Wednesday, September 25, 2024

Unemployed, unmotivated, and under your roof—family freeloaders can hurt those who love them most. In this episode, Dr. Phil meets a 28-year-old who refuses to leave his parents’ home, clashing with family members who feel exasperated by his lack of ambition.

Next, a 20-year-old man is perfectly content living with his older sister but refuses to help with chores, leaving her overwhelmed. Dr. Phil confronts his sense of entitlement and challenges him to step up.

Finally, a daughter accuses her mother of being a gold digger, creating tension that threatens their relationship. Dr. Phil examines both sides to determine whether the mother truly values money over her family—or if this is just a misunderstood perception. Tune in as Dr. Phil offers no-nonsense solutions for families coping with freeloading and conflict.
