When Play Dates Go Wrong | How The Other Kids Live | Episode 2

[Music] my name is piper lemony and i love eating whole lemons and once they eat six whole lemons eight-year-old piper lives in an affluent suburb of bristol with her parents ally and darren and her little sister sienna what's the best thing about being you um everything really [Music] one of these girls eats cheese while juggling milk and throwing her pet parrot off the mountain piper is a very energetic uh mischievous child i would say yeah she is she's that she's always needed lots of attention yeah quite high maintenance we would say yeah i'm saying the positives and you're saying the negatives that's a mother's prerogative i think i'm with her a lot well that's very very true darren owns his own roofing company and while sally works flexi hours as a pa she spends most of her time at home with the kids thank you they get to go swimming playing sports there's drama there's dancing their life is amazing i am yeah a little bit prone to you don't know how lucky you are i'm drawing a unicorn because i love unicorns i've been quite untouched by any great um problems though so far haven't you yeah yeah i mean they've had quite an easy ride yeah which every child should piper's going to play with two children she's never met before i think it's very important for me to meet different people from cultures and backgrounds because if the world was full of me it would be very boy because if i met someone i would say oh you look like me can you tell me a bit about myself oh that's the same as myself so it would be very boring and the world would be uninteresting first piper will be going to play at the home of eight-year-old lily who lives on a housing estate outside the town center with her mum cassie prison got in a ufo on the way to mexico eating diarrhea my relationship with lily is very close we dance we sing we think the same i think we have a very close relationship because she carried me in her belly for nine months so that's one of the things because we couldn't be closer so when i was about three my mom had a mountain biking accident she fell off her bike and now it makes her hard for her to do things these are mom's tablets and i'm just hoping around by doing lily is very helpful and considerate for instance i struggle with the stairs so when the boiler goes off um she goes up and she turns back on or she runs then she'll get my tablets for me if they're upstairs so i need these now sometimes i find it difficult to make friends because it's it's hard for me to keep that relationship up when i'm at home a lot i think lily is quite inclined to want to stay around here because then she can monitor if i'm feeling all right lily is about to host the first of three play dates with children who live nearby but have never met before it's the big okay it is a big day yeah my aspirations for her prefer to make some close friendships to lead a happy life and to follow her dreams and i'll be there supporting her back in her every step of the way and she knows that but i just really want her to pay for her own way i feel quite tired how do you feel hi ty but excited i think this play date will be important because who knows it could make your life friend like a soul mate forever um and maybe maybe a couple of maybe like an acquaintance i'm just a bit nervous thank you very much you should be fine people okay yeah butterflies in your tummy yeah any problems any worries come and talk to me i like the fact that it's so much green i think that's great yeah those are cigarettes on the floor though that's not so nice nope it's a new doorbell [Music] did you hear something that's a knock it's me doesn't it hi hello hi hi do you want to come in wow i love your ears thank you hello what's your name piper what's your name lily i like that name i'm nearly nine i know and i as well oh good so you'll have probably have a bit in common then i would have thought so also hoping to make new friends is 10 year old isis i would describe myself as an independent not follower because i just like to do my own thing [Music] we called isis isis after egyptian goddess i quite object to the terrorist group being called isis because they're not called isis that's just a name that we have made up to suit uh our to acronise in our language what what are they called isis daesh yeah sarah and i split up five years ago we have been sharing isis split down the middle ever since i had that half you have that like the top half do you know why they split up yeah but now i've learned because daddy gets angry at things that you shouldn't really get angry at like my granny cutting the bread too thick since they're split isis spends half her time at her mum's house and the other half of the hosts her dad rents i share this house with another friend of mine who has a son the same age as isis so one very non-nuclear family this is steve it's so cuddly this is sparkle because she's got sparkly eyes i feel at the moment isis lacks a best friend that's ellie she's of an age when the playground politics is odd she's so soft because i want to be an independent i think that everybody's discluding me come on daddy there was one oh i was one child she told me i felt my heart went out to her they were playing hide and seek she was really glad because that included her and she'd been hiding for ages and then when she came out she realized they were playing another game and you're just thinking oh god you could just really imagine her in the playground just waiting for them to come and find her and then looking out and realizing they weren't looking anyway come on tim and isis spend every other weekend together and will host the second play date at his but first she's going to play with piper at lilly's house do you feel in any way nervous no not really not at all i'm a tiny bit nervous a fun month wow hello hi oh girlies so i have got a little bit of a problem i've got bad memory i hit my head so if i forget your names i'm very sorry yes i've also got a problem with getting up the stairs so if you