(Original Air Date: 01/25/06) Have you ever found yourself in a bizarre situation? Do you think the people around you are acting unusual, and you want to know why? Dr. Phil helps his guests distinguish what's normal and what's not. First up, Lynette doesn't think it's normal for her 78-year-old father, Forrest, to want to be a country music star. Forrest feels like his daughter is discriminating against him because he's old. Then, Suzie says her husband, Steve, won't get rid of the family dog -- even though it recently bit their baby girl in the face, and she had to be rushed to the hospital! Steve wants to know if he's crazy for wanting the dog back in the house. Plus, a guest says she's able to see into the future and wants to know if she should alert her friends to the visions she has about them. Share your thoughts.

03/30 Is This Normal?

Quote From: soccerfan

I am a mom to two beautiful kids and I have two dogs as well. I understand why Steve is having a hard time being separated from his dogs. He's had these dogs for a long time and it must be very difficult for him to just give the dogs up. I agree with Steve that the wife should have been more careful and could have prevented this tragedy from occurring. I never let my young daughter near the dogs without my constant supervision, and I make sure that she is never put in a situation where the dogs feel threatened or scared by her. That is MY JOB as a parent--to protect my daughter. It's so sad that so many people are saying that a dog who bites needs to be killed/abandoned by the family. It was NOT the dog's fault--he was acting on his own instinct. The mother should have been more careful. Our kids are put in "danger" every day, by being in cars, playing at playgrounds, etc. We can't shield them from everything and keep them living in a bubble. But we have to ensure that they are safe by supervising them. If the wife understood anything about dogs, especially deaf dogs, she would have known that letting her daughter jump off her lap and startle the dog from behind would be a huge mistake. Steve: I hope that you are still able to see you dogs frequently, and please make sure that they find a good home. Don't just abandon them.

I guess I don't understand. When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter one of my first thoughts was, will my cat and a new baby mix? My cat is moody. And I told my husband, one lunge at our baby and the cat is gone!

Luckily the cat and my daughter have a tight relationship that I'm not really a part of...LOL...but I can't understand a bond with a dog or cat being something that would even make me THINK of keeping them after something like this.

I'm not saying kill the dog, but OBVIOUSLY, a deaf jumpy dog is a bad idea around a toddler! Give the dog to a family with out kids if it's such a great dog. JMO

Am I normal?

Just wondering if it's normal for me to always assume a man is going to hurt me one way or another. Every man I meet I automatically assume he's no good. No matter who he's with, whether it's someone I'm in a relationship with, someone in my family/friend, or just a friend of mine. I just feel like no man is worth my complete trust. Is this normal?

Am I normal?

I was just wondering if it's normal to think all men will hurt? No matter what, any man that comes into my life, I automatically think that he's going to hurt me or someone in my life that I care about. Ever since I can remember men are nothing but liars who are only out to hurt women. Do you think it may have something to do with the abuse I endured as a young child and continued through adulthood? (Not by the same person, but numerous men.) Can someone please tell me if this normal. Thank you.

I wouldn't say so...not at all.

I had a friend like that and she ended up dating my brother for a couple years. She said that every man beats his wife, every man with out exception. I was shocked by this, she also said that every man cheats.

That is not normal, I hope you find something to help you with that cause men are cool. Some of my best friends have been men and my husband is one of the best people I know.

No, they're not especially out to hurt you per say, They just llike to lie a lot. Some lie because they cheat, some lie because they need to out do a story someone else has told. Some lie because they are perverts, and think they're pulling the wool over the mothers eyes. The least harmful, I think are the ones who just lie to out do another story. Like the fish stories. They do get tiring though.

03/30 Is This Normal?

Quote From: clegs104

I'm 19 years old. Alot of people say that I am old for my age in the way that I act and the things I do. My family is very supportive of me in everything I do and I come from a loving and "normal" home with a "normal" childhood.
The thing that I was wondering whether it is normal or not, is that I am totally and completely obsessed with an old highschool teacher I used to have. He's relatively young and we had a very close (to the point of kissing eachother on a regular basis) friendship. In my opinion we never did anything innappropriate.. even though he is married... but when we were together we were always alone. Is it normal to have this kind of relationship with a teacher considering my maturity level?
We dont' see eachother much anymore because he is at a different school, but I dream about him all the time and find myself driving past his house when I'm bored...... He even told me he loved me once.

Part of me thinks that this is bad.. but alot of me likes him and values him..... malicious intent or genuine concern?

No, and you know it. He could be fired

ya well it wasnt supposted to go there

Quote From: hulahands

Molestation and a dog bite are two totally diiferent things. I was molested and would never compare the two. My dog bit my daughter. My daughter today is a dog handler dog rescuer and has two dogs of her own. One dog does not spoil the love of animals if you have the right parent teaching you about life, mistakes and forgiveness. Her scars remind her of a mistake I made that she forgave me for, not the dog.
