Reader Submitted Foolishness: What’s Really Hood With Dr. Phil?
YBF reader Horace sent in this video of a kid on Dr. Phil recently having it out with his mama. The just of the backstory is that they have mother-child discipline and attention issues. The kid, however, forgets he is the kid and hauls off and slaps his mother to “make her listen”:
Damn. Let the thought even had formed in my mind to do this ish to my mama. It would be TROUBLE. Speak on it.

Also parents are trying to be best friends with their kids instead of parents. Growing up just a stern look would make me sit down. This little kid needs a good old fashion whoopin and some love. Seems like he is just acting out for attention. Very sad! I can’t even watch Dr. Phil. It seems like it’s just another version of Jerry Springer except with a better set.

First it’s yelling, then it’s slapping, next is punching and kicking, then a shot to the head! Hell nah - i am not going to bring the person who will murder me into this world! I’ll take him out 1st!

On Jun 4, 2008 at 11:31 am | Reply | QuotePeople are stating that this is funny and it isn’t because this young child has all of this anger inside of him and one day he is going to get bigger/older. I saw this episode and I wanted to jump thru the television and spank him myself. I rewinded the show and called my husband in to see it and he re-acted, too. If that would have been my mother, then the Dr. Phil house would have been destroyed. If that would have been me, then I would be sitting in jail right now. It goes to show you that somewhere a generation skipped what our parents and grandparents were taught.

On Jun 4, 2008 at 11:47 am | Reply | QuoteLet this video be a WARNING for those of you who have UNRULY children. For those of you, who have RUDE children. FASTY children. MOUTHY children. Don’t be afraid to SPANK YOUR CHILD. And no it’s not cute if your child is three and has an attitude, they’ll get older, and WORSE. So don’t condone or encourage IGNORANCE.
If I everrrrrrrr in my life slapped my mother, IN HER FACE, my life would end at that very momment. I wanted to jump through the screen when I saw that and CHOKE that kid. But the mother is just as much to blame. You have to be a PARENT to your child. Children REPEAT what they see. If you move like a PUSHOVER, they’ll come up and TREAT YOU LIKE A PUSH OVER. Stability is the key… CONSISTENCY is NECCESSARY! It’s clear that child thinks he’s in charge, that he’s the parent… I wonder why…. they both need SERIOUS help. Jesus, take the wheel.
