“There has also been direct violence”

Jukka Hildén, HP ParviainenJarppi Leppälä and Jarno Laasala, more commonly known as the Duudsons, travel to Finnish homes to get to know the everyday life and activities of families Dnewbies came to the house in the program.

In the first episode of the program, we visit the Pitkälä family in Haukiputaa. What makes the family special is that it includes no less than 10 children.

Mikko Pitkälä, the father of the family, has asked the Duudsons for help with his children’s gambling problem. At the beginning of the visit, the Duudsons take the father to discuss the family’s pain points, and soon the family’s real problems are revealed to them.

– There is a lot on the shoulders. So there’s a lot on your shoulders, Mikko opens.

Mikko tells the Duudsons that he lost his own father when he was 7 years old. This has had a significant impact on his own role as a father.

Mikko says that there has also been violence in the family.

– I’ve been a hell of a ragehead, who has been nervous from zero to a hundred about the smallest thing; the milk can has fallen on the table, so there is a guy flying into the room with a neck-butt-grab. Then there has also been direct violence. This is one of the biggest things, the guilt as a father, Mikko says.

Mikko thought that he would make up for his behavior to the children with the Duudsons’ visit.

– Have you ever apologized in such a way that it feels like it? Jukka Hildén asks.

– I would like to, but I don’t know if I can, Mikko answers.

Hildén states to the camera that the children must have the opportunity to hear an apology from their father.

– I think our task tomorrow is also that this family is really alert and serious, says Jarno Laasala.

– That they listen when, for once, father has the most important thing in life to say, Hildé sums up.
