Ladies and gentleman: Before there were Karens, there were Wendys!

Wendy is so focused on being right, she has no chance of ever learning anything further in life.

I don’t think I’ve ever disliked someone as much as this dang lady. This man is a saint and she doesn’t deserve him.

Wendy can dish it out but can't take it. She is fully willing to criticize everyone around her but once she gets just a little bit of criticism, she goes off. Her parents failed her.

He's a hard worker, he's handsome, handy and seems to be intelligent. He's literally the ideal man. And she's a lazy, entitled, arrogant adult child. I guarantee they won't last. Sad really, but hopefully he can find a better woman that he deserves.

He gave up smoking!!! And is still calm and working hard. She is having issues working on one task. -.- I'm glad to see the end results and hope they are doing well now.

As a nanny I used to work for mums like this. Completely jealous of anyone other than themselves bonding with their babies. Even their partners.

Wendy doesn't seem to understand that she can't afford her lifestyle. It's fine for her to want to spend as much time as possible with her daughter and be a stay at home Mom but she can't afford that right now. Plenty of kids have been raised by 2 working parents and they ended up just fine.

I remember this show. This young lady was very "entitled" and difficult for Gail. Even after Gail acquiesced and gave her a camera to make money. Wow! But, Gail still handled her with grace.

14:25 Wendy, give the man some credit. Let this father have fun and enjoy time with his daughter.

This guy is amazing. She truly doesn't deserve him.

That wife is going to run her family into the ground. Also she's seems like the type of mom who won't allow any input on raising the kid from the dad, resulting in the dad being distant from his own child. And then she'll resent him for not helping more with the baby.

The husband quitting coffee and smoking is very hard. Good for him. He must be very determined.

He was doing a good job with his daughter! She needs to lighten up and let him have his own routine with his daughter! Structure is important to children, but so is fun with Dad!

If I’ve learned anything from these episodes, it’s that half of Canada is on “mat leave” at any given time.

I was a substance abuse counselor for more than 20 years. Quitting smoking is the hardest substance to quit.

Gail handled the situation a lot better than I would have, kudos to her! I also feel very sorry for the husband. Good on him for quitting smoking!!!

Gail is a class act.

It makes no sense to be a stay at home mom when you can't afford to feed your kid or keep a roof over their head. She's not helping her family she is just too lazy to work.

I am super angry Wendy did not want to allow her husband to spend time with their daughter so she can go and earn once a week. He said its a really great stress relief for him after working hard all week. Why should she be with her daughter 24/7 and deprive him of a few hours with the daughter? The kid won't get to know the father at that rate. Then she whinged all Sunday, the little time they had together as a family. Having said that, she's a talented lady who would be wasted in cleaning or in retail. She needs develop her photography business. I'm glad the couple worked it out in the end with their own ideas.

I couldn’t live with Wendy

Dan deserved the present, not Wendy.

I would love to see a reunion to see how many of these couples actually continue with the plan…

Wendy? More like Wendigo 😭😂

I think Gail was 100% right about where their situation was going to end up, I hope it’s not true but I think it probably happened.

Hopefully by now he's gotten rid of that selfish lump of uselessness.

Who quits their job if their employer doesn't give them a raise?

Good grief, the wife is a witch! Her way or the highway.

She wants to be a stay at home mom so she can hang out with her friends who are on maternity leave. Entitled, smug and selfish.

I love how Gail just drowned the cards in the aquarium 😂💳🐟

Talk about a CATCH 22. Wendy trapped Dan with a pregnancy thinking having a baby meant she didn't have to work. Dan is working 24/7 trying to pay for everything Mrs "Stay at Home Mom" wants. Wendy's pissed that Dan isn't home more helping her with the house and baby. Dan is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If I didn't think Wendy would be one of those angry controlling "single moms" who refuse to let their ex see the kids I'd advise him to divorce that witch. Best thing to come out if this episode is that Dan quit smoking. ❤

I find it funny how Gail said “you’ll be bankrupt” and the wife just smiled. Seriously? How the fuck do you smile about declaring bankruptcy?

