I'm rewatching episodes on a streaming service, and in the later seasons, I'm struck by a thought. The children of some of these do gooder families are really unwilling victims. One episode showcased a family who flies to Haiti to bring water to help individuals there. They've also adopted 2 Haitian children. There is nothing wrong with this, until you see that a pipe burst in the upstairs of their home ruining it. The home insurance wasn't enough to fix the old house, so they moved into a camper. Rather than fix the house, they kept taking trips to Haiti to deliver water. I'm sorry, but if my family of five was living between a camper and a house with mold, the private plane I use for a charitable organization would be sold to fix my house. If I were their child, it would upset me that fuel costs, airplane maintenance, and other people's children were more important to mom and dad than a house with water and electricity.
