Topic : 07/17 Living on a Prayer

I was thinking the same thing about child protective services. Usually, Dr. Phil says something like 'my interest is in these kids and if you don't do something about this problem, I will....' How is an infant living in a house with no heat not abuse? I just wanted to shake the **** out of both of them!

  Dr Phil, This message sounds a warning.  There is a serious lack of reality being expressed in this case which could tip into outright insanity.  Get those kids to a safe haven before it is too late and he thinks the Lord is leading him to send them to heaven.  The scripture also says"let him who won't work not eat."

II Thes.3:10. He can make that choice for himself, but has no right to subject his children to his fantasies.

on how difficult it is to find a good job in this market place.  I found the show was based too much on god(this word or defination of it does not do it) so much focus on the problem and money and not enough

on practical solutions.

I would hope that after this show has aired that the child protective services steps in and removes those children. I do not understand how people can put children through what this couple has the&@&@&@& nerve do put their kids through all in the name of the "lord". If anything this couple needs to pray for some common sense!

Thankyou

This is the kind of question that you should kind of know the anwer to BEFORE you have 4 kids...I mean come on, 1 kid could have been "unplanned" but 4...and now you want to know what to do. I think you should know what kind of man you are with before you start having kids. The kids COME FIRST....millions of people work jobs every day that they is not their "passion" passion doesnt always pay the bills, and truthfully when you have kids, if you have not reached your career goals before having them, and found your passion BEFORE having them...then you are really in a FIX....You have to pay the bills provide for your kids...and if you can find your passion in themidst of that, then fine...I do not know a "college educated" couple, that gets government assistance...what kind of college, clown college...come on seriously, I am a full time student and my husband works full time, we have 2 children and we get NO assistance whatsoever....and my husband does not have a degree....maybe your husband needs to get a better paying job....and you should sure not have any more kids, until then....sorry but that is REALITY

Doesn't this community have child protective services? Doesn't anyone know the unhealthy conditions in which these children live? Where does Dan get the money for his "experiments"? They must be on welfare and food stamps, so why doesn't anyone know about the lack of heat and hot water?

It seems that this smug, self-righteous man does the only thing he can do well--get his wife pregnant. I hope we're not looking at another Andrea Yates situation here.

 

If my knowledge of ignorant self described Christians holds true his answer to Phil will be he holds true to his believe and only God can tell him what's right.  I've had enough of religious idiots and will turn the channel if he comes back at anytime with the I only listen to God routine.

Today's program brought back alot of memories and they were not good memories.My dad was an alcoholic and didn't provide for our family of 9 children so we lived with no electriciy, gas, hot water or even food alot of times. The church people did the best they could to help us but we still about starved to death.I loved my parents even when we were going through this but I come to resent them too. Dad,f or the things he did and mom, because she let him. She stayed with him no matter what because she thought she couldn't live without him.Us kids paid the price for that. Dad worked some and even had decent jobs but every Friday night he wouldn't come home from work.When he did get home sometime Saturday morning, someone had stolen his wallet??????? so of course we had no money to buy food,clothes,or pay any bills. You've heard the saying"We moved everytime the rent was due"? Well, that was a reality in our home.I married at an early age and we were determined we were going to have a home for our children and they would not have to go through the humiliation I did. That is exactly what happened. I thank God for that. It's kinda ironic now that in our 50's, we may be homeless before too long though. My husband had to go on disability in 1998 for a mistake made in the operating room at the hospital where he was having a simple
gall bladderectomy. I had a good job so we made it. Not easy but we made it. Now, my plant downsized and my job is gone. I can't find a job anywhere and I am really scared. It feels like dajavous in some ways. Not because we haven't tried. I am really having a hard time with this one though. We are 3 months behind on our house payment and no job in sight. We are raising our 2 year old grand daughter because her mommy died when she was 4 months old. I don't want her to go through anything like I did. Please kept us in your prayer. Right now, that is our only hope.

....when the breast-feeding Mom runs dry, develops an infection, eats a harmful food, has to go to the emergency room, takes a medication which is harmful to breast-fed babies or baby is allergic to her milk and needs soy or special formulas?    WHAT THEN? Can she boil drinking water for baby's safety?  Their water supply did not look sanitary to me. Will baby eat unheated, non-refrigerated baby food when the time comes? How will she store pumped breast milk if Janna goes to work?
