12/09 Ask Dr. Phil & Robin
Quote From: lh2000
I think what they are trying to do is set people up for success. I try to do this for my kids but some people don’t have the support system in place to provide this. Yes they tended to reward people for making mistakes, but if you can turn these people’s life around by a simple kind act then why not? If I had the means to help people like this I would find it very gratifying.
It is true there are sometime little material rewards for doing what is right but that is not why most people do what is right in the first place.
It is really hard to judge people that appear on this show based on 30 second well edited clips of their lives. I would expect that there is generally more to the story then what is seen on TV.
So if your nieces or nephews showed up on your door step needing a place to live you would send them packing if there was not enough room in your house? Or are you saying you would let them stay but would not go looking for hand outs from others to help care for them?
Wow sometimes it makes me so sad to see people be so judgemental. Anything that Dr. Phil wants to do out of the goodness of his heart is his choice and for anyone to sit back and decide that his motivations are wrong is just sad. I wonder if jealousy doesn't play a part, are we angry because she got a tv/tivo for her short labor and you got "just" a beautiful, healthy baby. None of us knows if it was poor choice or life circumstance that put the family who got the trip and the house in the situation they were in when Dr Phil rescued them.
