I saw the show....She should be arrested for child abuse..If that had of been me..I would already be in jail by now....It's like she's getting away with abusing her children....

At first I thought the mom and grandma were kind of coaching her into saying it. But then, when Dr. Phil took the father in the back room to question him, he seemed really confused. I mean, how hard is it to answer "yes" or "no"? I think he's done something. I'm not sure what, but he is not entirely blameless.

I think if my OSD were my bio kid, she would be WORSE behaved!! And don't underestimate the power of just talking with them and being there for them to talk to. They may get that glassy, glazed look in their eye, but I do think some of it eventually filters down to them. The big thing is allowing them to make mistakes. No, not standing by and watching them make mistakes, but realizing they are still kids (no matter what THEY think about it) and they are gonna make mistakes, and our job is to help them pick up the pieces when they do... to listen and guide as much as we can, and just be patient with them. There comes a point in time when we are no longer "responsible" for their actions, and they have to suffer and face consequences when they do certain things. There is no getting around that.

This person may not be aware that she is doing this. It probably is the way she talks to her children. The best thing to do and the hardest is to have a sit down talk with her and tell her how you feel.  If she doesn't respond well, try again but with some other adult sitting in to be a moderator.

She wants him to father her children - - - that cracks me up.  I think it could happen, Wilson's pretty cool, he'd probably be a good dad.  \nAnyway, no clue where you can get the episode, but i could tell you what happened!!!

I don't think he was wrong because I don't think he meant to offend her or be rude. He was simply joking around, and the whole incident was meant to be in good fun. Also, right after it happened, Clay backed down immediately. He saw that he had annoyed her, and stopped. If anyone saw the entire show, it is easy to see that there was playful banter going on betwen the two of them from the beginning. Kelly would say something to Clay, Clay would say something to Kelly and so on. They made fun of eachother, but it was meant to be a joke. I personally think she blew the entire incident out of proportion. What bugged me the most is that she made it seem as if she hade moved on and gotten over the entire thing, and made Clay feel as if everything was ok. When he was interviewed right after the show took place, he only had good things to say about Kelly and how she's great at what she does etc. This was before even hearing what she said on Monday. Then Kelly, instead of simply telling Clay that she had a problem with what happened during the show, she bashes him on national television, AFTER he said good things about her. If she really had a problem, she should have settled if offscreen. And like I already mentioned, he meant the entire thing to be a joke, and she blew it out of proportion. There are even reports from people who were at the show and backstage, and Clay appoligized to her that same day, and she said she accepted. Either way, Kelly should have setteld her problems privately.

Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer are realted..Dr. Phil tells everyone how horrible they are but yet at home his son marries a Hustler and Porn Star. Nice huh? And then he proceeds to tell everyone how proud he is that his son found such a nice girl but god forbid if you are fat. You will be told it is your fault. If you have marital issues you are to blame and then if your kids are out of control the parents are the ones that screwed up. I think it is shows like his that are the problems in our world today. Shame on him for being so shallow.

From the beginning of the show, both of them were joking around with each other and making fun of each other. It wasn't meant to be rude, it was just for fun. Then during the interview, Kelly asked four questions staright and never gave Clay a chance to talk. She started talking again and Clay, as a joke, said "let me know when I can talk" which she also ignored. When she just wouldn't stop, as a joke, Clay put his hand over her mouth for a few seconds. The audience laughed, because it was in context with the rest of the show and the siuation. It was just a joke, he mean no harm, didn't mean to be rude. Apparantly Kelly was offended by what happened, and the second Clay saw this he backed down immediately. He realized he had made a mistake, although he was just joking around with her, and backed down. She seemed to move on, and Clay even said great thigns about her when the Insider interviewed him right after the show was over. However, Kelly wasn't over it. Instead of simply telling Clay she had a problem with what happened after the show, she condemned him on national television on Monday. She should have handled this entire issue offscreen, in private. She should have simply told him she didn't like what happened instead of doing what she did on Monday.

Well it happened to me last night. I told her to get back to the retirement home and stop bothering me. I said that I'd be by to see her on Mothers Day but only if she stopped calling me more then once a year. That woman needs a hobby other then complaining. "The Nurses are stealing my money" "I have Bed Sores" and Blah Blah Blah

OMG, my ex-husband's family would be great on the Springer show.  They fight over everything from land ownership to Whatever!!!  My ex's Mom is living with both her boyfriend and her husband in the same house.  Her husband is a parapalegic and isn't in his right frame of mind so she takes advantage and calls her boyfriend a "PCA"!!!  My children are not allowed anywhere near her boyfriend because he is a convicted sex offender who spent 10 years in jail in vermont for rape.  \n\nTalk about Springer material.\n\nThere's so much more but I don't have time and I already lived it for 10 years....pretty dumb huh?  lol

I think she should feel guilty and know in her heart she f'ed up and live with the fact she just ruined a good mans life and the childrens. so just deal with the fact hes just gonna be your babies daddy and gonna be a good dad that will move on.

I pretty much agree with everyone else. Talk to her, just do it tactfully. People are very sensitive these days especially when it comes to their children. Volunteer to help her out if necessary, the most important thing here is that the children are well taken care of.
