[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 262512, member: 6546"] Dr. Phil's advice on parenting always leaves me a little cold because I feel like he never experienced what some families (like ours) go through. He and his wife, Robin, always say they never yelled--not even one time, they never got impatient, they never got frustrated with their children, etc. etc. etc. What???!!?? Whenever I hear them say those sorts of things, it makes me feel like I cannot relate to them at ALL because I am a human being who gets tired, angry, frustrated, and I make mistakes. How can anyone be such perfect parents all the time? So clearly, they never had to deal with a tantrum in a supermarket....or they would know how awful it would be to invite strangers to humiliate your child. Whatever little magical words they whispered in their children's ears caused [I]their [/I]kids to smile and say "[I]You're right, Mom & Dad--I guess I really don't want the sugary cereal after all[/I]....". Why not just give us ALL the magic words? :angry: --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