need me all you need to do is come to the top of the stairs and i'll poke my head around this bottom bit and then i can sort out any problems you got you happy this is our kitchen very cramped so you can only have two people max in here [Music] and then this is my room i could love it we could we can do my friendship bracelet diy care right should we go downstairs and do this and girls yeah so yeah guys choose like how many colors you want i have no idea how to make a friendship bracelet by the way we can just make like a little basic plaited bracelet well can i tell you my like job plan okay so it's like when i'm older i want to go to uni because i want to be a teacher so when i grow up i want to be an actress i always wanted to be an actress why do you want to be an actress because i love acting so much i've loved it all my life and i'm named after an actress as well are you what actress piper perabo i want to be an actress when i grow up because they get paid um a lot of money to be in films and and these pens these stick ones smell really this one smells like popcorn pot this one smells really nice as well what flavor is it um that is gum i think it looks a bit like candy floss on the what kind of floss is usually on this deck but anyway so i'm gonna draw my mom who do you live with i live with my mommy my daddy my little sister sienna my two cats only in bobo and my two fish and sea snails i've lived in the same house all my life but it's quite a big house so there's lots of space in it but there is four of us and pets so we need a lot of space i've got a good idea because my parents are split up i'll do it my family on one side and then my other like your mum's family and then your dad's family yeah i'm gonna do that as well that's a good idea we've already got something in common who's the boss in your houses probably my mum because she's like my brother um my mom is the boss we have something in common yet again my mum's probably the boss but my dad is a boss in a different way because he works pretty much full-time but my mom always is taking care of us [Music] they're really lovely girls really lovely okay come on let's have a little sort of picnic they're all sort of got different sort of home lives going on but they're just sort of like making sense to the world aren't they those are really funny i like it it feels like we're bffs doesn't it like i mean we are making friendship bracelets how are you doing how am i doing not too bad sat on me still okay so what things do you like uh unicorns fluffy things glitter there's you've got anything recently yeah i'm gonna go in the house i'm worried if i don't get along with them but i'm more worried if they're being a bit awkward and things yeah i don't include you maybe how would you deal with that hmm um i'm not really sure okay now when i think we need to conjoin our um super um envy power balls okay she's only eight and it's such a big situation to put her in if she's with very confident characters she can sometimes just feel like she doesn't have as much to offer are you okay what's happened what's wrong what's happening what's the matter do you miss your mom it's okay what is it just tell me what it is i just don't really feel very comfortable you really know do you wanna do not jump my mum at lily's house in bristol the girls have stopped their do you game to go into my mum and then she'll call your parent and then you can have a little speak with her yeah as eight-year-old piper has started to cry yeah get come on come on let's go get my mom think about unicorns and fluffy things and glitter yes all right guys just walking in her mom oh my darling all of a sudden what's happened did you often go away from your mum's baby um sometimes sometimes yeah lily might feel like this when she goes to one of your guys houses because she's not separated from me very often if something makes her wobble she's she's got a very emotional side if she takes a little knock in her confidence she doesn't bounce back that quickly she needs to process it she's quite a thinker so i think once she starts to feel uncertain about something she draw she pulls herself back and then she thinks about everything and then she might need some reassurance right it's so good that's it you're feeling better yes very good with cassie around for support piper is feeling more confident if you had a superpower what would it be oh hard one probably flying i already think i've got one do you know what my super power is being the greatest mom in the world oh bless you thank you very much but i wasn't going to say it not giving up i think not giving up is a real superpower in real life yeah yeah true can i tell you one way you really used it yeah i think you used it when um when you had when you broke yourself yeah um so how did you um hit your head break myself so i used to do some mountain biking isis and yeah i used to do it probably three times a week i really loved it and one day it had been raining and i okay sure i came off and um i hit all my head my neck this side of my shoulder sort of all broke up and they put it back together it's all right it's fine fine she's went into a place called chess i think that's what it's called and that's for i don't know but i'm guessing it's for people with things around their chest like so it won't be a broken ankle right you're ready are you lilz with yours yes do you work do i work no i used to be a hairdresser and i used to have my own little business um how do you earn money so i had some savings left from when i had my business so that helped us along and then otherwise you get what's called a benefit it's just basically that people are helping us all the time and they're very kind for doing that because we all get in a state like this in life everyone thinks that their life yes is difficult very difficult and sometimes when you're sad you think your life's difficult than others but actually we all have one thing in common and that one thing is that we all have problems it's the end of the first playdate hello hi over the next week isis