(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.

Lisa's boss isn't a good businessman ...

When I saw Lisa's face on the show & heard that she worked in a Plastic Surgeon's office, I remember thinking "whomever she works for is a fool just for having her present in the office."   She seems to be a nice person, but if I were to come to that surgeon's office for a consultation, seeing her face would scare me out of having anything done!  I would think that this is exactly how I don't ever, ever want to look!  It is SO OBVIOUS that she's had multiple "procedures." 

 

What would really be smart is to have someone who is "naturally" beautiful working there -- and someone who is "older" (at least 45) and "naturally beautiful."   (Lisa isn't ugly by far ... but whenever anyone looks at her face, they have to immediately think "plastic surgery patient."  And that kind of artificial look just creeps some people out!)

Looking like a 21 year old?

After watching the show I felt really sorry for the plastic surgery addict--and even more so for her husband. She may think the surgery on her face, plus the botox makes her look better. What I saw was a face that showed no expression. If she continues to get surgery, by the time she's 55 she'll look more like the product of a decent enbalming than a 20 year old.

04/19 Moms Gone Wild

Quote From: marl7900

I have a daughter (age 30) exactly as the drinking mom. She has been
pulled over various times and taken to jail, one for DUI, other's for
suspended license, no insurance, etc. My husband and I have been
raising our grandson since his birth (10 years ago). She is a pig, as
her room is unliveable. We won't allow our grandson to walk in the
upstairs bathroom it's so bad. We are at our wits-end. Everytime she
goes to jail, she calls to be bailed out. I won't talk to her, but my
husband keeps helping her. She uses her son against us, i.e., tells him
that we won't bail her out and he gets mad at us and cries. I don't
know what to do. I'm all for tough love, it's just convincing my
husband. He is now driving her to work 40 minutes day so she won't get
fired as she can't drive her car anymore.  
i dont know if you are checking back here to see any responses or not, but what I think you need to do is go to court and get legal custody of your grandson, and truthfully the only way people get help and change is when they have no choice but to do so...when they hit rock bottom...get your grandson, and kick your daughter out...let her find her own way to work, and other people to support her in her addiction...her son doesnt deserve to even be around that stuff a little bit...sometimes the only thing to do is the hardest thing to do. People have to help themselves but if you and your husband do everything for her...why would she want to change....one may say "if she loved here son she would quit doing these things" truth be told she doesnt even love herself

Todays Show

In our aera we had a judge cited for DUI and she tried to bribe the State Police to not cite her and she only got a slap on the hand. She is still sitting on the bench and is still driving.

And in 10 more years...

Quote From: rbond00

I had the show on in the livingroom as I was working in the kitchen. My 4 year old walks by and looks at the TV and comments (on the last woman with the plastic surgery addiction) "mommy there's a spooky lady on TV!" I asked her what she was talking about and she said "she has poofy hair and big lips, come look she's spooky!" I just thought it was interesting that a 4 year old would pick on up her "fake" looks too.
Good for that 4 year old!

The 'cat lady' isn't the only well known example of plastic surgery gone too far. What about the Barbie wannabe and even more famous--Michael Jackson?

PLASTIC SURGERY

Iam wondering if there aren't under lying reasons for Lisa wanting so much surgery. I seriously do think she needs to see a doctor about this. Is she that insecure that she spends a kings ranson on looks???? I pitty her poor husband. The poor man doesn't have much say so in the matter. I feel he just wants a wife who, if she wakes up some morning and doen't look the best ,it really wont bother her.  As far as her plastic surgeon goes... he should see that she needs mental help. Instead of operating on her everytime she sees, HEAVEN FORBID, something wrong with her face. Another thing I think her husband should suggest her getting a job elsewhere. With her working, at a plastic surgeons office, is just like the fox guarding the henhouse. In other words get a life.  There is nothing wrong with surgery if that is what you want but don't make it the center of your every waking moment.

Drunk Driver WILL Kill!

The thing that makes me angry is the fact this woman does not have any consideration for herself let alone her child, or the rest of us.  She and her mother should both be required to respond to a traffic crash involving a fatality.  Even to one where the victim has not been horrifically dismembered in a grizzly way.  If she does not stop her drinking and driving, she just may become a statistic that me, or one of my partners will have to respond to.

As for her mother's rationalization of paying for the car because her father is in a nursing home and may not be with us too much longer.  Give me a break!  Is he going to need a stellar credit rating in his final days?  Any major purchases coming up?  Please....  She needs to make contact with the finance company and turn that car in.  They will be glad to take it back without harrassing an old man in a nursing home.  Also, because of his age and living circumstances, the lender may not even waste their time and resources to ding his credit report.

It is terrifying for my wife to always think I may leave for work one night and some drunk may run into the back of my patrol car and kill me because they were attracted to the flashing lights.

And I think Dr. Phil allotted way too much time on his show for these two women to sit on his stage sucking up someone else's 15 minutes...

04/19 Moms Gone Wild

Quote From: danmarian

Why is everyone talking about the plastic surgery? yes, she could've and should've spent the money on her childernm but what about the lady driving drunk? maybe it just hits me harder because my family just lost two family friends because of a drunk driver. on new year's at 3:00 AM, they were driving home from a performance (Daniela was a flamenco/belly dancer and her husband, Pedro played the violin for her) and a drunk driver entered the westpark tollway (in Houston) the wrong way and ran into them. Their car flipped over and they were killed because of that. I can't go on the tollway without breaking down. It hurts so badly because had the man NOT been 3 times over the legal limit, Dani and Pedro would still be here, their family and friends wouldn't be suffering with the loss of such AMAZING, promising young people. Dani was only 22 and Pedro was 27. They'd only been married a year and a half. They had their whole lives ahead of them, and it sickens me to know their lives were stolen from them because of an idiot who decided he could drive drunk.

She was my dance teacher, my friend. He was the quiet, soft spoken violinst. He played SO beautifully, and I hate knowing that I'll never see him play again, and I'll never see her dance again.

Their familes didn't deserve this, they didn't deserve this. I can't even begin to imagine how much their familes are hurting. We're still doing our recital and at rehearsals, I've seen her mom break down and cry, I've come close to crying, my mom has... it's put this depressed mood over our studio. It's also brought us all closer together, though.

RIP DANI Y PEDRO OLIVARES

Absolutely! The mom who is drunk driving is out there 100% going to harm someone else with her actions..

My message to her would be to wake up! From what I saw you really don't care, you did not want to go to rehab, you are just giving in to what you are being told to do.

My friend and his mother and father were burned to death in the cab of their pickup truck while his two sisters watched and his father screamed for them to get his son and mother out. They had been hit by a drunk driver! Every time you get behind the wheel and drive drunk YOU KILL them again!!! YOU are a killer. you INTEND to kill someone each time you get behind the wheel drunk, you ACTIVELY decide that it is ok to kill someone.. because you know that  that IS going to happen some time..

So get off the road and wake up!

children need some guidance

I cannot believe that this woman does not care more for her child than that. All children need to grow up with positive influences in thier lives and this lady is not being a positive role model.

She made the chioce to have this child now she needs to grow up and give this baby the best of her. I hope she gets the help she needs because growing up w/o a mom is devastating and she is lucky to still be here.

i guess you could call that case proving that being a judge comes with plenty of perks.
