Full House: S7E4: Tough Love (Jesse & Becky: The Next Chapter: New Parents Series)

Happy Full House Friday, Angela Bowen, here the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm covering the next episode in the Jesse & Becky: The Next Chapter: New Parents Series, Full House S7E4: Tough Love, which aired on October 5, 1993. In this episode Nicky and Alex's behavior gets out of hand when Becky and Jesse can't bring themselves to discipline them; when Jesse finally puts his foot down he starts to regret it after the boys call him 'mean daddy'. I enjoyed this episode, Jesse and Becky come to the realization that their twin toddlers are out of control and in reality they should have been disciplining them a while ago instead of waiting till they were two and are wreaking havoc in the Tanner home. Vicki's monthly visit to see Danny leads her to opt out of going to a restaurant with all 10 of them and instead volunteering her services to cook for everyone in the Tanner home. Now, what Vicki makes is probably her staple diet with goat cheese pizza and pesto spaghetti (I actually wouldn't mind trying the pesto thing). Danny warns her that his daughter's palates haven't evolved yet and they turn their nose up at anything that isn't chicken, hamburger or pizza (regular pizza) ya know, kid pleaser staples. In fear of Vicki's feelings being hurt, he pays off Stephanie and Michelle in advance(DJ and friends are left to tough it out the hard way, I guess),which in the end he just insults Vicki by doing, along with Steph and Michelle making jokes about the goat cheese and actually wiping off the pesto spaghetti with a napkin (removing said pesto, leaving a plain noodle). After destroying Michelle's solar system diorama and causing a ruckus at dinner Jesse and Becky finally agree they have to put their foot down and punish the boys. Well, actually Becky has Jesse do it and report back to her. Bottom line, it couldn't be avoided any longer. Jesse loses his temper and the boys turn on him calling him "mean daddy". Becky tells him he did the right thing by following through punishing them, after she catches him trying to sneak dessert up to them. They both realize the boys need limits and rules to grow up to became good upstanding gentleman or two college dropouts who run a fish taco truck (see Fuller House Season 1 for example). Join me next week when I cover the final episode in the series with Full House S7E12: Support Your Local Parents, which aired on November 30, 1993. in this episode Jesse and Becky are concerned that Nicky and Alex won't socialize with other kids, and attend a parent support group. In the meantime, Stephanie and Michelle learn D.J. has received a traffic ticket and request full access to her wardrobe or they'll tell Danny.
