YOU ARE RIGHT!!!
Quote From: twox2mns0After I heard Dr. Phils' durogatory comments about teenage pregnancy and trailer living I sat there with my mouth hanging open.
My mother lived in a trailer community for years, after retiring, and she was very happy in that lifestyle. She was alone, on a fixed income, and wanted to live independently in what she could afford. She also felt completely secure in her surroundings because everyone looked out for one another.
I have two daughters, each left with two babies to raise, (not as teenagers, but as young women) and they have been incredibly strong and responsible in raising their children. Unfortunately, their relationships did not work out for them, but no one can fault them for not trying to keep their families together.
I was disappointed in Dr. Phils' grandstanding and lack of humility on this particular show.
I make 75,000 a year and my husband makes about the same. We live in what you would consider an upper class neighborhood. HOWEVER, I have tons of friends that live in trailers and have some or no children. And never ever ever would I call them trailer park trash!! Dr. Phil has lost all of my respect with that comment! I have deleted my DVR scheduled recordings of his show this week. Maybe when Dog gets back on the air, I will watch Dr. Phil again.
