(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.

Put the gloves down please....

Quote From: txgirl1013

 AS for the comment that you are not able to determine the consequences of your actions at a young age, or before you are in your early twenties ...that is RIDICULOUS!! I am in my early twenties and it was not that long ago that I was a teen...I had girls at my high school that got pregnant young, and kids that partied and drank...but let me tell you the common thread with these kids was a SERIOUS LACK of parental involvement. I know I saw it first hand. Kids whose parents did not care where they were and what they did, they did not know their kids friends and truthfully did not want to be bothered with it anyway. I had parents that waited up for me if I was out....I had a curfew...they knew where I was and who I was with, and truthfully I never MADE the CHOICE to drink or to do drugs, because my parents taught me RIGHT from WRONG. I thought more of myself...yeah I was told "you are party pooper" "you are a nerd" I dont believe in peer pressure...I believe that if parents do not get involved in their kids lives...and set rules, that kids will fall for anything. You have to empower your kids to stand up for what is right, even if it is not popular. Parents need to wake up and be PARENTS!!!
These were not my words, as a rabid Dr. Phil fan, he has said plenty of times that comment regarding young people. I am not too sure how the quote actually went, but he said that young people, before their twenties, did not have the part of their brain that determined consequences fully developed yet. Being as this is a Dr. Phil board, I was using a Dr. Phil comment, not mine.

moms gone wild?

Quote From: bella313

   I THINK IT'S OK TO DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AS FAR AS PLASTIC SURGERY IS CONCERNED----HOWEVER----I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH WORK A WOMAN OR MAN GETS AFTER THE AGE OF FORTY, YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF LOOK"" MORE RESTED, BUT YOU CAN'T "EVER" LOOK 21 AGAIN, SO YOUR BLONDE LADY NEED TO GET A GRIP ON REALITY. !!!!.YOU CAN LOOK GOOD AT ANY AGE, WHEN YOUR IN YOUR RIGHT FRAME OF MIND.AND LOVE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE AND NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT YOUR WIFE IS LOVELY, BUT I WAS TOLD SHE DID HAVE SOME PLASTIC SURGERY DONE TO MAKE HER LOOK MORE RESTED, WHICH IS FINE, BUT I THINK SHE SHOULD ADMIT THISIF TRUE AND LET THE LADIES OF THE WORLD KNOW THE TRUTH, SO THAT THEY TOO WILL KNOW THAT IT'S OK TO DO A LITTLE SOMETHING TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK RESTED!!!WITHOUT LOOKING PLASTIC!!!. JUST A THOUGHT!!!!.............................................
 This so called mom gone wild is a nothing more than a spoiled rotten, self absorbed ,uncaring alcoholic, who is more concerned with her partying then the welfare of her son. I hope that she is put in jail for the seven day's because  I doubt she will 'EVER' stay sober, as she seems to be saying to the world what she thinks we want to hear and not what she really intends to do, and her sister seems to be well aware of this. I wll pray for her, i think she's going to need it!!!.I THINK EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE, SO I HOPE THERE WILL BE A FOLLOW UP ON HER.

drunk driver

Hello!  I just wanted to add my 2 cents to this topic.

I was awaken on October 29th at 1 a.m., by my son.  He told us that he had just been involved in a head on crash, on his way home from work to his wife and 2 1/2 yr old son.  His wife was due to deliver their 2nd child any day.

He was hit by a car that was going the wrong way on a local highway.  My husband went to the crash site and was just in wonder how our son was not injured.  The other driver was taken to the hospital.  Our son was wearing his seat belt and has bruises from the seat belt.  We had the truck (small) towed to our house.  I was in wonder as well when I saw how damage his truck was.  His little son would not go near daddy's truck.  The good news is the driver of the other car is now being arrested for his actions.

Thanks for listening to me.

04/19 Moms Gone Wild

Quote From: rhetexas

Dr. Phil,

 

It's time that family members be held responsible for the actions of other family members. WHAT you might ask? Today, the mother on the show with her daugher with the drinking problem. She keeps paying the car payments so her aged father's credit will remain good!!!! SELL the car!!! Or, donate it to charity to allow someone who can not afford a car  but needs one desparately can operate the car. If she is going to pay for it anyway.