and piper will also host at theirs how are you oh right hi piper's been enjoying the fruit salad she loves fruit she's good as gold is she's very good she missed you for a moment but then was all right once we had the the dinner and everything she was all right she was getting slightly tearful yeah but she was really brave really great hiya how's it been it's been really lonely honestly they're such a pleasure to have you thank you you're more than welcome okay guys i'm gonna walk you out bye bye we had the best time ever excellent bye thank you very much bye bye darling i'm excited for the next playdate come on then my sweet uh you were a bit worried about that weren't you yeah yeah but they're all nice yeah they're really nice excellent piper got a bit upset though because because she missed her mum i felt quite awkward because i didn't really want to play the game that they were playing because i didn't really like it but i didn't want to say because it looked like the game um lily liked it really a lot so did you find it hard at that point to join in a little bit yeah and that made you feel a bit unsettled do you think you've got two new friends yeah excellent definitely at least one new friend me and lily became really really good friends so easily because we have so much in common such as uh like her parents just split up uh-huh um piper i found was a bit shy she didn't really talk much but she just needs to come out of her shell a little more doesn't she that's all and i just wanted to say that her mum fell off a mountain when she was doing a mountain bike and now everything is much harder lily had to do lots of things for her like turn the ball away so mum couldn't really get upstairs or use her hands so she couldn't drive really and why did they have their dad um the mom and my dad broke up so it was quite a different family to our family yeah and the only thing lily would change is for her mum not to be hurt i really need my tablets lily would you go up please i i can't go any longer without him out i'm getting a migraine oh i feel like i've had to grow up quickly because you've got to sort of take care of your parent that has this like accident and you've got to learn a lot of things very quickly oh thank you my daughter i think it'd be good to have a dad because dads can be very useful and they can really help with some things that kids can't do like cook dinner for the kids but they just got put their mind to it that's what i find with boys they just got to put their mind to it and do it would you just pull that curve in slightly please this one thank you that's fine like that that's a lot better [Music] what's going to be the best thing today meeting them again because i'm really excited to meet them again the next playdate is being hosted by isis at her dad tim's house isis was the result of a um long weekend away in prague uh a cultural weekend actually we did lots of art and things like that tim and sarah split up five years ago and they've been co-parenting isis ever since tim noe lives in a shared rented home can you take your shoes off the garden's a bit muddy trying to keep things presentable for your yeah keeping up with parents isn't it you know i put the effort into cleaning the house you might not be able to tell so we want to keep it nice i think it's going to be fun um what could go wrong injury um death um extreme cases no i think i think we're okay i think we're fine [Music] i have worries for the next playdate if i don't like a game again and i get a bit upset or if it just doesn't go well because it still could not go up it's a completely different person's house lily has her worries too as she rarely leaves her mum home alone i'll go this way i love spending time with my mum but it's a bit new to me going somewhere without her it's like scary because i don't know what's gonna happen to her i don't know if she's gonna need someone to look after her or anything like that after i wasn't there when her accident happened so there might be another accident and i might not know about it i think she worries because she feels like if something happens to me then who else is there she worries about things that she shouldn't have to and i can't imagine what it's like to have that one person in your life that's looking after you um half a person sometimes you know ready to do my hair yeah wow it looks beautiful have you got a hug ready for me oh we got the biggest hug really for you right so just me goodbye lady okay little lady in bristol lily and piper are about to go and play with isis it's only the second time that they've all met bye babe have a good time but eight-year-old lily isn't used to leaving her mum stepping out of your comfort zone is a very hard thing to do but i feel like now i'm growing up i need to get used to being in the proper world doing things for myself as cassie can't drive piper's mum ali has offered lily a lift are you nervous yes what are you nervous about well just if we don't really get along you probably will get along but just in case the playdate is being hosted by isis at her dad tim's shared house when you have three kids together it's very easy for one in a in three kids to be left out so we're going to work on that aren't we isis including piper aha girls i think i can see the house [Music] coming hi hello hello hi how are you doing girls good isis has got someone she wants you to meet he is fluffy this is tom tom how are you doing i think you can see the difference in that they've met each other once before yeah this time there's three floors three stories yeah three stories beware in my room there is a sofa bed full with toys okay okay let's go let's go let's go then okay the first floor is uh these are all my flatmates uh rooms that's my dad's room voila and here's mine wow that's sort of like a book corner sort of thing since that's a core room okay guys do you want to come and make some slime yeah yeah right can you get yourself a bowl and a measuring jug oh can you remember the recipe isis yes one cup of that yeah right okay do you want