Topic : 06/27 Cut 'Em Off!

Hi  

I think all of us on the message board here in this post should be on the show to release our stress I bet we could help each other there what do you all here think? 

Barb 

Thank you for your comments, however, I might disagree with Matt joining a branch of the military.  I don't think I would like to know someone like Matt was to have responsibility of watching my son's back when the fighting was heavy would you.  Matt does not care about anyone but SELF.   

Any parent that does not teach their children life skills while they are young are hurt themselves, the children, and sociality.  Parents should start teaching their children as soon as the children are big enough to pick up their toys.  Then have them clean their own room as well as doing other house whole duties.  The children should earn their allowance so they will appreciate the things they have as well as respect others.  These children will grow to responsible adults. 

I had to pay my own way from the time I was 8 years old and my children started earning allowance when they were big enough to clean their own rooms.  My children grew to be even more independence than I was when I left home.  I am very proud of all four of my children for being such responsible adults.

Doctor Phil. I think being on moochers is a mistake and may cause problem aswell.  But I donot like moocher at all. But I do like you and Robin aswell.  I hope that you donot have moocher at all 

and hopfully that Jay and Jodan will not be a moocher at all. Well I had better close now. Sincerl

    If all we do as parents is raise kids so we can support them then why have kids? They deserve better than this and if you don't teach resposibility than what were you expecting? With all that is against handicapped you don't see them on the show.  Yes there are large numbers of handicapped who are ignored because there is nothing that  can be done. I was a moocher and not proud of the fact, key word was. I live in Reno on very low wages, ($640.00 a month). My family sends a few bucks here and there  and I would rather they would  let me feel like a member of the family. No I probably don't deserve it my actions in the past were of a "MOOCHER."  I have lived here in Reno my mother visits once a year for over 15 yrs .  Yes parents today are more finacially able to help their offspring only is it in their best intrest? The guest I see on your show are just the tip of a very large iceberg that has been addressed on other shows . I have not seen my daughter for 18 years and I am waiting for Dr. Phil to cover a similar story. No we are to busy with families worried about their financial legacy . Not that it isn't an important  topic only  didn't Dr. Phil write a book called "FAMILY FIRST"  

I commad you in paying your own bills and all but remember this (something i cant do) if you need help ask  you have a baby you have every right to go back home if you need help but you shouldnt have to do it all alone just to prove you canYour not .a moocher in a case like this.My ex's brother has a good paying job he makes over 12.00dollars an hour he can live on his own and live good in our area, but he wont cause he gets all paid for he throw's his pay away.. Dont get me wrong he can be a nice person if he wants to but he wouldn't even clean up the appartment when i came to visit.. there is mold on the ceiling, cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings. I couldn't breath one night ended up trying to sleep in the living room, but couldn't find anything to sit on. So, gave up and went back to the bed room and sat up all night. my ex was embarresed but nothing he could do he would clean it up and it would be messy by the time i got there.... I'm upset that he took them over me. He said he loved me but i guess he really didn't cause if he did he would still be here. But good luck with your little baby and i sure hope things work out for you in the long road.

Hi Dr Phil 

Your show today could have been about my grandson. He is 20 and he and his sister live with my husband and me. His mother died of Cancer 5 years ago and his father didn't want them. He does not work and has only 2 jobs since graduating from school two years ago. We have offered to pay for and apartment for him for a year if he gets a job and can pay all of his other bills. He always says he is looking for a job but he does not even get out of bed and leave the house until three o'clock in the afternoon. He has had a sad life but he needs yo pull himself together and I do not what else to do.
