Did you hear Dr. Phil when he was talking about the saying"when the cat's away ,the mice will play?" what do you think that means? Children should know that you are watching and that if they do something wrong there will be a punishment. It couldn't be any more simple than that. They should fear that something will happen when they do something wrong because in the real world there is a reaction to every action they take. These children were misbehaving in front of their parents and that just proves my point. People don't go around breaking laws right in front of the police. Do they? oh' yes, people with no respect and do you know where that lack for respect started? At home. See you have it backwards, you dont give your child respect hoping they will return it. You make them earn your respect by behaving in a way that makes you proud. They fear what their own bad behavior will bring them, they don't fear the parent. I am not being a bully I am being real. I will always love my babies whatever happens but I will also make sure that I am sending them down the right path.
...........................my hero. But don't expect anything from this one. All this discussion is most likely the most attention she's ever had in her life. Anything of any substance that makes sense in the real world is far removed from her realm of reality.
I love your perspective on the show though. And I wish I had thought of the police anaolgy - bravo! But again your good efforts fall on deaf ears - or blind eyes - loonylady that is.
But maybe someone else will get the point.
