No More Mooching! I’ve Been Laid Off

Wednesday, January 22, 2025

As the economy struggles, many Americans are feeling the pinch, and Dr. Phil’s guests are no exception.

They’re stretched thin, without extra cash to spare, and frustrated that they’re still supporting grown children who refuse to pull their own weight. With bills piling up, these parents are at their breaking point, unsure how to say “enough” to the adult kids they love.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Phil examines how financial support can quickly turn into enabling. One family wrestles with a son who’s been laid off and shows no motivation to seek new opportunities, while another worries that continually bailing out a daughter only reinforces her dependence. Dr. Phil challenges both the parents and their adult children to set boundaries, encouraging each side to take responsibility and find sustainable solutions.

Tune in for candid discussions, tough love, and practical advice on preserving relationships—and bank accounts. Check your local listings for airtime.
