Topic : 03/27 "Get Your Act Together!"

This first story reminds me of my sister so much, she lives in one of my parents rentals. She pays 300 when the rent usually goes for 750 (atleast it did 7 years ago). By the way the rental house is right next to my parents, and she is always calling them up and making them do fixes on the house. My sister even lived there for rent free for 2 years (she has been there for 7 going on 8 years now). She has 2 children, she actally takes naps during the day, she is 32 years olds. While watching this show, I told my mom I have thought about calling Dr Phil on this subject, but I know my mother woud hate me for putting this on TV, so I never did, even though I think Dr Phil could do alot of great help with this. Where the story differs is this isn't a money problem really, this is about my sister not taking charge of her life. She will not learn how to drive, and use to make my dad drive her into town, till 3 years ago when he said no more. She never thanks my mother for anything and completely disrespects our father.

I feel so sorry for this old couple that has immature children. Dr Phil is right they have to kick these adults out. There is one thing to live with your parents to get short term help, there is another to just live off of them. I feel very sorry for my parents as well, and its caused anger from me to my sister. My parents have never been able to take a vacation, because of her. My mother is scared to death that one of the children will get hurt and my sister will not know what to do. BTW my parents have 3 daughters 32, 31, and 25 (me). They are not suppose to still be taking care of kids.

AA to Al-a non and help the 'guy' who opened the red sea to free his people too*

I swear I have a stomach that has bled on this one many times and I am on so many medications for a stomach that STOPPED digesting, I might as well give up food all together because the food does not stay down long.

Boy 34, lives far away and travels world wide.. BUT, when times were bad the kid would call and I would pay all his cell phone bills that ranged from 80-5oo a at a time. When asked to send him to choir camp fro the summer through a well known school on the east coast.. I sent him for 1000.00 and when he turned 30 years old and told me he did not need me anymore and that he found someone to pay his rent , he was happy and has not called me again. He is now 34 years of age.

Kid 2. deserted her kids 7 years ago because of gang activity, heavy drug use and had enough crap on her to make any mom have a heart attack. I got cusody of the children until they turn 18. At that time they were 1 1/2 and age 7. She beat the baby and badly effected the lil boy emotionally. Foe the next 5 years after that we really thought for sure she was dead. She was not and we had her put into treatment for the 15th time since she was 13. She has lived with us now for 2 years and it is time for her to go because she is a disaster again and yells at me all the time in front of the boys. LOUD and the cursing is horrible. If I had a calculalator the price of the children are 'PRICELESS' her expenses in many drug treatments and all the hell she has put all of us through is partly PRICELESS and worth thousands and thousands dollars.

I am worried that some day she will come back and blow my brains out. She will too.

My younger son came back home 3-4 times untill he was 27 uears old and finally has a really good gaming job and is successful not mean and actually paid off to allow him home.

My step daughter only calls for when she needs money and has never sent my husband one picture of either of his grand-daughter.

My bio-mother protected my younger sister for years . My kid sister lived at home until she was 31 and never worked. She sold dope and my real mom would filter the money through an acct ..

My brother was just as horrid.

I left/ran away from home when I was 14 years old and never ever went back. I went back to school and I raised 3 kids all by myself with one dad and later on many marriages.

Should kids leave?

If they are activily going to college and getting their lives going, NO!

Working to improve their young lives, NO.

Sitting around and making your life hell. NO!

Get rid of the grown kid and make them grow up fast!

Believe this hurts you incredibly bad because some fight and scream and cry as if they were 12-16 years old.. I know .

Those lazy men need to get the hell out of the house and get a taste of life. I wouldn't stand for anything like that taking place in my home. Especially when there is absolutely no respect for the person who is paying the bills in the house. Go to the court house and get an eviction notice and serve it on their lazy butts and they will have to go. That stupid guy who had a good job and started selling drugs to inmates at the prison where he worked deserves to be homeless. He sure didn't use what little brain he must have when he did that. His wife should divorce him and get on with her life. He is nothing but trouble. What is he thinking saying $8.00 an hour isn't enough? No it really isn't enough in this day and age, but ya gotta start someplace. What does he expect a high paying job, when he is a felon? Then acting as though that apartment is partly his, because every now and then he goes out and buys groceries and is paying his way. Come on, get real you stupid no good piece of crap. And the other guy at the end of the show....Dr. Phil where do you dig these people up? I'd be ashamed to come on a national TV show if I was that dense. Who would hire that guy anyway? They both are losers. Too bad we don't have the draft anymore. That is where boys learn how to be real men., in the service. Can't go crying to mama then. Hey Lazy Boy, did ya ever think about our men and women in the service who are fighting for YOUR freedom. Just how much do you think they make per hour? You two are sorry specimens of men.

Look at what that one guy is teaching his little boy.......NOTHING ONLY HOW TO BE A LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING TAKING UP SPACE ON THE EARTH AND NOT CARING WHO IS PAYING FOR HIM TO EAT AND HAVE A ROOF OVER HIS HEAD. BOTH OF THESE LITTLE BOYS SHOULD REALLY BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. There is nothing wrong with the wife wanting to stay home and take care of her little boy, but when you need to help out, you need to get out there and get a job too.
