(Original Air Date: 09/12/07) Affairs, fights, lies and dark secrets are tearing a family apart. Brandon and Amy have been married for 2 1/2 years and have three children. One year into their marriage, Brandon was caught having an affair with their teenage nanny. Was she the only one, or did he cheat with others? The couple's tumultuous relationship reached a breaking point when Amy, who said she feared for her life, obtained a restraining order against Brandon. What led him to file divorce papers? Then, five months into the proceedings, their relationship reignited. Why did Amy let Brandon back into her life? Amy's parents and her ex-best friend, Heidi, say Amy's heading down the road to disaster. So why do they doubt Brandon's recent revelations? And, why does Brandon say Amy's ruining his reputation? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: nightangel1282

He was sleeping with the TEENAGE nanny??? Isn't that... against the law down there in the States? Wouldn't that be classified as statutory rape? (Hm... guess I'll have to wait for the show to get the answers to THOSE questions...)

Anyway, I say once a cheater, always a cheater. I wouldn't bother with him. Of course, there are kids in the equation as well, and that would complicate things significantly wouldn't it? Hmmm.... Looking forward to seeing this one!!

She was 18 at the time. Here in Oregon, she is legal!

And why not give him the chance to change his life? Don't we ALL need second chances in our lifes? I think so.....

NANNY AFFAIR

Quote From: mariozlady23

First of all..this post was WAY too long for a message board! UGH. and secondly, you are one of those "friends" that has NO LIFE. Get your own life. Being a good friend goes far enough as to YES, give your opinion. And to not encourage things that you dont agree with SURE...BUT...there are fine lines people shouldnt cross, such as becoming the authority in SOMEONE ELSE'S MARRAIGE! ITs not your business to tell someone what they should or shouldnt do, or about how they feel. People learn by doing, not by being told. Yes i agree that friends should give good advice and give their opinions, but thats it. Give to your friend the advice, and let them go with it as they choose. DONT be overbearing and forcefull. Heidi comes across as a woman who seems like shed rather see HERSELF with AMY then let Brandon be with her. Give me a break! Even Parents shouldnt be that way.

YOU 'RE SUPPOSE TO PREVIEW THESEMESSAGES BEFORE YO U SEND THESE IN AND MAYBE IN YOUR CASE SLEEP ON IT... LET BRANDON BE WITH HER? YIKES!

I HOPE YOU WATCH THURS. EPISODE FROM THE PREVIEWS.

ALL BUT THE GRACE OF GOD GO ALL OF US...

SINCERELY,

NANCYTS

Goodbye Heidi

Heidi is way to involved in their marriage. They have enought to work out. She needs to shut up and move on. This marriage may not have a chance, but with her in the picture that is for certain. The husband and wife need to take time time to see if, with his counseling, they can continue for the children. But Heidi needs to GO.

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

I don't think that Brandon is a bad person. I do think that Heidi needs to mind her own business. I realize that she cares about her friend and if she cares as much as she says she does, then she should just butt out and let Brandon and Amy work things out themselves. I also think Brandon is seeking some sort of professional help and that is a real starting point. I wish him the best of luck and hope that he can make his marriage work. I know that if I hadn't given my husband a chance over 16 years ago that we wouldn't be married today for 23 years. We decided together to make our marriage work. I hope that these two can do that too.

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: jbutler70

So...there's something to be said for a friend who "has your back." There's something else entirely to be said for this meddling/overbearing "best friend". She obviously needs to get a life. I was shocked that Dr. Phil allowed her to be the gossiping/meddling friend and treat her like an expert. Last I knew, a marriage was still between 2 people.

The "handsome firefighter" needs to have a hose put on himself. He's obviously not worth the chair he's sitting in. And why this ex-wife/mom is just sitting there being a party to it is beyond me. Take some control over your life. Boot them both out and do what's best for the kids.

Yeap...kids, Ladies. We're the mother and they depend on us. Love is beautiful and you should give it to someone who deserve it. Stand up and try to fix the mess no matter how hard it's for you. Teach people to respect you including your own husband. For me cheating is about lying and direspectful.You don't let another women made "a big mess" around your kids and in your own house. That's too much. For me personally, I might not be able to forgive and forget easily if my husband do that to me and our kids.

Teenage Nanny

Quote From: nightangel1282

Nightangel1282

Hello Dr. Phil, Wanted to make a couple comments about this so called man, He must be blind, The red head, I didn't catch her name. She is Beautiful, as good looking or even better looking than his wife, who is also very attractive. If he didn't make a move on the red head, I'd say he wasn't telling the truth. I've seen his type and the name I would give him is cheater. Just dosn't want to admit it. His wife should just dump him and find a good man. Is the red head available, I'm interested, Love the long red hair, Very Sexy. Thanks,Have a good day, AL

On The Nanny Affair, Part 1.

I watched the show this afternoon. I do not believe that Brandon is being open about everything.
Neither do I believe that Am,y is too sure of herself on the matter. Unless something turns up to chage my mind, I believe that this couple should call it quits.

Nanny Affair

I am not sure what to say about the couple yet....I want to watch part 2 first...but Heidi....you need to step back.....

You seem jealous of your friend...this is between husband and wife....there are kids involved...

You need to be a friend...someone who listens and gives her opinion , when asked for....

If he is even on the show...it is possible he really does want help and wants to change....

will comment more later

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

There are always two sides to a story and there is a family involved here. I would like to see them work it out for the sake of the family. The couple have serious issues. I don't think the husband is being honest and without honesty the marriage doesn't stand a chance. Hiedi may be adding fuel to the fire but the husband is immature, and I don't think he understands consequences.

Amy's Got To GO

Dr. Phil... I don't know if this marriage stands a chance but if Heidi is in the picture, they have NO chance. She needs to go away and leave them alone. If he is indeed in counseling, they need to focus on that and have NO outside influence. If they decide the marriage will not work, it should be without Amy's influence. She needs to mind her own business and stay OUT of their lives.