This marriage is toast.. she it totally unrealistic

This is like watching my stepson & former wife! She was lazy, entitled, spoiled, selfish, and always went home to momma when life got tough. Glad my stepson got tired of the situation - so finished his college education, gave her an ultimatum (Stay there or go to another state with him as he worked on his master's) They divorced & he's happy and now married to a lovey person! Side note - this gal even looked like my former daughter in law

Gail cuts the mans coffee out of the budget and then makes a "wake up and smell the coffee" joke. Oh that's just mean

Watched this episode when it first came out. To this day, when I hear the word asinine, I think of this episode. Wendy was entitled.

I like how financial problems aren't always the man or always the woman. In this case, it's Wendy. My heart goes out to Dan. Does she have post partum issues?

Christ on a bike she’s something else eh

Wendy deserved NOTHING.

I was a SAHM for 10 years, since our son has some issues. How did we do it? I waited until we were in our thirties and we're financially stable. I didn't want it all immediately. We waited until my husband made enough to feed the family alone. And we were frugal even before we had to.

She quit her job ...ridiculous...that guy needs to get away from her ...arrogant and very cheeky...she is a cheeky brat and does not deserve that hardworking man

Wendy's kind of controlling isn't she? Bet they're divorced and won't let him see their kid.

That woman is terribly entitled and snobby. You cannot afford being a stay at home mother when you cannot afford it compounded by mountainous debt. There are women who have not had the luxury of taking mat leave. This woman had a challenge to earn more money but instead out of anger for not getting a raise … quit. You cannot afford your lifestyle and wants. Be responsible and accountable before your hands up about preferences.

Wendy seems unaware and selfish... she can’t see the big picture. If she continues, she’s gonna be forced to be a stay at home, living on welfare. Oye vey! Ppl are so short-sighted!!

I quit smoking many years ago after many failed attempts. I still even dream about smoking and wake up feeling guilty! I hope this guy continues his streak.

Dan tried. Quitting smoking is tough I hear. Wendy's attitude hurt them. Wishing them the best!.

She didn’t deserve that camera.

Wendy is in total denial about the situation when she has decided to be a stay at home mum, as Dan himself can't make sufficient income on his own and she won't even pull her portion of the weight to financially support the family. Even if Dan works a second job while Wendy stays at home to care for Rowan, it's not fair to Dan as he's totally cut off from his daughter due to financial obligations. In Canada there's a very high percentage of households that are raising children with 2 working parents (dual income), because of now the high housing costs (in relation to the income) and some even had to have family member from an elderly generation to provide for childcare (3-generational households), again for economic reasons even with generous incomes.

9:20 - she is irresponsible. I feel sorry for the husband, who has just given up smoking - another stress factor. She is using her child as an excuse not to work, even AT THE WEEKENDS with father staying with a daughter?!

Wendy is a nasty person. That man deserves better. She didn't support her husband or work as a team mate. I feel so sorry for that man.

Wow! Feel sorry for the man

I went back to nursing school two days after my daughter was born because I knew I needed to make more money for HER. I get wanting to spend time with your baby, but staying home when you're in a precarious financial situation is completely selfish IMO.

He should file for divorce and full custody. He has the job. He can put his daughter in daycare. He’s the responsible one. His wife is the going to drag him down.

she needs a job so he can spend time with their kid

They have been married 8 months...have a 3 month old and haven't spoke for 4 months ....a relationship on hyper drive.

So she's angry that she needs to bring in some money and can't spend all her time with her daughter...okay what about her husband then? I'm sure he'd like to stay at home with his daughter too but he can't because he's the breadwinner and she quit her job

I didn't know you needed a RESUME to get a retail job a a clothing store 😂😂😂😂 And guaranteed if Wendy got a job at a kid clothing store she would spend her paychecks on clothes for Rowan.

Where are they now? I'm going to take a wild guess and say divorced

I wonder if these two are still together?

9:20 Wow. That was just dumb. I understand if you want to make more money. But when it comes to quitting a job, it's good to make sure you have another job lined up. I just can't believe she quit her job.

This guy is a stand up husband and dad. His wife doesnt seem appreciative of his efforts. I hope they ended up solving their problems with finances and staying together.

If there was something that alot of the couples have in common is that they spend more than they make. I remember reading The Adrian Mole Books and after his Friend Parvez got through with him, he realized he couldn't afford to live where he did, didn't pay his taxes, jumped from job to job, and worked in a Bookshop. He got his life on the right track but he never saw monetary stability. His mother got by on "Assistance", he grew up in he 1980's and in England it was very rough, then his Father was chronically unemployed which also caused problems.

At least the baby won't need the formula forever, usually not past one year. Gosh I wish that wife would stop having an answer for everything...

