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.

Are you kidding?

For real?  This mom with the kids who she's "teaching" about sex, is appauling!!
She gets off on this......there is  NO reason that any child need be punished with nudity.....that IS abuse.   Mom is angry about  her upbringing which is understandable, but she will make these kids hate theirs too with that treatment.....if my mom made me be naked for voicing an rude or unfavorable comment, my arse would be OUTTA there!!

And "teaching" them?  Teaching them what?  How to identify an exhibitionist?.....a control problem?....that MASTURBATION can cure all woes?  C'MON!  I teach my children the proper names for thing on and in hteir bodies.  They know how and where babies come from.  They DO NOT listen to me have sex, see pics of it, or get told to go masturbate.

HOW is this not abuse?  How is it not worthy of serious intervention?  I have has CPS called on me for a bottle under a crib with yucky milk in it.....and for too much laundry piled on my floor.....


Shame on her.....

I so agree with that

This is abuse.  Plain and simple. Remove the children.
 I can not believe how ignorant this woman is.  Dr Phil should have been harder on her than he was.  And her children should be taken from her for sexual and mental abuse

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

Quote From: stepmomusa

Margaret didn't come on this show to fix or change anything...if anything she came on to continue to clamor for the attention she clearly is desperately seeking. She has some major issues regarding boundaries, feelings of self-worth and adequacy as a human. All her sexual bravado serves as a poor mask for this. There's nothing wrong with sex between consenting adults, but to bring your children into yor sex life via toys, chairs, allowing them to view pornography, forcing them to be nude as punishment, qualifies as sexual abuse. And yes, I work in child welfare and sexual abuse specific issues are my area of expertise. 

  

Margaret desperately needs professional intervention. 

  ''She has some major issues regarding boundaries, feelings of self-worth and adequacy as a human. All her sexual bravado serves as a poor mask for this. '' 

  

You Could not have said it better. I wanted to say the same in my post, but since I am not from this country I did not know how to express these exact thoughts.

Easy on Margaret

 I hesitate to say this because obviously I am not Dr Phil :P  I think he was "easy on"  Margaret because there was no point in his talking to her.  In my view, the ONLY reason she was on the show was to defend herself and her lifestyle.  If you watched the show, you could see that when he asked her to consider his points, she was rolling her eyes and was totally defiant.  It was like he was her dad and she was being punished.  I hope that CPS at the very least calls her...maybe that will wake  her up to the harm she is causing.  I doubt it though because she didn't even listen to Dr. Phil!

Report Child Abuse

I agree. This should be reported to authorities. I trust that Dr. Phil will do the right thing.

Not even slightly close to normal

Is this normal?? That is the question??  My 4 yr old has more brains than those ridulously warped women and pathetic excuse for a husband-whatever his name is. I was blown away that those two women-esp. Maragret could sit up there and actually justify their actions. I am not "anti-gag "or anti anything for that matter. Actually what a person does in their own PRIVACY is their own business but when they subject innocent children to their perverse way of thinking is just sickening. Let me ask-what if it was 2 "gay" men with a woman and bragging about  doing it doggy style, and showing the kids their whips/chains...then would the social services step in?? This is not just about sex...there is alot more here at issue. Maragret seemed to take pleasure at humilating the young 14 yr old about masterbating. She is not letting then "discover" things on their own-she is doing everything in her power to steer then in her way of thinking. They are not in  

no way "parenting". Where is the coping mechanisms if they actually think masterbation will solve life's stressors. Where is the nuturing, protection of the family if they are subjesting the kids to humilation-which is what maragret deliberating did by telling her friends that was what she was doing....Lordy there are so many issues at hand. This in short is a sex cult. If there is such a thing. I have never thought abt it before but everything here is so delliberate, and methodical. So is there anything against a family orgy??  Disgusting is what it is-I hope family protection seriously lookis into this..and i hope there is something they can do....

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.
  way to go???? OK you need help too.... i have discussed sex with my daughter me and my husband.... we covered all we felt she needed to know we answered her questions... but we did not and will not show her toys.... tell her to go play with herself.... or show her naked pics of any one..... i do not give a rats @zzzzzz  to tell her all men have a different size.... or that it is OK for 2 woman to be together.... it is one thing to talk to your kids but to play show and tell......nasty. or make your kid walk around naked.....i have no want or desire to see my kids naked.... you must have missed  something.... she shows her kids porn.... sex toys.... and naked pics of herself... tells her daughters friend she is masturbating....and that is OK to you???? geese i wonder how you would have liked your mom doing that to you? then you have to go to school and know that all your friends know what your mom said.  and did you miss the part where she plans on Brest feeding another womens baby? are you OK with that to??????  i will talk to and answer my kids questions any time they need me to but i will never show them or allow them to see porn. man I'm so sick of  nasty nasty ways of thinking

LADY SHOPPER

I used to work retail and this lady with her attitude on just the divider and puts things in other peoples orders because they don't put a divider up has got to be nuts. Putting a divider up is not one of the things in the world that need to be changed. She ought to think about the cashier also since she is ignorantly adding things to people's orders that they don't know and when they get home and find it guess who gets the phone call and has to listen to the customer complain and it may not be the cashiers fault. I am a front end supervisor and service desk and I'm the person that one of the people that she plays the stunt on-yea I'm the one who has to listen to the customer get rude then about the item adding on and calling the cashier names and believe me they will report it and here it wouldn't even be the cashiers fault but they'd called up on the carpet for it and possibly written up. Wonder if she ever thought about that. Wonder if her ridiculous and ignorant actions have cost anyone a job. I got one for her why don't she try being a cashier for a day then maybe she will see how ignorant she is being. I'd love to see someone catch her doing that and rip her down.

Get a life!

Hey Kelly, you need to find better things to do with your time besides being the shopping police.  Most of us can stay alert long enough to know what we're buying at the grocery store and what the next person is buying.  Second istead of setting such a bad example by putting your things in someones elses order, why don't   you do the right thing and put the bar up yourself. It's called common courtesy which you more than enyone seem to lack.  People like yourself need to learn what's important in life and believe me it's not the grocery divider.

04/07 Social Taboos: Is This Normal?

I have another comment for the wife in this situation, WHY do you want to share your husband with another woman? And where was the husband today. I do have a sick feeling for those precious children in this situation, they are the ones who will be hurt in the long run here. I was a bit disappointed that Dr. Phil didn't really state a position on this situation. I trust he will take the appropriate steps and get these children to a really safe home and family. I think it may be time for an intervension of a different kind here.
