05/08 Is this Marriage Really Over?

Quote From: abcteach123

I can't believe that someone would think that an affair and bitter divorce wouldn't have an effect on the children. I am a middle school teacher and I can tell you from experience that divorce has more of effect on children than most other family problems. A child's life is torn apart. Everything they knew and were comfortable with changes. I can say that many times with a child of divorce that they need a teacher as 2nd parent because one of theirs isn't always present. They tend to be insecure and strive for adult attention. Many overcome these problems but it is not through parent ignorance!
 I think you give an interesting point...to come from someone who is a teacher....thanks! You really have a good idea of what happens, so great to see it through your eyes!

09/09 Make It or Break It!

Quote From: karlabrindza

Sorry but I just dont understan why man or people get married...when you say your vowls it should mean something special to the person but this days it means nothing...is a shame that this is happening!! what are we teaching our kids? that mirrage is a joke?

I am in total agreement! Because ppl want to have a wedding not a marriage (or have a fantasy of what marriage is). I feel the vows aren't even really listened to  at the ceremony ya know?

YES!

Quote From: jewelsf

When I use my phone for texting there are additional charges involved. Because of this I rarely ever text and only receive them when I have to or don't have any control over who sends one. Am I missing something here? Can you rack up over 1000 texts in one month without having a huge bill? And sending photos also includes an additional charge per use. Are there plans where all of this is free or with only a small one time monthly fee? If not, then why do parents allow this to happen and have to pay a huge cell bill on top of not knowing what your child is up to? Another option is to have this service discontinued on the plan and then the children can't get into this kind of trouble. Personally I can live quite well without ever having to text. I've removed all of these additional services from my own plan because I don't want to pay for the extra charges. Cell phone bills are high enough as it is after they tack on all of the taxes, surcharges, etc.
That's exactly what i was thinking too! Ok, maybe not a psychological problem but a real problem if parents are paying these bills! Also, the fact that she thinks this is funny is so disrespectful!
I have done the same thing, taking things off my plan like that. I kept texting but took off the plan of unlimited weekends because it got me into the habit and then i just continued into my paying time. I am living fine without all of it too!

And what, preytell, is wrong with taking away cell for good??? So what if she is mad at you? We (As i'm a parent as well) are not their friends! We are their parents. Dr. Phil, totally disappointed in your response to this one.

Also to the person who was commenting on how he repeats shows...I KNOW!!! I've noticed it too! And Oprah is doing the same thing. I'm noticing myself deleting many days (i tape) because of this.

01/27 Crazy Teen Trends

Quote From: zellersgsg

i'm completely baffled by children 'needing' cell phones.  i'm a grown woman i wouldn't classify a cell phone as a 'need'.  can some one give me a relatively valid reason for a kid having a cell phone?  especially those of middle school age or lower?

I wish i could give you a reason but i can't....
Seriously, you are right, there is no need whatsoever. This is a societal problem with parents. I've said no to my daughter who's 4 plenty of times. And as any parent knows, when a kid throws a tantrum, it isn't fun nor is it easy. But guess what? I've gotten through it. Kid wants phone? IF you say yes, set rules and give only basic abilities. No texting and pay as you go. But tell them only one card per month rather than every time they run out of minutes they get new one. That's where i ran into trouble (as an adult mind u).

Parents: SET LIMITS!! Who cares if they get mad and say that their friends all have. You know what you say? "So?" That's it. That's all. Enough of this pampering to children. You parents like that make us normal ones have a more difficult time than we need to have. I'm so sick of this! UGH!

01/27 Crazy Teen Trends

Quote From: murphyslaw2

What is wrong with the people in our world anymore? Have they forgot who the parent is and how to parent? For god's sake that  is a 12 year old, who bought the phone & pays the flipping bill? Duh, it is the parent and they have the control or should!!! Buy a phone with out a camera!! Do not include texting in phone package of options you pay for!! And if you can't then take the damn thing away, YOU are the parent be fricken resposable.

 

I hear and see so many things I think are just so WRONG on so MANY levels in the society we live in today it makes me sick at times. I personally feel that is what is so WRONG with society today is parents are not allowed to discipline their child/chilren it is deemed as child abuse. I can tell you only once did my daughter ever threaten to call the police on me for child abuse and I told her here go for it if you really want to find out the difference between discipline and child abouse and handed her the phone. She didn't call!

Hehehe. i agree. But i'm laughing cuz i said the same thing to my mom when i was a kid and she did the same thing you did and i responded the same way your daughter did! Funny! GREAT parenting, kudos!

Quote From: susanbee47

ANYTHING SHORT OF CASH, IS NOT REALLY WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR, NEITHER IS ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T STROKE HER EGO.

 

DOESN'T ANYONE REMEMBER SHE WHO IS CLUELESS, SAYING SHE WANTED A REALITY SHOW WHERE SHE DEMONSTRATES THAT SHE IS A PARENTING EXPERT. lolol, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

I DO GET IT NOW THOUGH: HER MOTHER AND THE DAYCARE ARE CARING FOR THE KIDS, EVERYONE ELSE IS PAYING, AND SHE HASNT WORKED FOR 9 YEARS IN HER YOUNG LIFE.

