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.

???

Is there any way we can ever know what happens to these people?  I hate to go to bed at night worrying about it.  I wish Dr Phil would post on here and let us know! LOL, if for no other reason so we could sleep a little easier knowing that a few more children were saved today!

Abuse

I have been watching Dr. Phil for years and this is the first time I have been so angered about a subject that I felt the need to write in about it. I am fairly young myself and was raised by parents whom, when I asked questions in regards to sex, were honest and open. I am thankful for that. However, What those women were doing was a very blatant form of sexual and mental abuse of those children. She has stripped them of their innocence and identity. I have no judgment against their personal choices in their adult relationships nor against her website.. she should be keeping that to herself however, showing her child (14 is still a child) pornographic pictures of herself is quite simply abusive and demeaning. If Dr. Phil and his producers have any sense of moral obligation or decency they will submit all known information to CPS and in the very least someone should interview those children. It saddens me to think of what will happen to those children as they grow up and what type of situations they will fall prey to. Dr. Phil please stand up for and protect those children, it is obvious that no one in that house is. I am wondering now why you did not ask her "What on Earth are you thinking?! What is the matter with you!?" You must know that those children's psyches are being severely damaged. Earnestly, A.L.

shopping Vigilante

Many of my friends and family members have worked as checkers in grocery stores and common courtesy is to place the separation bar down before you unload your groceries. After all there may not always be someone behind them.  Why she is getting her panties in a twist is puzzling to me. She thinks the world should follow her rules of courtesy without even asking people in the profession to see if, in fact, she may be the one not following protocol. What's so hard about putting it down herself. She's the rude one for not only refusing do it the accepted way but also because she is punishing others for not doing it "her" way. She seems like quite a control freak if you ask my opinion.

Grocery Store

I found this topid kind of odd because when I go grocery shopping I very rarely see the bar.  The stores I go to must not have very many (Inclduing large stores such as Super Wal-Mart) In that case I just wait till the people are paying for their purchase and during this time I begin to unload my cart.  This isn't taking up anyones time because the cashier can't scan as fast as I can unload and I have started unloading before they begin scanning.  Maybe this is a better alternative, mostly for situations where bars aren't present.

Potty mouth

I have to admit that I used to have a bad potty mouth until I had my son. Now that he is 14 years old I find myself having to say "please don't use that kind of language in front of me!" He says all the kids use it at school every single day. The funny thing is, that I now find that it actually embarasses me to have someone say it in public now! Anyway, when my niece was about 3 years old, she picked up a bad word and said it all the time. Well I read somewhere to make up a word and substitute it and she would pick that up instead and it worked! I used the word SNOZZELFRITZ and had her mother over react to the word and cover my mouth and tell me not to say that word ever again. This really caught my niece's attention and she picked the word up. A couple of years later, when they needed a special word to have someone besides mom or dad pick the kids up from school, guess which word we picked! Her grandmother went to pick her up one day as a surprise and my niece would not go with her because she didn't know the "magic word"! It was great. Maybe this dad should think about using funny and nonsense words. It will get chuckles instead of stares!

Are you sick??????

What is wrong with you, your children will suffer for the way you are rasing them. Hopefully the right people have seen the show and take your children away.  You are a  very disturbed person..

Grocery Store divider bars

I am a cashier in a grocery store and I completely agree with Kelly -  I get so aggravated when people think I should know when one order stops and the next one begins.  Some people actually watch me scan their items onto another person's order and then loudly tell me "that's mine".  If they would simply use the dividers the whole problem would be aleviated.  It's not like the dividers weigh 10 pounds or are hard to get to.  You go, Kelly, you can come in my line anytime you are in Orlando and come to the SouthChase Publix.

You are so right

Quote From: cookie1974

 Today's show was horrific, I honestly think those people that openly talk about sex and leave their sex toys in plain view for the children to see are monsters.  The entire time they were interviewed, I was shocked.  I had raised eyebrows and a disgusted look on my face.  I can't believe these people do such a thing.  I have 3 children and could not ever discuss my sex life or even leave "toys" lying around.  In my personal opinion, these people do not need to be parents and have these children.  I honestly think CPS should take these children away and put them in a better environment.  That lady should be ashamed of herself for making her 12 year old daughter walk around the house for 2 hours naked.  I have a 12 year old daughter and wouldn't dare do something like that.  These people do not deserve to be parents!!!!!
And I also couldn't believe that Dr. Phil's response was "This is America". What is that?  We know where we live, what we don't know is why Dr. Phil, the defender of children couldn't come back with anything other than a geographical fix.
