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: ceross54

   I think that inside the house, and especially in front of young children, sex talks should be fairly limited. And never so vulgar like how margaret does-- showing off her sex toys?! It's crazy. I agree she needs help.  I believe though that we all have to be open-minded about it. When the kid is no longer a kid, and is mature enough maybe he can know the "sacredness'' of sex, within a marital context. It is so precious a gift from God that it is just not so fair going about it as literally ridiculous like some people do with it.

I totally agree

Call the Cops

This is abuse.  Plain and simple. Remove the children.

Absolutely

Quote From: drendo1

I believe Margaret is bordering on legal issues, if this is a real situation.  I doubt that it is.  If it is real, I believe experts in the law should investigate.  Police and child welfare should investigate.  I noticed she chose her words carefully.  This leads me to believe there is more to the issue.  Either that or it is a set up, not a real situation, and she was prompted as what not to say.

I agree that there is clearly a call for follow up and investigation as to how true the situtation is, and if it is, then there must be legal action taken to protect the welfare of the children.  It's one thing to teach kids to have an open mind and to allow for open discussion - and another to demonstrate this kind of lifestyle and behavior on a regular basis. 

  

Either way it warrants the appropriate follow up.  We all have a responsibility to stop abuse.   

  

Make it happen.  Do the right thing!

Professional responsibility

WOW !!!   It is amazing to me that the first guests have not already been reported to Child Protective Services.  The children's teachers, principal, guidance counselor, pediatrician or another classmates parents should have reported these "parents."  In raising 4 children, believe me all children talk to their friends, teachers and others about things they hear at home. These children need psychological counseling and intervention NOW, in order to have any hope of a healthy committed sexual relationship in the future.  Being a medical professional myself, I would feel compelled to intervene for the safety of the children in this home !!    Dr. Phil don't let me down, please stand up and speak for the children in this home that apparently have not had a voice !!!!  This is not just a show topic !!!!  This is children's futures !!!!!

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

Quote From: queenz

 I don't think they would be harmed in most respects.  But they might not know what's appropriate for our society -- which is very prudish, especially regarding breastfeeding.  It's possible that they would hide from thier sexuality too much in order to rebel against thier parents -- the inverse of what the first mom was talking about.
I totally agree with you.

My father hoped to raise a good subserviant daughter who would turn in to a good subserviant wife...you know what that's a good recipe for? Turning your daughter into a liberal feminist! LOL I bet my daddy is proud now...LOLOL

social taboos

My husband taught Chemistry at the AF Academy for many years.  He also graduated from there.  His favorite word was the "F" word around the cadets.  When the girls came to the academy he told the cadets he was going to have to use a different word.  They all agreed that he should use "swim".  So of course that's what he did. 

One night he was invited to speak at a dining in for the cadets and the topic was "what life was like as a cadet many years ago".  Well he was telling them that he didn't know how to swim and they had to teach him how to swim.  With that he saw a couple of cadets in the back laughing,and he wondered what they were laughing about.  Afterwards they went up to him and said "Sir, that was the greatest coup we've ever seen"  with that he burst out laughing and told them that he was talking about actual swimming lessons for survival.  We've had a great laugh over this for years.

Sexual abuse

The so called 3 adult family with all those children, are whacked in the brain.  To show children sex toys and to talk about all the sex that goes on in the house is SEXUAL ABUSE TO THE CHILDREN!   

  

To speak with children about this in the manor that they described is sexual abuse to the children.  

At what point do they stop on the subject of sex with the children?  I didn't hear a stopping point.  I don't think that in a class in school would bring in toys and other things to explain the subject to children.   I would be outraged if any school did this.  I would consider it way over the line.   

  

The perverts that are raising those children, Shouldn't be raising these children.  Will the man stop himself from going after the 14 year old girl because he is horny?  I was shown the toys and the porn on 8 track and 8mm.  It didn't stop the man from using me as his toy to get off on.  They are pigs and shouldn't have the children in the house.   What they are doing is the beginning of sexual abuse and they should be stopped before they start using the children as toys!!!!!!!!!!!!!  To show children porn pictures of yourself is sexual abuse!!!!!!   No other way to put it.   Those children are being abused sexually and are being prepared to be used.   To show children sex toys is sexual abuse.    

  

Phil should have told it like it is and I am surprised that he didn't call it sexual abuse towards children.   

  

What's up with that?

The Three Way Family

This family is truly strange ...if their OK with all of this ...JUST wait til their kids are puttimg themselves NAKED and in SEXUAL SITUATIONS all over the INTERNET... and see where that leads. 

 YES our kids are going to see, hear and learn things BUT there is AGE APPROPRIATE information and at 14 they don't need to know about sex toys sizes , that's just crazy.  With my girls I am open too, but I do not force info on my girls ...I deal with them as they arise.  

So to you LADIES...don't be SHOCKED when you see you kids having sex or naked on top of someone of the same gender or opposite all over THEIR WEBSITE! 

GET A CLUE FOLKS

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

Quote From: grammieliz

Way to go Margaret! Why people keep SEX so secretive is beyond me.Thats what's wrong with kids today.They grow up not knowing these things and then wonder what's wrong with their relationships.
kis=ds are growing up not to respect sex and themselves. sex is not suppose to be telvised every time you have it and no 3 year old needs to be exposed to sexual acts of any kind, including the toys..................She is not a good mother/ role model