 

MY GOD, DDOESN'T THAT TELL IT ALL?? WHY IS ANYONE WONDERING ABOUT ANGELS IN WAITING BEING TURNED DOWN--SHE COULDN'T GET THE CASH, OR ATTENTION, OR APPLAUSE, OR THE STAR TREATMENT. HEAVEN FORBID, SHE'D HAVE BEEN STUCK TAKING CARE OF SOMEONE BESIDES HERSELF!!!

 

SHE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE IN A MIRROR BUT HERSELF. YELLING AT HER MOTHER ABOUT THE EMBRYOS BEING "ALLOWED TO LIVE FIRST, THEN KILLED"???? It makes me want to pray furiously to GOD, when was so much love spent on an few cells.

 

I don't mean to hurt anyone who truly believes life begins at conception.....but honestly, lots of things are alive. We eat some of them. We kill some on our kitchen counters, on our hands, and with ever better drugs. Who's to say human life is soooo much better and more worthy?? 

 

You know what is ugly, heart surgery, but we do it. War!! We do it for a greater good. We make hard choices every day, it's part of the grown-up real world. Of course some don't want to deal with reality but that's the way it is.

 

Those cells, were not going to be getting up all by themselves and walking away if she let them, and they weren't going to be crying out in pain if defrosted, and allowed to expire. 

 

She thinks "how many people do that?" , when referring to parents "being present" for their children. It would appear to be the pot calling kettle black--she's spent very little time with any of her children over the past 6 months at least. Remember she was bedridden for months prior to the devlivery of the 8 babies. They've all been in daycare for years-according to her-and they have speech and OT therapists. Come on.....who's present in their lives??

 

She's got so many immature and infantile understandings of what real life is all about it's frightenging to think of her in charge of anything.

 

I'm not arguing adoption like some, they are still legally hers afterall, but someone has GOT to step in and get a guardian for each and every child. They all deserve that. Then Medi-Cal, and SSI, and foodstamps, all need to step in and collect their rightful share of that money she is trying to collect, or already has from various media outlets. 

 

It does without saying but I sure hope Dr. Phil is NOT paying her in cash or in kind.

wow, you argue so so well. I couldn't agree more and i couldn't have said it better myself.
And i thought that about the embryos too! What about the fact that you are freezing embryos right?? So if you think it's life and they are babies then wouldn't that be freezing babies and cruel in itself????? OMG these ppl drive me nuts!
Nadya is crazy. And she's selfish not only when it comes to her kids but her parents as well. Her dad is 67! Instead of retiring the poor guy must now go back overseas and work 'til the day he dies. And what will she do when her parents die? I think there is definitely something very wrong mentally because her parents seem very matter-of-fact and straight with her. They aren't there to defend her they say the truth of what is going on. The poor mom...she's just exhausted.
The reason Nadya is so out of it and thinks this whole thing is a cake walk is because she isn't taking care of her kids, it's her parents!
And why did she say it's so hard for her to give up control and accept help (about a gazillion times)? All she has is help. She hasn't gone @ this alone at all!

wrong

Quote From: meryl55

dear dr phil. . . . i saw you on larry king last night - it seems you are running this ocotomom thing to the ground - possibly for your own shows ratings??? anyway - it would be nice if you focused on the real problem here . . . that there are many, many - millions - of "moms" just ilke her - the ocotomom. . . i.e. the welfare mothers who continue to have child after child because - like the ocotomom - they do not have to worry about housing, utilities, food or medical care like everyone else.  this needs to stop and the government needs to quit enabling these woman to continue to breed like a rabbits.  they have no work ethic,, they could care less about their childs success in school (because why do their children need an education if at 18 you can get pregnant and get everything paid for).  it is a very serious problem and someone who is in the public eye needs to bring this to the attention of the government becuse they do not listen to the "little people."  wouldn't it be nice if we could all have as many children as we wanted and not have to worry about the costs? that is what perpetual welfare mothers do.
With all due respect to you, you have gotten this wrong! Yes, some ppl abuse the system. But welfare doesn't provide much money. It's just enough for the down-right basics and even then it's not enough at times. I am Canadian and our system changed a bit in regards to working and welfare. Now, to encourage ppl not to stay on welfare they can work part-time so they can get work experience and then eventually get off welfare completely.
Anyway, i understand your frustration, but many of these mom's are on welfare because they were left by their spouses...what are they supposed to do? Amend the system yes. Scrap it? No!

I agree

Quote From: fillieb

I must agree. The latest in the paper today is that she refused free help from Gloria Alreds group because she wants to do a REALITY SHOW with those children she's supposed to love!!!! ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE LISTENING? THE GIRL IS A SCAM ARTIST. SENDING MONEY TO HER IS LIKE FUELING A FIRE.
It occured to me...ya know, even Charlie Sheen was responsible enough to say he absolutely did NOT want his kids on his ex's show. He fought like hell to make sure they weren't on. So she is completely irresponsible. It is all about her.
And that frantic call thing? I was thinking it was something about the babies. Of course not, it was about her. Shame on you Dr. Phil. You scammed us too, tearing at our heartstrings. You KNEW that's how we'd interpret what you said, SHAME!
