    #1 - Tsironis Family

    S2:E10

    When Elizabeth and Bob Tsironis' twin boys, Teddy and Nicholas, were born, they only weighed a pound each. They beat the odds to become healthy, strong, three-year-olds, but their parents are so grateful that their miracle twins survived, they completely spoil the rambunctious toddlers. Nicholas even has a broken leg from Teddy pushing him off the bed! Meantime, big sister Kate, four, is sometimes overshadowed by her brothers' pandemonium. She copes by compulsively lying about painful foot cramps to get attention -- everything stops in the household when she is "stricken." She also manages to have the twins get blamed for her own misbehavior, but her parents have no idea they are being duped.

    #2 - Krolikowski Family

    S4:E21

    Shannon and John both have high profile jobs at a large church, but their home is a far cry from a peaceful sanctuary. All four of their children fight with each other so viciously and so frequently that mom usually intervenes only if someone has drawn blood. That happens regularly because the kids bite, pinch, kick and pull hair for all they're worth. Mom's yelling isn't working, and Dad says he spanks to discipline, since he doesn't believe that timeouts or talking work. But in spite of the hardline tactics, neither parent has much authority.

    S5:E4

    Chiropractor David often acts like a big kid, laughing at the kids' antics even when they cross the line, and leaving Gina, a personal trainer, to referee on her own. She admits, "We are at a total loss." 14-year-old Casey, who is a wrestler at school, is very physically and verbally aggressive at home with his siblings and parents. He punches, shoves and hits, and has a bullying style, whether dealing with his big sister, Cally, 16, or younger sibs Corey, 10 or Carli, 9. All of the children swear like sailors and refuse to do chores, stubbornly saying that they're not paid enough per chore! Gina admits that she doesn't enjoy being around her kids, and husband David erupts in nervous laughter whenever the children defy him. His physical horseplay with Casey results in Dad getting injured, but he laughs it off, to Jo's amazement.
