Great Job

I thought Phil did a great job of doing the only thing he could do and that was pretend to reason with an unreasonable adult girl.

 

She was stopped at 16.  Great.

 

By 18 it is her choice. 

 

And her plea of 'I didn't know anything about Palestine, Muslim, Middle East,.  I don't believe.  If she is on the internet she knows how to Google..

 

And just from the little I've read, Muslims consider most American girls in the same vernacular as her boyfriend calls her.  And she has proved it by being there, hasn't she?

 

But on the other hand there are many of the same drama's being played out in the US.

Cause and ...

I think Katherine caused all this.  I

 see no reason to feel sorry for her. 

This post will probably be culled as  usual but it's my opinion and I'm entited to it.

Why are we now calling our children, children until they are 35? 

I'm so sick of watching all the family fiasco's, of adult 'children'.

 

She was of legal age, had years to learn his culture and even tolerated his abuse on the phone.  This was just good tv.  Not a viable case. 

 

I'm betting she still stays in touch with him,  just for the drama!

 

I totally understand her Mother saying she has even lost conciousness over it,  but I can say she's gotta let it go for eberyone else's sake.

11/15 A Daughter in Danger? Part 2

Why does no one hold Katherine responsible? 

 

She knew exactly what she was doing.

 

She was even no orphan, and had support.

10/10 Troubled Teen Love

Quote From: jenbenito

Ok...I was so annoyed by this show.  Both by those two kids who havent grown up, and also by Dr. Phil!  Almost every single time he talked about teen parents he said how they never are responsible and how grandparents are the ones who will be raising the babies.  I was 17 when I got pregnate with my first baby.  My husband and I got married before I even graduated high school.  That was 6 years and 3 babies later!!  I have three kids, have never ONCE been on welfare and still have an amazing career of my own.  Yes it was a hardship when we started.  But we got through it.  Never ONCE did my parents/in laws "raise" my children!  We did everything we needed to do to make sure our kids had a good life. 

I get so annoyed when I hear people always catigorizing teen parents!  I was a teen parent and I got through it!  Probably better than people 10-15 years older than me did!  Dr. Phil was just really bugging me when he kept catigorizing everything.  Not ALL teen parents are losers and irrisponsible.  There are still some out there who yes make mistakes, but they live up to their responsiblities and do their best to make things right!

I'm clapping for you and know exactly where you are coming from.

I'maturity has no definate age.

And I will go out on a limb here and say it's a lot easier to pick a mate if you're not 30 years old with a long list of criteria.:)

40 years and counting:)

10/10 Troubled Teen Love

Quote From: annie7860

I became a widow in 2001.  My husband and I had set down rules to be followed and of course children don't always listen.  The winter of 2001 my youngest son came to me to tell me that he and his girlfriend were pregnant.  I was devastated.  Nowing at this time I was helpless they decided to go to the courthouse and got married.  Two weeks before my son informed me of the situation he had gone to "San Diego" to a church retreat (so I thought) and after telling me that she was pregnant he then informed me that he had gone to "San Diego" to join the "NAVY".  Too make a long story short, My son has been to IRAQ 3 times seeing things i would not wish on anyone.  HIs wife has graduated from college has a job as a Social Worker with C.P.S.  They have 2 beautiful little girls and 'THE FAMILY" are very proud of them.  I completely understand this is not the normal, but lets praise the ones who have made it.  Now they have been married almost 6 years and my son will start college in January.
Oh Annie, congratulations to your family!  And thank your son for me.

1 More Yellow Ribbon

I am wondering....how out of touch am I?

 

My Mother (Navy), my Father (Air Force), my Uncles (Army,Marines, Navy), my Cousins (Army), my Aunts (Navy), my Grandfathers (Army), and last but not least my Husband (Army) have all been in Wars.

 

But they were not, did not,  portray 'how pitiful' they were for having to leave!  Nor did we make the children feel bad because of it.  I feel so sorry for all thses kids being made to feel so bad cause their Father is gone.  it's all in the perception.

 

I think America must need to get a grip and stop all the whinning.
