I agree with you

Quote From: christab

I hope someone steps in on behalf of the children and take them out of that "home" and then charge those parents with neglect and abuse.   Those parents might end up killing those children because their "God" told them they need to be saved.

 

Why are those people allowed to live like that...WITH children?

I don't know what state this family lives in but I can't believe that Child Protective Services hasn't been contacted regarding the way these children are living. They must be from the South because up North the lack of Heat would have been an immediate concern.  Or maybe they live in New Hampshire... the "Live Free or Die" state.

I feel really sad for these children.

Breastfeeding

Quote From: zimexlady

PLEASE HAVE YOUR STAFF DELIVER A COPY OF ALL THESE MESSAGE BOARD COMMENTS TO DAN AND JANNA SINCE THEY HAVE NO WAY TO OBTAIN THEM IN THEIR WORLD.   STAFF MIGHT HAVE TO READ IT TO THEM BECAUSE I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE CAPABLE OF EVEN simple READING.

PS         HOW dO THEY WARM THE BABY'S BOTTLE?

Janna could be observed several times on today's show breastfeeding her newborn baby. She was in a reclining position laying on a  couch or bed. Did you observe that? Probably not because it is so easy to breastfeed and no one will know what you are actually doing.

That is one decision I can credit them with doing. Breastfeeding is the best gift they could give that dear baby.

Therefore no need to warm up a bottle. The best food for a newborn baby...always available, always at the right temperature. ( Just too bad I saw a pacifier in the baby's mouth at one point.)

02/15 Living on a Prayer

Quote From: zimexlady

....when the breast-feeding Mom runs dry, develops an infection, eats a harmful food, has to go to the emergency room, takes a medication which is harmful to breast-fed babies or baby is allergic to her milk and needs soy or special formulas?    WHAT THEN? Can she boil drinking water for baby's safety?  Their water supply did not look sanitary to me. Will baby eat unheated, non-refrigerated baby food when the time comes? How will she store pumped breast milk if Janna goes to work?

You are making some good points here. She will then get formula from WIC program. Since they are being evicted in a matter of days...by then hopefully she will have utilities included where they go next.

Thank you for your good points and for your reply to my comment.

foster care

I pray that her parents apply to become foster care providers.  That way, when Child Protective Services ultimately removes these children from the parents, they can be cared for by the grandparents.

Have we figured out what state  they live in ?

Look at how many pages of posts there are! What a controvertial family this was. God help them.

my husband also missed our reception

Twenty years ago, Our church wedding was beautiful. My husband, Joe, and I arrived at our reception hall ready to celebrate our dream wedding. We had our first dance... we had our fruit cup...my husband got a migraine headache. At that time we did not know that it was a migraine. We only knew that my husband was vomiting about 300 times before we even got to start to enjoy our reception. Our dear friend took Joe to the emergency room. He was eventually fine, later that evening. But he missed our reception. I stayed there because we had about 120 guests who had all gathered for us. We were, thankfully, able to go on our honeymoon as scheduled.  I would love to have another reception for my husband to really enjoy.  Maybe someday we will have an anniversary party, like a 25th wedding anniversary, to celebrate. That would be a dream come true.

I hope Dr Phil gives you an anniversary cruise

Quote From: jewelsf

 I can't get over the first bride! She was such a "Witch", she got a house and a new SUV and Dr. Phil rewards her bad behavior with a fabulous wedding. Guess what? I never had my dream wedding, I got married at the court house. I never had a wedding night because my Husband had to get up at 6:00am to go to work, and I never had a honeymoon! It took 13 years to get a real wedding band and so far my Husband and I have never even been on a real vacation in over 20 years. To top it off, I always wanted to renew our vows on an Alaskan Cruise, just my and hubby and me, but unfortunately I was disabled about 8 years ago and we can't afford it. We will NEVER be able to afford it now. My 3 surgeries and lost wages ruined our credit and we struggle living paycheck to paycheck. I love my husband deeply and would never hold anything over his head to get my way. What is she going to do when real life with real problems comes into her fairy tail world? For better or Worse and in Sickness and Health. My Husband and I have stuck together through it all and it has only made us stronger. She will go screaming the other way!
Don't be sad or envious, please. Dr Phil asked at the end of the show for us to write in with our wedding stories.  I hope he reads about your hard times and is able to send you and your husband on a wedding anniversary cruise to make your dream come true.  Keep your chin up.

