Topic : 08/13 Babysitter Gone Bad

I think she may have been smiling because she was nervous or because she was high or because she was trying to make people like her.  She seems to use lightheartedness and humor to deflect even the most serious of situations, like when she was chuckling off her boyfriend's stabbing her.

I don't think she was smug or arrogant.  I think her self-esteem was in the gutter.

Although now that I think about it, arrogance and low self-esteem usually walk hand in hand.

What other kid? that was her Hubby!!! lol, mommys looking to turn back time, she didn't like it when boy toy hubby said he knew Steph. first, HMMMMMMMMMMMM, sounded alittle jealous

Apparently you were not watching very closely, what about her sons that she was pouring a drink for in the kitchen?"

Those kids!

I don't know what show you were watching but I don't know where you got this information about the father knowing Steph. first?   The Father left the household when she was two.

Please explain?  Your post does not make any sense.

I believe who this person is referring to is Kim's 26 year old husband with which Stephanie claimed to have known before her mom ever met him...this DID seem to bother Kim as she was trying to justify it was o.k. for her to be married to a 26 year old who by first impression to me seems no better than the rest of them...

Stephanie's father was not part of that aspect of the show...he was only on the show via phone and no picture images were shown of him as far as i can remember...

First of all did Stephanie think she was safe just because those children she was responsible for?  I mean come on, what if a fire had broken out or just one of those children had quit breathing?  Would Stephanie have been alert enough to save their lives?  I think not!  Things can go bad so quick in a situation like this, and when emergencies happen they require the responsible party to be able to think in a clear and rationale mind, and Stephanie definitely wasn't in that state of mind, because she was in a drug fog!  I wonder just how bad Stephanie would have felt if an emergency would have happened with one of those children, and this child had died because of Stephanie's fogged up state of mind!  Better yet, what if Stephanie would have had to tell the parents that one of their children had died, due to her fogged up state of mind!!!  When you take on the responsibility of watching some one's children, people need to remember that emergencies can happen quick, and when they do happen you need to be able to respond at a moment's notice.  If I was the parent of one of those children Stephanie was watching, I wouldn't have paid her for that night because she was only thinking of herself when she took those medicines, and those parents might have lost one of their children's lives.  If my child would have gotten hurt or God forbid, one of those children had died I think that I would be the first one to help send her up the river for murder, for the rest of her life!

I further feel that her mother isn't in touch with reality either.  What was she thinking when she gave Stephanie those drinks, and sniffing cocaine with her daughter!!!  I really liked what Dr. Phil said to this mother which was; "you mean to tell me that some one grabbed your hair, forced her face down on that table and made you sniff that cocaine"?  People seem to be really be good at blaming some one else for their problems.  It's just like Dr. Phil said to Stephanie's mom; "you must really be in denial"!!!  I realize that Stephanie's grown up now and needs to take responsibility for what she does, but to me her mother isn't fit to be a mother to any one!!!  Grow up Stephanie and learn to take responsibility for your own actions, because for every action taken in life, there's always a reaction or a consequence of some kind!!!

In my opinion first of all those little children are going to feel deeply sad, because some one whom they thought so much of isn't in their lives anymore.  Children can't comprehend on the same level as adults do, so I think that they'll feel very confused and betrayed -and probably never trust anybody again in their lives!!!  Stephanie better thank her lucky stars or God that things didn't get any worse than they did???  After seeing this show, I think that parents should think long and hard before asking Stephanie to ever babysit for them again, because she's definitely proved that she can't be trusted!!!
