Dr Phil: Moms Who Hate Their Own Children

nikietc wrote: I think it's more than just being a naturally unfit parent. A lot of the problem is that parenthood is idealized and people don't know just what they're getting into. Pregnancy is the riskiest thing many women will experience in their lives and both mother and child surviving pregnancy and labor healthy is a miracle in and of itself. There's no guarantee that anyone is going to have a 100% healthy child, and even if they do, you can't predict the child's personality. I don't think any of these women set out to hate their children, but they really weren't ready like they thought they were. Just because you have money or a husband doesn't mean you should have kids.

This is so true..

I have a special needs child and I love him so much...I'm obsessed with him.  He is my everything.
There are some frustrating times but nothing has never, ever gotten me to the point of being frustrated with him.  But I have a lot of patience when it comes to children.  Some of these mothers lack patience and in that case, adapting a prayer life may help.

They need to take that child.  She said if she had a gun she would kill them both. I wanted to beat the sh*t out of this lady for suggesting her parenting style was the afrocentric way of raising children.

it hurt my heart when she said 'it's different with a black child' referring to how you have to discipline children. I really felt for her daughter.

Purp, yeah.. I figure any place is better than being with that bitch. Did you notice how when Dr. Phil asked who hurt her, she denied abuse but then ended with "I'm not about to go there with you"

I wonder did he know something and she was choosing not to disclose it on the show?