 

When family members can be hauled into court and held accountable for not putting up EVERY roadblock for their other family members who are unable to so for themselves -- that is when this country will begin to take a turn in the right direction.

 

I can tell you that the mother doesn't want to put the time and effort into her daughter. She looks tired and disgusted with her. I can understand that but it does that give her the right to throw up her hands and keep the "weapon" (great phrase by the way) in her daughter's hands? NO way!

 

My advise is: Mom donate the car to charity and sleep better at night. Unfortunately, the rest is up to your daughter. But at all costs take the "weapon" out of her reach -- if not for the innocent others on the road, for your grandchild's sake!

 

I agree..let's make family accountable. This "kid " should not have had a baby at her young age. Her parents should not have allowed her to start drinking at such a young age. She should not be allowed to exhibit the behavior she is now. She needs to be held accountable for the consequences of choices she made..good or bad. In Canada we have issues with the Young Offenders Act, no matter what the youths crime they are protected so as not to ruin their future. Make the parents come forward. They dropped the ball on raising their kids. Lets stop blaming everything else around us and start taking respondsibility for our actions...including how we raise our kids

04/19 Moms Gone Wild

She was fourteen when he was born, she had no chance to do what others her age get to do, well at the risk of sounding heartless and mean here, WAH, if you're old enough to make and have a baby you're old enough to take RESPONSIBILITY.  Alright we know that's not true of course, and the child is lucky that his Grandmother has guardianship of him, otherwise what the hell would that child be subjected to, at four weeks he was left with God knows who, people sitting around smoking weed, and Mom was where ?  Okay if it had only been that one incident, well mistake made, no harm done learn and move on, but she wanted a child and the party lifestyle, guess what you have a child your life is DONE.  If you want to keep the young and reckless lifestyle, then the child should be given up for Adoption to a family willing to sacrfice for them, I never did understand this, a fourteen year old cannot enter into a legal agreement, and some will argue that because of brain developement they should not pay for crime for life, but for some reason people think they can raise a BABY ?  I do hope though she can straighten out, we'll see, before she kills herself or someone else.

Cosmetic surgery (shakes head ) c'mon she looked good for 39, but if she keeps up this way it won't be long before she looks older than that, she still dosen't look twenty something though, I might've said 33-35 but definitly NOT 21, her husband loves her as is she should be thankful for that.  I wonder what kind of message she's sending to her daughters though, especially the 16 year old who she said has a weight problem and would encourage her to have lipo.

plastic surgery?

Quote From: froggie1952

I agree with you 100%. Its don;t matter how young or old you are, somehow and somewhere, you will look the way you will look.  Plastic surgery, making you look younger, prettier, sexier, I don;t think so. More like a fake. If these women that have these plastic Surgery wants to look like a Manikin, so be it. It seems to me that she needs more of a reality check, or she should have her brains check.
Did not his woman ever see joan rivers and kenny rodgers?yikes, talk about nightmares!!!

I just don't understand!

I was 17 when I had my son, who is now 5 1/2, and I can't imagine a single day in these past years without him in my life.  From the moment I found out I was pregnant, everything changed.  That was it for me.  No more drinking, no more smoking, no more partying......and I would just assume this wouldn't be a difficult decision for any mother to make, and to continue with once their little life has been brought into the world.  NEVER would my son not be my FIRST priority.  I can't recall a single time when I was just itching to get out and 'party' and leave my son with someone other than me.  Why would someone NOT want to be with their child?!  I just do NOT get it, at all.  I would MUCH rather hang out with my little man, then leave him at the drop of a dime because some friends called me for a night out.  Elise said she's been hanging with a new crowd recently, in my opinion they can't be any better than the other crowd except for minus the drinking if that's even true.  She should have friends who are fully aware that she's a mother to a very handsome 8yr old boy, and understand that she has responsibilities.  Whether she wants to acknowledge them or not.  Her mother should not help to support all her awful habits in any way!  I don't doubt that she's a great grandmother to Elise's son, but there is still such a difference.  He needs his mom, and more so he needs his mom to want to be his mom.

Dr.Phil is correct when speaking about the the developmental stages of the human minds capablities differing with age.
