04/19 Moms Gone Wild
Quote From: rhetexasDr. Phil,
It's time that family members be held responsible for the actions of other family members. WHAT you might ask? Today, the mother on the show with her daugher with the drinking problem. She keeps paying the car payments so her aged father's credit will remain good!!!! SELL the car!!! Or, donate it to charity to allow someone who can not afford a car but needs one desparately can operate the car. If she is going to pay for it anyway.
When family members can be hauled into court and held accountable for not putting up EVERY roadblock for their other family members who are unable to so for themselves -- that is when this country will begin to take a turn in the right direction.
I can tell you that the mother doesn't want to put the time and effort into her daughter. She looks tired and disgusted with her. I can understand that but it does that give her the right to throw up her hands and keep the "weapon" (great phrase by the way) in her daughter's hands? NO way!
My advise is: Mom donate the car to charity and sleep better at night. Unfortunately, the rest is up to your daughter. But at all costs take the "weapon" out of her reach -- if not for the innocent others on the road, for your grandchild's sake!
I agree..let's make family accountable. This "kid " should not have had a baby at her young age. Her parents should not have allowed her to start drinking at such a young age. She should not be allowed to exhibit the behavior she is now. She needs to be held accountable for the consequences of choices she made..good or bad. In Canada we have issues with the Young Offenders Act, no matter what the youths crime they are protected so as not to ruin their future. Make the parents come forward. They dropped the ball on raising their kids. Lets stop blaming everything else around us and start taking respondsibility for our actions...including how we raise our kids
