This first story reminds me of my sister so much, she lives in one of my parents rentals. She pays 300 when the rent usually goes for 750 (atleast it did 7 years ago). By the way the rental house is right next to my parents, and she is always calling them up and making them do fixes on the house. My sister even lived there for rent free for 2 years (she has been there for 7 going on 8 years now). She has 2 children, she actally takes naps during the day, she is 32 years olds. While watching this show, I told my mom I have thought about calling Dr Phil on this subject, but I know my mother woud hate me for putting this on TV, so I never did, even though I think Dr Phil could do alot of great help with this. Where the story differs is this isn't a money problem really, this is about my sister not taking charge of her life. She will not learn how to drive, and use to make my dad drive her into town, till 3 years ago when he said no more. She never thanks my mother for anything and completely disrespects our father.

I feel so sorry for this old couple that has immature children. Dr Phil is right they have to kick these adults out. There is one thing to live with your parents to get short term help, there is another to just live off of them. I feel very sorry for my parents as well, and its caused anger from me to my sister. My parents have never been able to take a vacation, because of her. My mother is scared to death that one of the children will get hurt and my sister will not know what to do. BTW my parents have 3 daughters 32, 31, and 25 (me). They are not suppose to still be taking care of kids.
