 I dont believe you, Robin McGraw!!!

I always turn the tv on when Im making dinner and I listen (and try to watch) the dr phil show.  OK I often think he's full of it, although sometimes he makes sense. I also always thought his wife Robin seemed like such a nice, down to earth person based on what I saw on tv.  But what I saw yesterday makes me think she's pretty full of it herself.

She was talking about how she has never ever yelled at her sons or called them a name, or told them they were less than perfect:  " I have NEVER, EVER called my sons any names, or told them they were stupid. I have always told them they are absolutely perfect and when I look at them, I have always looked at them with nothing less than a SMILE .  They are my reason for living,  the biggest joy in my life and it is my absolute privilege to be their mother. "   She's never raised her voice at her sons, or been angry enough with them to say something stupid.  She's always had a smile on her face when she looks at her sons.  No, I didnt misunderstand or not hear what she was saying.

Wow! 

Those are some big claims there.  The only part I believe is where she talks about how her sons are her reason for living, and how its her privilege to be their mom and that they are the biggest joy in her life.  I believe that.  But she's never given them a dirty look? Never yelled at them?  Come on!  Did she raise those boys herself?  How do I get kids like that, that never piss off their parents. I would LOVE to always have a smile on my face when I look at my kids.

Im one of the most easygoing people I know, and I get pist off at my kids. In fact,  I give dirty looks at least once a day, as well as make threats and lie to my kids.  I threaten to throw their toys in the trash unless theyre picked up. I threaten to spank them. I threaten to not take them to the store. I threaten to not give them ice cream.  I lie to them when I tell them that santa claus is watching them.  I lie to them when I tell them that they cant go outside cause the snow monster is there waiting for them underneath all the snow. I lie to them when I tell them that if they eat their vegetables, they will be big and strong like daddy. 

And (gasp!!!)  last night when my 3 year old wanted kool aid I told her to WAIT. And the other day when I found elmers glue all over the comforter I had just washed, I just didnt have it in me to put a smile on my face.  Even if someone were to tell me to smile, I wouldnt of done it!  Too bad!!!

She is full of it...if what she says is true than she is having her husband seriously medicate her,,,and that's no better than the yell of a frustrated parent, or the rolling of the eyes, or the snow monster...she is the abnormal one, not the rest of us!

Oh my! Now I can understand the snow monster and Santa and the vegetables (wait, that's a lie?), but the ICE CREAM?! You are a true monster, greencat! :)

Great post! I agree Ms. Robin is full of it. There's no way she has never lied or yelled at her kids. I believe sometimes she and Dr. Phil stretch the truth about their lifes for tv ratings. Maybe she should have tried some of my parents tactics :) Theirs seem to have worked well with me and my siblings lol