Great show idea for Dr Phil

Quote From: happyme2008

I vote with the "I can't believe he gave her another wedding" folks!!!   I saw it coming and dreaded it.   I guarantee you that she will continue to use his bad behavior as a sledgehammer, FOREVER!   Dr. Phil giving HER the wedding and reception will only intensify the fact that Dr. Phil is good and Husband is bad.  I, too,  would rather have seen Dr. Phil's generosity going to a more deserving couple...   How about some of the heros at Walter Reed who had hoped to come back and marry their sweethearts, but now have huge financial problems because of war injuries.  (Don't fool yourselves and think that the military covers all the expenses of our warriors--especially Reservists and National Guard!)  

 

Angela, puleeeze!!!  Personally,  I can't figure how you have enough friends to have any bridesmaids!  Good luck, darling,  you'll need it!

Wouldn't it be a wonderful show if Dr Phil could do a Memorial Day show making all the Wedding Dreams of the soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital Come True for them and their fiance.

an inspiring marriage story

Quote From: schotzie

I just watch the show about bridezilla. There is know way that she can really love the man that is to be he husband. If she did she would want to make him happy and not just herself. Then there is the money part of it also.When we got married all I wanted was to be able to spend the rest of my life with Ken I would have married him in a regular dress if that is all we could of had affored. I did have a very beautifel wedding day white dress and all. I would never have thought of putting us into debt just for one day out of our life when we would have many more to be together. I knew that GOD had put us together and there was a reason for the two of us to be together. I met my husband when I was only 15 and he had just come home from Koera. We both kknew that we were ment for each other we went together for 3 years because Ken said we would not get married until I could sign for our wedding license by myself. I finished high school and 2 weeks after I turned 18 we married. We were married for 49 years and Ken then past away from termal cancer but be have 52 years of being together and were very happy and loved each other a lot
I am sad to read that you lost your dear husband. What a beautiful love story. These bridezilla should read this as well as the bride who's husband got drunk. It is the 49 years of marriage that it is really all about. And it is standing by him and taking care of him when he is sick that makes a marriage...not a wedding. God Bless you. Hold onto your beautiful memories of your husband and your marriage.

Leave it all to your husband

I don't understand Sylvia's thinking. Isn't her current husband Sarah's father?? Or did I miss something?  The mother ought to be leaving everything to her husband unless he predeceases her.  Otherwise, why doesn't she leave a percentage to each daughter, like 60% to the younger daughter and 40% to the older daughter?  After she is dead, let the lawyer sort it out when she is gone.  The teenage daughter needs a larger share to be able to continue her education.            We haven't discussed our WILL with our daughters; but that is how it is arranged.  The spouse who survives ought to have everything left to him. Then he can set up his will that way also. If his wife, Sylvia, survives him she would inherit everything her spouse owns.  In our family we don't discuss wills, except with our spouse.

Inter-marriage makes DNA inaccurate

I think that the police / scientists trying to assign the children to their parents will find that using DNA in this group an impossible task.  I think there is so much inter-marriage within the compound that many childrens DNA will be so close to each other that DNA will be useless as a tool to asign the correct children to their parents. For example, Miss Smith marries Mr Jones. Then, Miss Smith's brother marries Mr Jones Sister. Also cousins marrying first cousins.                          Why aren't they just letting the birth mother's claim their own children?? Are they thinking that the mother's will claim more children than theirs??
