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.

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

Quote From: fyre98

I too get pissed off when people get down on cashiers..I worked for a year and a half at WAL MART for almost two years and had to deal with some of the rudest people I've ever seen..As for the dividers? Sometimes they don't have any at the registers! I know the ones at wal mart pretty much all went missing within the first six months of the store opening.  If there is a bar and the orders are close together I will put it down to avoid confusion..if they aren't close then I don't..Not that big a deal
I think everyone should be required to have a customer service job for 3 months in order to be an actual member of the human race. I'm not talking about some snotty little boutique either, I'm talking about a job in which you are forced to deal with the everyday public in all thier glory and horror.  People who have had jobs like this do not treat cashiers bad for the most part.

I am now a SAHM but I have been a cashier before and I have worked in a midlevel retail store for years and I too have stories that could make your blood boil.

Amen

Quote From: jettav

I think this is one of the pettiest subjects that I have ever heard of, some one just put hte thing down, who cares who does it? I have done it beofre and after my order, heck there have been times when I never put the divider down, depends on how much stuff I have. Never even gave the thing a thought til now, O, the things people argue about. Like, I tell my girls, and have even told hubby, if you are gonna fight and argue, at least find something worth the time and effort LOLLLLL.
Amen for the pettiest subject !!!!!!!! I 'd hate to be by this lady in the 12 or less checkout!!!!!  She probably counts everyone's groceries!!!!!!!!!:>)   What would she do if you had 13 items??????? :>) Will wonders never cease!!!

Warning, this post is a bit sexual

Quote From: lotofshoes

This made me sick to my stomach..!!! this sort of thing was done to me as a child i am 42 now .... it didn't help me a bit...as  a matter of FACT...it makes some Promiscuous....Ok then we have aids sexually    transmitted disease ..unwanted pregnancy Intimacy problems...the list goes on and on....Take it from some one who has been there....This is child abuse...and I pray someone saves these children before  they are so warped  or even molested ...it could happen I KNOW....
There has to be a happy medium between what these women are doing and the way I was raised. At age 21, after being married for a year or so, I felt that something was missing in my sex life, I was never told about female orgasms, and as a matter of fact SOME people told me that they were a MYTH! I ended up watching porn in order to understand exactly HOW to accomplish this "myth"...It was the only way I could figure out how to find out, cause I couldn't ask anyone I knew and I didn't think "proper christian" people would ever talk about it, so I went to the other extreme and downloaded porn!

It worked, but I would have rathered my mother just tell me about ALL my body parts and what they are for!!!!

i agree

Quote From: dgt123

I just posted a message asking you to please have those children removed from the home.  I was so shocked by how the children were being forced to live that I really wasn't thinking about their mother.  Now that I am, can you have her arrested?  Making her daughter walk around the house 2 hours nude for punishment?  Surely, that must fall under the heading of some type of abuse.
 I agree she  is a very sick person.. and should be put way for a long time.... cause making your  kid walk around nude is wrong i hope DR.PHIL turns her in. Please DR.PHIL help these kids so they can try to have a normal life... she says her kids are happy... yeah right only cause they do not know no other way of living.... dang seeing naked pics of my mom is something i hope i will never see.....  my kids will be told about sex i will answer there questions but i will not let them watch show them pics or toys.....my sex life is none of there business.... all 3 adults needs to be arrested.....

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

Quote From: erzsebet

I was angered and sickened by this woman.  I don't care how she tries to justify the way she raises her children, the bottom line is that it is still child abuse.  I can't seem to shake how much this segment affected me.  If Dr. Phil supports this womans values in any way I feel that he is imoral and I will lose all respect that I felt for him.  Don't get me wrong, I am not a bible thumper, but I do have morals and right is right and wrong is wrong...this woman is just plain sick.  If there is any justice, someone will remove these children from their nitwit parent's home before they are totally ruined.

I agree I'm so ticked off and hope DR.PHIL will read enough of the post on his show to help the kids find safety in a real home... i hope the sick  NITWIT  parents are to embarrassed to ever show there face any where... i would also lose all respect for DR.Phil if he supports her..

woman needs help

Yes America, the woman is nuts. Dr. Phil, are you nuts for entertaining this woman's notion of sexual liberality, and not calling CPS? Dr. Phil you of all people should get how a kid think and that they can't understand or handle sex until they are much older. Sex is a part of life that most Americans are perfectly comfortable with. It is a private thing, regardless of what this mother thinks. If she chooses to behave like she does, who can stop her, as long as she's not harming herself, or her cosenting ADULT cohorts. What she is doing to her kids, however is, dare I use the term, EVIL! She IS abusing those kids. Dr. Phil those kids didn't pick this wench as their ma! They could be experiecing molestation and all kinds of other things that she wouldn't tell you. Maybe you investegate your guests better than this and thing all the woman needs is a soft chiding. I honestly haven't seen today's show but I can still tell this lady is so far past the moon she's into a new lightyear. Hey Doc, you're mostly right on with what you think. Tell this lady that just because something brings you so much pleasure, that you can't just go hog wild as thiswoman does. For example, I sometimes think I would enjoy beating on folks when they enrage me. Not just feel vindicated, but enjoy it! I like the idea of pounding someone. Is that ok? If my kids are a pain one day, am I going to pound them (pause for ponder). Well if I have to answer this question, you need help. Of course you just can't do what you feel like. That's life. It's how we survive. It's how God gave us a way to live.

These people are SICK. They "talk" abut it with there children now, but what will they do next? Those sick mugs will probably show their children how or what to do. Those kids need to go away, FAR AWAY from those nast creatures. They're lucky the show doesn't post where they live because I'd call the PD myself and ltell them they make the one walk around naked, that is Sexual Harrassment.

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

Quote From: purplepain

And you can't see her words for the letters maybe. Nothing she said was in the least unreasonable!

You say nothing the previous poster said was unreasonable.  Is it unreasonable to have a 14-year old girl naked for 2 hours in the house while there is a grown man living there?  That man was not her father, he was the other woman's husband.  It is not unreasonable to show your children porn? of yourself?  It is not unreasonable to let inappropriate aged children play with sex toys?   

  

I also read your posting to the lady about the moral decline in our society.  I can see that we are not on the same page.  Lets just agree to disagree.

I'm going to have to play devils advocate here because you are getting a little over board about this.

Exactly how is seeing a picture of your mother naked harmful if it IS the way you were raised? Some countries people walk around naked all the time. Some African areas people walk around with loin clothes or less. Breasts hang out and it's the norm.

Now if these children are raised with this open sexuality as the "norm"...then how exactly are they being harmed?
