good about myself.
