Replies to '04/18 Ask Dr. Phil and Robin'

I have encountered the some of the same comments from people and I always tell them they are appropriately dressed for their age and that if I ever for one moment thought it was inappropriate or damaged their self esteem, I wouldn't do it.  On the flip side of the coin, a month ago at church a mother brought her little 2 year old in with a suit, bow tie, and wing tip shoes.  I bet on that day I heard more comments about how silly her little boy looked!    

I also hate when strangers (and some friends/relatives) make comments about other people's children (outside of obvious abuse). But here you seem to jump to the defense of your own tastes and then be quick to critique or find amusement in someone else's tastes.  

I was REALLY disappointed with Dr Phil and Robins support,  I really thought they would be more open minded about this than they were.    

The show was called Ask Dr. Phil and Robin.....Cristi asked, she got an answer. Dr. Phil is pretty quick to say "Don't substitute my judgment for your own", but if someone asks for an opinion, they get what they get. I don't think it's fair to call someone closed-minded simply because their opinion differs with your own.  

Way to go and to stand your ground, don't ever for one  moment question yourself.  

That's fine to say to say about all the posters, but what about her husband? I gather from Christi's post that this issue is hardly tearing apart their marriage, but it was important enough for her to write in to the show. It certainly isn't MY place to tell her how to dress her child, but don't you think her husband's concerns deserve some consideration?
