I don't care if she is 15, when it comes to taking care of her siblings, its not her responsibility. She didn't decide to have kids. She should be a child not an adult.
I know exactly how she feels I was 9 and taking care of a 7 year old and two newborns while both of my parents were using and drinking and trying to be my friend
i believe family members have to share all responcibilities in the house.including taking care of kids..she might not the mom but she is an elder and mom will need help BUT this mom forced her to be a mom.she shouldnt have to carry that weight this much when there is a mom and dad.she had to stop living like a 15 years old and forced into being an adult..unacceptable
I have 5 daughters, and I never expect my older ones to watch the younger ones, and I'm a single mom. I want my girls to enjoy their childhood to the fullest. This mom needs to wake the heck up.
I agree. I survived five daughters myself !! Ah the full moon joy. But I either paid them but their needs came first. They are the joys of my life. Now that THEY have children, they are much more supportive.
Holy shit!!! A 15-year-old says, "Mom do you need me to help with anything before I go hang out with my friends...." And then she DOES IT before she leaves because you literally ask to do shit?!?! The fact that she has the curtesy to ask her mom if she needs help SAYS everything!!!! This child is NOT a bad kid. Not in the slightest!!!
People need to stop popping out kids if they can't take care of ALL OF THEM ON THEIR OWN PERIOD! it's not a child job to take care of younger siblings because the mother can't stay off of her back. Pathetic
I was married to the love of my life, he was my best friend . After our daughter was born prematurely and struggled to survive for months, he started drinking.... and he couldn't stop. It wasn't a question, we had to leave. He is still the love of my life... but the kids came first.... I haven't seen him in over 5 years😢. This mom is going to lose her kids, plain and simple. Selfish disgrace of a mother
stay strong , you are doing great.. sometimes single parenting is safest bet. my ex altho she doesnt have drinking or drug problems, she does lie, cheat, addicted to attention on social media, ... after baby number 3 came, she lied to me making me think the baby wAS MINE, and after he was born the biological dad wanted to try n fight to see the baby.. and i had had enough, i actually kept our home, she left and i still have all 3 kids fifty fifty, we co parent and i love that little boy the same as my other daughter and son, and we have so much fun together.. their mother has tried to make me give up my rights to that child, but i wont.. i love him , and he is where he belongs.. with his older brother and his sister.. happy as a clam at high water
I applaud you for putting your children first despite having to leave a man you truly loved. That would hurt. But you did the right thing, you made the ultimate sacrifice, choice, that most people do not.
Wow she is a terrible mother. she must have fell out of a dumb tree and hit every branch on the way down so many excuses your children are in danger, girl leave this man and take care of your children. Be your mother not a lovesick schoolgirl.
She needs child protection services called and have the children removed while she sits in jail. And I take calling CPS on someone a very serious matter that should never be done without damn good reason.
I understand that it’s very difficult to love an addict. It’s something you would have to experience to understand and I don’t think Dr. Phil can ever truly grasp that part of it, however when it comes to my BABIES…. I don’t care who you are. You can go!!! My babies come first.
Yet my grandmother was handed her baby brother when she was 9. Three years later, Sister came. They both look at her as their mother rather their mother. She had to work in the fields with their father to put food on the table.
It's like an echo from me. " Why would a woman have additional children WITH A DRUNK.? " This is worse than being a single mother . She added two more babies with a drunk . I grew up with a drunk father until one day he disappeared when I was in JrHigh. He showed up again about 4 years later. Then 5 years later we were notified he had passed come get the body. I then realized that him walking away was saved my Mom from a total break down. If he was still living with us she would have left us very soon. I would never put my children in danger over my children. EVERY not even a few days. Not happening constantly how about even twice .Sorry bye bye🙋 🙋 🙋
This is the worse unfit, drama queen, lying, mother in denial I ever saw at Dr. Phill's show, I ever saw! She should be held criminally responsible! I'm just hoping that CPS and law enforcement people watches all this and they will take an action ASAP!!