to pour your pva into your bowls oh my goodness why did i wear my hair down half a teaspoon of this oh now you've all got teaspoons it's like a cross between science and cooking isn't it i'm on the top table in science yeah it's slime it's slimy brilliant yeah what's your middle name lily josephine what's your middle name uh my middle name is charlotte oh i've got friends like from charlotte's web yeah when i get married because i love my surname i'm going to ask the boy or the girl because i might marry a girl if we can go by my surname well a lot of ladies keep their surnames now yeah they can keep their surnames what i was going to do is when i got married was i was gonna borrow a man to have a baby then i'm gonna dump him i'm going to get together with my best friend marry her and i'm going to have a magic theme wedding with all the monsters from my wardrobe you unicorns and i'm gonna have a really sparkly wedding dress and those unknowns pixies trolls elves fairies pixies and cool can i be your flower girl okay this is great [Music] how often do you stay with your dad uh well it's 50 50 really because i do get to see both my parents what's it like to live with your mom and your dad i really like it because i never really want them to split up because it's um some kids are lucky that they live with their um dad and mum you didn't want us to split up did you ice this no how do you feel about your parents being a part i don't like it why not because i get i miss them the cons are i don't get to see them at the same time but the pros are they didn't argue well and sometimes over text messages actually this is incredibly useful because we the three of us have never sat down together and talked about it really no i think there's a certain inherent amount of guilt that uh we're not together but the thing is we won't tell whether it's affected isis for another 20 years you never tell until much later on can you grab yourself a canvas each put your canvas there now put your eyes about here you can see the animal there yeah but you can also draw around it wow that's amazing if you draw around the shadow as well so you don't push hard tim does a fantastic job as a dad and i think ice is really lucky that she's got him there to sort of you know hang out with as much as she does obviously it'd be better if we were all together but doesn't work out that way you've done that brilliantly oh my goodness i did i like to have a dad in my life because um dads are nice that looks great oh my goodness that does my dad doesn't live with my mom and me because shortly after i was born and my dad and my mom sort of drifted away from each other and i feel like me and my dad are slowly drifting away too but it's not nice for me and my dad to drift away because he means everything to me wow not everything but most things are you worried to lose your mom sometimes because i don't know what's going to happen to her like i was with my now when my mom had her accident so yeah are you sad that you can't see her no yeah but after all i'm having a lovely time i'm not really thinking about her yeah yeah i i mean i still miss her but i'm not really thinking about missing it everyone is in their comfort zone when they start life so it's just basically like a big square and it's got a little step in case you want to come out and when you just make that big step to whatever it is asking someone out asking to to be friends asking for someone's number whatever it is when you make that step then your whole life begins also coming out of our comfort zone is piper um are you having a nice time piper yes i'm having a really nice time you're having a better time today rather than the last time one i had a really fun time yesterday but i'm glad i'm not crying here yeah you play teachers yes you can be the teacher i'll be a teacher of your school children listen up you because you didn't guess right you have to jump on one leg for 20 seconds with both hands on your head now this isn't in real life by the way this is just the game [Music] hey hi yeah hello how you doing very good very good good hey how you doing come on in guys this is three stories wow you can sit here did i just turn the door i think i lighted up hello hiya how are you doing it's been all right it's been fine yeah yeah yeah [Music] rabbit hug bye lily [Laughter] it's been a pleasure guys bye-bye right put him in his hutch now we've got a bit of tidying up to do haven't we it was absolutely amazeballs was it yes i think that was brilliant don't you yeah tim seems really nice yeah he is lots of fun do you think piper was at all shy this time no she wasn't no she didn't seem shy at all it went really good it was so fun we did lots of fun activities so you weren't as nervous this time yeah i was nervous in the car but then when i got in i wasn't as nervous so you all played together and it there was no problems yeah well that's brilliant isn't it yeah it's the morning of the final play date and lily's been thinking about her dad i thought after the last play date sort of very like a tiny bit um and me it's about isis and her dad's relationship i want sort of that relationship with my dad yeah that's not a surprise it doesn't surprise me i noticed that you're a bit bouncing off the walls and you probably had some feelings but it's okay to have feelings in it and it's good do you talk about them with my dad not being around lots i feel like almost a part of me is gone and it always feels like i don't have a peace peace in me because i don't have a relationship with my dad but i still obviously love him with all of my heart because he's my dad it's hard to see as a parent that to see your children feel like they want and need different things that you just can't give them it's like today she's gonna go to piper's house and piper's got a mum and a dad and a sister all right do i go first i think she's probably gonna find this one maybe the hardest of all because it's that perfect family that she wants and that she's desperate for all right come on in let's go in bristol the final of