I think you just love to argue your point. Which is probably why you were chosen to go on this particular show. They needed a debater and boy! they sure found one in you! tehe If nothing else, I think you are an amazing example of what the doc calls a right fighter.
It seems this whole board has gone off into "im a better mom then you are". I thought to perhaps lesson the heat here, I would end the argument over who is the worse mom in the world. So everyone, listen up! I have got some examples for you! :)
First off, I didnt breatsfeed. No good reason for it. I even knew it was better for all three of my children. I chose not to breastfeed out of sheer selfishness. I was sick and tired of sharing my body and the thought of sharing one more day was more then I could bear. Now I ask ya... how is that for horrid mom??
How about this? The other day I had been up most the night and I allowed my 7 year old to go to school on a breakfast consisting of a brownie simply cus I was too tired to fuss about it. *gasp* As well as, the majority of time I give in to him and cook him mashed potatoes for breakfast. Can you even believe it? I know... its shocking, eh?
Or how about all the times my older ones are angry over some thing that happend during the day and when telling me about it they curse and I allow it? Someone call the bad mother police RIGHT NOW!
Lets see... what else? I allow the lil one to play in the woods unsupervised. I allow them to watch tv when eating dinner. At least once(more often then not twice) a week I make them fend for themselves at dinnertime. Usually its packaged alfredo they settle for. Disgusting to me, but hey! They like it so yep! I let them eat it. They ride their bikes in the street. They back talk. They fuss over their chores and I just let them(course, they are getting them done while fussing but still... how dare I allow such behavior?) OH! Heres a good one! When they were babies of 3 months I went against all the doctors advice and actually put rice cereal in their bottles so they would sleep longer. OMG! Doesent that just say it all?
So moms, no need to worry over who is right and who is wrong. Who is better and who is worse. I think my examples prove I take the cake on the bad mom award. You all think its possible to start pulling together now as women and mothers instead of continuing these ridiculous bantering posts?
Well... hope springs eternal! :D
Dr. Phil and his guests strike up heated conversations as they debate the latest hot topics. Should women give up their right to breastfeed their babies in public so other people don't feel uncomfortable? Will passing out condoms in schools prevent unwanted pregnancies or just send the message to kids that it's OK to have sex? And, is it acceptable for others to discipline your kids if they see them acting out in public, or should they just mind their own business? Dr. Phil weighs in on these controversial subjects.
