[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 507336"] Me too Kathy813 And I am not a huge Dr. Phil fan but I felt like he was unnecessarily harsh on this poor mom. She wanted to bring her daughter clean clothes for the intervention. Apparently her daughter had been wearing the same pair of mens jeans and a filthy shirt for over a week. He blasted her. He also blasted her for reimbursing her difficult child's friend (who was down and out but clean) for some grocery money that he had spent on difficult child. I totally would've brought my kid clean clothes. And reimbursed the friend I don't think men get it sometimes. I housed this child in my BODY for crying out loud - and I don't draw a distinction for an adopted child - and I think the same instinct that makes a mother nurture her embryo is the same instinct that makes us want to see them have clean clothes and food. And I think this instinct is triggered in any mother - regardless of how or when she became her child's mother. I think it's part of the trigger that keeps us from abandoning our young. And i would probably fall for it again. and again... [/QUOTE]