three play dates is being hosted at piper's four bed house that she shares with her little sister and mum and dad right piper do you want to get the table kinda ready um is there anything you want me to do yeah help me get the snacks ready okay then i think lily and isis will think my house is very colourful there's so much rooms to get lost in and when i go outside and look at it from a view i just think wow is that my house so the order is tall pin the horn on the unicorn piper can order from the a la carte i'm gonna go get my room ready good girl piper always asks for the mocktail menu and one day hopefully they'll end up paying as well yeah in your dreams sienna i've got to brush your hair come here let me brush it please yeah no they have been quite lucky so far haven't they yeah so long may it continue that's what we want for them anyway we want that life [Music] really nice houses they are gorgeous aren't they wow lily oh girl i'm getting that dot hey paper how beautiful house you have thank you hello [Applause] wow all i can say is wow hello hello hi hello hi i'm sir nice to meet you darren hi yes nice place gonna give him a tour yes please do it go for it guys i'm ready to give you a tour right [Laughter] it's like a playroom yeah it is a playroom we play all our barbies and things and this is also our tv um like our movie room so if anyone comes for a sleepover or something we always sit on him next room yeah i love it well you've seen the living room you probably don't want to see the toilet no although it's nice this is so big so sienna's room whoa wow we've got loads of dress-up stuff this is sienna's room right yeah my room guessing this in your room whoa wow wow bunk beds it's such a cool room which one do you sleep on comparable i get to choose every night oh my goodness whoa oh well okay i think if you're ready it's food time yay beauty vegetable man beardy vegetable man there you go tuck into the vegetables i love this it's really big you guys live in like mansions i feel left out here because i don't live in my gym some people are rich and some people are poor and because basically it's just the way the earth works like i called this kind of a haunted mansion or maybe they were just born poor and i couldn't get a lot of money because of like vandalism or something like that some people live in small houses because they didn't have enough money to buy a big house i think it's true yeah some people can't afford big houses or some people have quite lots of money but they want to spend on lots of different things like maybe um really cool cars and like lobsters and things the obstacles yeah some people are poor and some people are rich but just because you live in a big house doesn't mean you are rich maybe you choose to spend a lot of money on a big house but if you have a small house it doesn't mean you're poor you might that's just what you choose but i'm planning on having i know it sounds weird but six children so i'm never gonna be able to take them to disneyland am i you might well i won't afford it you could you could end up as a billionaire money is important to me in some ways but if i would rather have a family i'd rather choose to have a family than be rich [Music] isis i know you're the costume side can i wear like one for being a princess one for being a unicorn as a grand finale to the last playdate budding actress piper has planned one last activity what shall happen first director there needs to be like a prince how about i'm the prince but then he turns into a leopard yeah coming girls do you think that the parents should all sit here and the place should be here hey i'm coming hello yeah we have a play a play so who wrote this play then all of us okay three two one outside would you care to have a dance i'd love to oh oh whoosh turn into a leopard forget about him forget about him i forget about him oh i have a new pet leopard i'm going to call him barbara bobbina oh cool that dress costs 1 million pounds turn into a human turn into a human my boyfriend i think it's good that i've met lily and piper because there is no follower there is no leader we're all independents but we all like each other oh well done wow you haven't seen the last of me piper might have a mum and dad but i've got my mum when she's dad parenting and mom parenting so she does both of those roles that was amazing girls i thought that was really impressive thank you i've got best of both worlds but just in one person i feel a bit left out because i i assist in piper have really big hymns but i only have a small one oh you're the only one with the dog and piper and sienna pretty sure they would have died they would swap this house for a dog any time that's for sure wouldn't you kids yeah okay i told you okay is that okay it's my beloved dog [Music] bye-bye nice to meet you nice to meet you and you very nice to meet you isis yeah bye-bye thank you for coming and being so good thank you very much anyone a cup of tea girls do you want peppermint tea yes please i think it was really fun and i really enjoyed hosting and playing it yeah do you think that lily and isis enjoyed themselves yes i think they really yeah knowing that lily is positive she's upbeat she's friendly she gets on with life i think that's quite a life lesson for piper to see that somebody who has it quite tough just gets on with it i think that isis and lily enjoyed playing with me today and spending time with my family and like we had known each other for ages did you actually expect to want to stay friends with these people yeah i want to be friends with these guys forever mom i think that for her to feel that she can go to other places and make friends just just like that is going to really boost and improve her confidence which is actually exactly what she needed oh my girl my girl my girl i think it is important for me to play and to be a child because i'm growing up too fast in the words of stevie wonder don't pretend to be older than you are give yourself time to grow and i love that because that's a very nice motto to have you