The mam laughing after dropping her kid face first on concrete and left the baby in a 110° jesus christ and the poor oldest kid having to be a parent My god what a horrendous set of parents very worrying neglect
This is hard to even watch. There are women out there that aren’t able to bear children, and no doubt they would be wonderful mothers. My sister being one of them. Then…there are women like her? She doesn’t even have the decency to protect the children that she brought into this world. That is just gross! The Bible talks about unnatural affection. I feel this is what it’s talking about. Her excuses are hard to even listen to. She is putting on a show with her waterworks or tears. Nobody helps her? Who are the children for? This episode was a tough one for me to see. As for her husband…He is a selfish coward.
It was set up from the get go... Hate the mom. In my opinion they are both at fault... And husband ,sober or not, is a selfish jerk and just needs to go away. Zoloft is unsafe for persons under 18 anyway, why would they put her on it?
I know it's not about them, but what in the world did dr Phil and Robin do to their faces?! When Robin opens her mouth in shock, she looks like a Scream mask and dr Phil can hardly move his face and mouth to speak. Why do these people do this to themselves? They look awful! 😱
Sometimes parents and grand parents say the child needs to be on meds.. this sickens me, yes maybe in very particular situations maybe some ppl do need meds. But im 44 yrs old, and ive heard ' the kid needs meds excuse' more than ever these days... just seems that some parents sometimes just want the easier way out.. well turning a child into a pill popper just so parenting can be easier, .. IS NOT THE ANSWER .. Medications have very negative side affects too, long term ones..
Dr Phil, I hope you made a phone call to C.P.S. and got all these children away from these destructive parents . 😮 They won’t accept responsibility for any of their actions! Crrrrazy!!
That poor girl you can see the pain and hear the pain and her voice but she’s so mature for knowing that what’s going on is not OK and yet she puts her self aside to take care of her siblings when she shouldn’t have to that’s her mom’s job. You can tell she has a big heart I hope she does well Life.
I'm just shocked after watching an interview with Dr Phil that he's a huge Z+IO / nst supporter.. how can such an intelligent person agree with such a mindset
This woman needs to leave her husband and take care of her children. And then her stress will be over overtime over time. She will have to heal from it. Her children will have to heal from it. And I can say that because I had a husband that was similar to him. And it took me a long time to realize he was not going to change or get better and he was also in rehab. And if she's not careful, this man will turn her children into the same thing. Sorry, not sorry because I've seen it happen with my daughter and she is an adult now, with a child and she is struggling to put her life back together because of her dad, and she has to make her own decisions with how she feels about her dad and that's what's going to happen. To this woman's children and her if she's not careful, take care of your children, lady. May god be with you.... God bless....
Alcohol and drugs destroys so much. Firstly....its always someone else to blame until they themself can come to terms they have a problem. My ex still hasnt reached that point 30 years later. I do not wish him any well wishes because he caused so much physical and emotional destruction to my children and myself. The physical scars can been seen yet no one can see that the emotional damage will take a lifetime for some to heal
Do I support smoking or vaping? No. But she’s going through a lot at home and that’s how she copes. I would never do this to my kids and I would rather be a single parent than to be with a horrible husband cause that’s worse than being alone.
Also I don’t support kids being rude to their parents but her mom is not acting right and it’s more than just having a child you have to raise them right
I know this is old but how low of a woman do you have to be to blame your minor daughter for your poor choices and picking a “ winner” she wants to give her daughter the third degree but not her husband Run sweet girl and never look back and I am so sorry you have to go through this
Not sure how the daughter has found footing in his crap show and the mother is just blaming her daughter for everything. The drunk step dad is getting off with no blame. The drunk is gonna kill the baby if he's alone with baby.
That's not fair to the 15 year old teenager she's supposed to be having fun and living and going to school not being mom because her mom can't get her stuff together
It’s not your daughters responsibility to take care of everybody. You’re the adult you’re the parent and you need to get rid of your husband he’s not gonna get help. It’s time to move forward so that she could be a responsible parent you’re blaming everybody else for what’s going on it’s your husband he’s created this situation in your home.
