Dr. Phil,
I am sick and tired of people blaming their ill mannered selfish children on the world. It is not some rapper, music artist, doll, or any person out of your home fault that your child is a good for nothing trashcan. It is your fault as the parent that your child is totally messed up. It is no one else’s fault that your child isn’t aware of the rights and wrongs in life, because it is the mother and father’s responsibly to see to it that their child enter the world a good sight, and not a blemish to be placed in solid brick walls of a prison.
You have once again managed to totally angrier me, because the one person on your show who spoke as a true parent and mother, is the very one you really didn’t listen too. She said what I said that if you do not buy the clothes, or allow the clothes and behavior in your home. Then the child can’t wear them. If you show you child in behavior and self-manner that this is the way a woman behaves in public. Then your daughter will do as you do.
As for the woman and her discussion of the male and female mind. Let me remind her that it is not women’s fault on how men think and act. To say that a woman’s dress is the reason for sexual thoughts. Is to say that a woman who has been raped is the woman’s fault. No it is not. Rape has not a dang thing to do with clothes, manner, or anything but the fact that that he or she wanted power over someone, and they took it.
I am 31 years old, and no one tells me how dress. No one has that right since I turned 18 years old, and the woman who thought she should have that right should have used that right when the behavior first became a sight. She should not have allowed it when the child was 10 or 11 years old. When the girl was in the 8th grade dressing as she does now. That’s when she should have been taking a stand. Not when the girl is now a woman with a job. She lost the time and right. So she should do as she did when she should have been speaking. Just SHUT UP!!! And leave her daughter alone.
