TV Shows

[Aliantha]

I'm sitting here with a bit of wet eye after watching a segment on Dr Phil about a woman who has anger issues and takes it out on her kids. They showed footage of her in action and the whole thing just made my stomach turn.

I'm not usually a big fan of shows like this, but I do sometimes watch the Dr Phil show because he seems to deal with issues that in some way we can connect with. Every day issues I guess.

Anyway, it just made me think about how I deal with my kids and has inspired me to be more thoughtful about them on the days when things have been a bit tough and they're being a bit naughty.

Is it just me, or does this sort of thing sometimes happen to other people when they watch these sort of shows?