What job would give you a raise over the phone and when you haven’t been at the job for six months cause you’ve been on maternity leave, she did it on purpose so she could quit or she is just not too bright

She is insufferable and entitled. He deserves better.

I wish they'd do a "where are they now" series - I'd love to know who got their acts together and who didn't.

Miss entitled needs some anger management classes and emotional growth classes. I see a very childish, selfish, tantrum throwing, demanding, spoiled and hateful person. She treats and talks to her husband in an authoritative, critical, hateful manner and tone. I don't see this lasting.

She's a dancer? Hahahahaha yeah right. There are tons of photogs that are good but she can still make that extra $50 with just ONE photo shoot. She doesn't want to work.

I think this entitled mom would be perfectly happy on welfare because she really doesn't want to work and the baby is a pleasant but also a convenient excuse. I would be surprised if her LT goal is to be a SAHM, which is fine if your spending is under control and is commiserate with your income. She doesn't seem to realize that money she spent added to their debt and by telling her credit card holder she can't pay the bill doesn't take care of the problem. I feel very bad for the husband who is a hard worker and seems very responsible.

Feel bad for husband she is a nag

Dan is adorable. Wendy? Not so much.🫤

Wendy and Dan can't even afford gravel for their aquarium.

Dance teachers in the US make 50-100 dollars an hour for private lessons. If she is talented why can she cannot do that? Im sure the studio owner makes 35-50 percent of that charge but still its a lot of money

Wendy needs a reality check. A big one. They are on such a tight budget..... AND they don't pay for health care like we do in the US.

I am really glad they finally showed a real couple...even though in poverty...but how they can overcome debt

She does not want to work. The dad is killing himself working so many jobs

She talks as if he's some stranger not the kids father.... she won't let him be involved at all in raising his own kid.

When my kids was little I would strap them on my chest. Then clean 3houses a day 5days a week , and drove the same older people to the store . (Yes before Uber) made $200 a week / $800 a month . While my husband worked in pipe fitting

Wendy the whole "my way or the highway" method rarely works.

Most people would prefer not to work of they could afford it Actions have consequences

FAMILY PLANNING. if you want to be an at home mom, make sure you can afford it first.

Wendy had Dan's number, bet she got pregnant on purpose, because she knew he'd marry her. Hope he was able to escape her, but sad for the baby, as that fool of a mother is going to screw her up.

Divorce her and go for joint custody!

This poor guy. No wonder he hides in his car

If they didn't want to listen to Gail, then why sign up for the show?

I feel like Wendy may have had some postpartum mental health struggles. This should definitely be kept in mind when looking at her reactions. PPA and PPD can show up in different ways.

She's so determined to refuse to accept reality now, and it's "only" about money. I think of what else life can hand us over time: an accident, an illness, lasting disability, a house fire or flood that leaves you with the clothes you stand in and that's all, a sudden layoff.....if you have no grit, no do-or-die spirit in you, you'll collapse. If you have grit you can survive and bounce back. You may not get the life you planned but you'll grow in love and wisdom and joy in spite of all. How has it happened that we are producing so many people who have no grit?

OMG Wendy's the worst

She needs to grow up.

he needs to run!!! i know this is old but still i hope he got out!!! the way she says my daughters it's their daughter!!

You don't quit your job, you ask for more hours. Maybe bring the baby with you.

The episode started off with Wendy saying her dad says she thinks money grows on trees… 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Their baby is 5 mths old and she is on Maternity leave?? Here in the USA she would get 6 wks! She is unbelievable..lol

Well, they didn't get the full amount but digital, professional grade digital camera is not cheap. I really hope she shows that Gail's trust in her is justified.

I don't get why people throw their cigarettes in the toilet rather than in the bin

That woman is such a brat! Where’s the love? She’s acting so entitled. Wake up. Gail knows what she’s doing. Hope they’re doing better.

Wish they had follow ups

I’ll bet he’s long gone. I cannot imagine living with somebody like her. Totally treated him with contempt. Did she ever look in the mirror? She should’ve kissed his butt every day came home. Oh my God. So I would’ve given anything to work 2 days a week and not have to pay a babysitter and have a dad home.

Gail is a saint! If I were Gail, I would have just got that camera to slap the woman (Wendy) in the face with it for her stanky attitude towards Gail.

She gave her father the same blues
