Quote From: lindakey Just wondering if anyone else is thinking that Dr Phil is SO wrong in rewarding bad behavior with glamorous trips and/or debt relief? Like the combined families who were trying to live in too small quarters; what does he do? Give them a trip and build them a house. Does that not tell people to go ahead and do whatever
without thinking of the consequences, and someone will come along and bail them out. (whether it be Dr Phil, the neighborhood church, or the tax payers?)
Where are the rewards for couples who are doing it right? Paying their bills - raising their kids-taking care of their parents?The idea of offering them counseling or help is good. But extravagant rewards are wasted on the (ignorent) ones who get THEMSELVES into messes.What do you think? I don't think he rewards BAD BEHAVIOUR - I think he did a very nice thing for those people and many others on his show - believe me having had problems bring up five boys years ago and some good years and bad years I would have loved to have had a "Dr. Phil" in my neighbourhood that I could have reached out to. I deserve a lot of things but unfortunately have not been so lucky to benefit and most of the time I feel good that he is able to help so many people that deserve it. Good Luck to them and Congratulations Dr.Phil I love your show and wish you had been around when I needed you. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
