Admit it, you've judged people for doing things you considered inappropriate and abnormal in public. Meet Margaret, a stay-at-home mom who's tired of everyone thinking sex is taboo. She says she absolutely loves sex and she'll talk about it anytime, anywhere ... and with all of her kids. This includes showing them her sex toys, her sex swing and her X-rated Web site! But that's not all. Margaret is in a relationship with another woman, Jen, and Jen's husband. Now that she's pregnant, both women say they plan on breastfeeding the baby. Then, meet a husband who sometimes uses the F word six times in one sentence! Plus, meet three kids who think their mom dresses too sexy, and follow a woman's quest to change people's behavior in the grocery store, one shopper at a time. Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

How much sex is too much to expose kids to?

I think it's very sad and disturbing that this woman feels that by rebelling against HER own attitudes about sex she is doing her kids a big favor! She is creating such a sexually charged environment that they will not recognize dangerous sexual situations. They will think that it's okay for all people to humiliate a 12 year old by making her walk around naked as a punishment! What??? How humiliating and sad! I DO hope that someone will call protective services and remove these children. They will need lifelong help and therapy. She is a terrible mother who doesn't understand that children and adults are DIFFERENT - kids cannot understand the same things adults can. This woman feels that what "makes her happy" everyone else should just 'deal with'...even her kids. The word mother is not a description of this woman.

Is she cluless

The lady that was on the show that said that the dividers aren't put behind the groceries of the people at the store is glueless, that is not what they are meant for, they are for putting in front of your order when you put an order on the conveyer belt.  She obviously does not know what is truely for if you have ever worked in a store like that you know what they are for. Thank you.

Mgt/ & Jen

These women need serious mental help.  Dr. Phil I can't believe that you did not straighten out these women.  You were to kind, you did not give them your opinion just listened Why!!!!!  Their children should be taken away from them before they are sexually abused or become abusers.   The one said go and masterbate if you are in a bad mood.  Crazy!!  There is a place for everything and adult behavior should not be shared with their children.  They are not parents but abusers in my eyes.

What in the world

I cant believe anyone could think it is normal to show your children sex toy, pictures, and then to talk to them about it there is a time an age and a limit to what a parent should do when it comes to sex. I  can't believe that someone hasn't takin the kids away. I can deal with the multipartner but I think that having a 12 yr old girl walk around naked is sexual abuse SOME ONE SAVE THOSE KIDS!

Grocery Divider

Hi. 

  

I believe there was a missed opportunity in this segment. 

  

Although there was humor in the segment, the actions taken regarding adding things to another's order is clearly meanspirited and punishing. I wish that Dr. Phil had addressed that directly. 

  

To my knowledge there is no clearly recognized social custom related to using the divider bar in a store.  It seems to me that courtesy and respect take priority.  

  

When approaching a grocery line, I place a divider at the beginning of my order if the previous customer has not done so.  I then place a divider at the end of my order.  I also have a busy life,  but have found the act of quickly placing the dividers to be so much less time consuming than copping an attitude. 

  

Best,  

  

Bob

HEY MARGARET....PULL YOUR FREAKIN HEAD OUT!!!!!!!

The more I watch the more angry I get! You wouldn't have a daughter asking to be on b.c. if you weren't promoting sex in your house! How can you do that to your kids? They're babies still! You should be keeping your sex life completely seperate from your children! I think you're playing with fire and teatering on the sex abuse boarder line! How dare you?!

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

Quote From: kimbersue

They got what they wanted, more attention. Obviously they are not as OK with themselves as they want us to think. Why did they go on the Dr. Phil show? And, Dr. Phil, why would you pander to their sick needs? If they were really OK with what they do they wouldn't have to go on TV to shock the nation...I do believe CPS needs to take a closer look at these people.

Is Dr. Phil having trouble coming up with original show topics????? What is he thinking having these crazy 3-some people on and the lady complaining about the grocery store divider?  Wow, life's good if that is all you have to worry about!!! Find something constructive to complain about or better yet spend time helping someone less fortunate.

You have got to be kidding me!

I cannot believe this so called "family".  Since when was it ok to have 2 women in a household and have the same man?  Ok, I think what really got me was the fact that they were both going to breastfeed the baby.????????????????????????  What???????????  I pray for this country, because if this kind of stuff is going on, then what's next??  This family needs to start reading the bible and figuring out that this kind of behavior is wrong, and they also need to figure out what kind of a messed up life that their kids are going to have.  All I have to say is, I am glad that I am not them on Judgement day in front of the Lord!!!!

I WOULD CALL CPS ON THIS FAMILY ASAP!

  

This is absolutely abusive to promote and subject sick sex with underage children.  I love sex and enjoy the ____ out of it.  But this was too much for me to listen to knowing that small children....(underage) are being subjected to this. 

  

CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES IMMEDIATELY!

Grocery Order Divider

I found myself disturbed by the woman who would add items to another person's order because he or she did not use the "place between orders" bar.  All I could think about was the elderly or ill person who would have the hassle of returning an unwanted item or a person in an abusive relationship who would have to answer for coming home with an item not on the grocery list.  I think her behavior is unconscionable.  There are no rules about order dividers except the rule she has in her own head.  You are right, Dr. Phil, that she does not have enough to do.  I hope she can replace her pettiness with some compassion.
