Viewing family life on Dr. Phil...

Quote From: purplepain

...If you get your idea about what having kids and parenting is all about by watching the oddities that Dr Phil finds, then you have it all wrong. Dr Phil finds the most extreme cases because it makes good TV and also because his advice on these bad cases can help people with less dramatic problems.

Most of us parents aren't this screwed up. It's completely possible to raise children the right way with out getting so out of control you end up on day time TV..believe it or not! LOL

It's cool if you don't kids, live and let live I say, but don't think this show reflects the average american family.
doesn't make me eager to get married nor have children!  :-D

I got my idea of parenting by dating for years (briefly being engaged to) a custodial father.  It was a real education, believe me.  Not just his over-indulgent over-parenting, but that of every parent of his kids' friends...  It's absolutely pandemic today.  I admit I want a life of my own, so no thank you...
