(Original Air Date: 04/19/07) Some moms don’t want to grow up, and others don’t want to grow old. Dr. Phil talks to women walking on the wild side and tries to rein them back in! Aubrey says her sister, Elise, would rather drink and party every night than take care of her 8-year-old son. Their mom, Heidi, is raising Elise’s child and says Elise wants to be a parent only when it’s convenient for her. Elise promises her family that she’s going to change, but what will it take for her to get her act together? Dr. Phil has a shocking proposition for her. Then, Greg says his wife, Lisa, is obsessed with plastic surgery and worries that it’s becoming a disease. He says she works at a plastic surgeon’s office just to get a better deal on surgery. Lisa, 39, admits that she’s spent nearly $100,000 on cosmetic procedures so she can look as young as her 21-year-old daughter and wants even more work done. Can Greg convince his wife to stop going under the knife? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

Barbie Doll

Quote From: ldesjardins

I am so confused as to why someone would spend so much money on something that allows you to look so fake. I am concerned for this young lady. $100,000 dollars is alot of money to waste. It would be nice if even half of what she has spent could be donated to some type of foundation to help find cures for sick kids (such as mine). I have had 2 children and I sure do not look anything like what I did prior to having my children, and I would not change my image for anything in the world. The smiles that I give are sure real and botox compete with that!

When I was a little girl, I had a barbie doll. If I remember, with the chest it had, if she was real, she'd topple over. However, Barbie does have a nice car. So maybe its worth going through the pain for a Mercedes?

I agree with you about the botox... let my wrinkles and graying hair show age. I'd rather look old than plastic.

fact of life

I think Lisa is just an extreme expample of everyone of us. in many ways we are all trying to preserve our body.

somethings are just a fact of life...that we SEE happen. birth...old age...disease ...and death.

something that we all have to come to terms with, is that our body will age. but its not all doom and gloom if we make our happiness depend on a healthy internal state.

when we find happiness within...all the external issues will seem less important. -they wont go away...but we wont depend on fixing them for a sense of secuirty.

this was on here today (28-9-09)

I always wonder in these cases why the "mothers" aren't asked flat out -- why did you continute the pregancy?

Were they too stupid to know that they were pregnant in time to have an abortion, or did they feel that "abortion is murder" but once a child is out of the womb, then it's life doesn't count anymore.
