Quote From: ramairHow much effort has your friend made to keep her son from getting out of control when he was young enough that she had more influence over him? Maybe she's tried, all his life, to keep him under control. But, then again, maybe not. Dr Phil's had so many parents of out-of-control kids ranging from three to 17. And, except for a few with heavy metal toxicty-based behavior issues, most of them received no kind of disciplinary guidance during their formative early childhood. Unless the parents intervene, out-of-control toddlers become out-of-control teens. Who become out-of-control adults. And, part of the prison populstion. I see so many parents come whining to Dr Phil about their disrepectful teens. Usually because they didn't nip this disrespect in the bud, when their kids were toddlers. When they admit what they've let these kids get away with all their lives, I think duh! This little girl on today's show (Sydney sp?) is running the whole f---ing show at her house. Snooping through her mom & dad's things, even those that are locked up??? These two parents may not be anything to write home about, but my kids know better to go through mine and my husband's things!! And if they ever did, they would be in serious trouble! As far as her complaining her mom is out late and there's no one to 'watch her,' she is 12 for crying out loud! When I was 12 I was babysitting! And she apparently thinks 12 is old enough to send naked pictures to her boyfriend, but not old enough to babysit her siblings? Or be home by herself? Wow, this whole thing totally blew my mind. Dr. Phil is way way off on this one.
