I"m not a big fan of Dr. Phil by ANY means but today, while I was doing the eliptical, I had a whim to turn it on.

MIRACLE O. M. G!!

Dr. Phil was ACTUALLY DRESSING DOWN A PASINATOR BM for trying to turn the children against biodad and his wife!!

And SM said "it really picked up when I became pregnant!"

No kidding! Here we go again. . . BM creating loyalty conflicts.

Now the biodad did make some mistakes, but it seemed to be in response to the BM's PAS.

The constant calling when skids were at biodad and SM's by the BM.

The BM telling the skids "you only have X more days to go with dad then you can be back with mommykins for some really fun stuff" etc.

They had 50/50 custody so you'd think there'd be less of a chance for the BM to do her PAS number, but as you can see, it's still there only to a lesser extent contrasted with the CP BM and the EOWE biodad.

Then the skids said "daddy spanks us"

SOOO??!! That's good for you!!! Of course the cameras were there so she had to watch what she says, so one can only IMAGINE what the normal response would be sans cameras from the BM!!!

Biodad noted that the BM treated skids as "a friend and not a parent"

EXCELLENT observation!!

I think we should all write in to Dr. Phil and tell him he scored a home run with this episode!
