She is at her core very much the same. She is more willing to chastize and is far more serious in that Dr. Phil lightens the mood with his "ism's". He says the same thing she does, but seems more friendly maybe? I did not take offense, it is not yet hot in here! I hope it dosen't.
I used to really hate her, when I listened more because I am a shock junkie on the way to taking DD to daycare, which I hated, then there is this woman saying no kid under four should be away from their parents. I felt like she was attacking me personally.
One day I heard her saying that things can be done to get around daycare, you just have to make sacrifices. She said things like, cut out the cable and sell one of the two cars, which sounded drastic to me then she said something that was very true in my situation- some people work to pay daycare, and if they cut out a couple of bills and the Daycare they could be in the same position financially anyway! That was after a teacher at DD's daycare told me there are some kids who are just not cut out for it and mine looked like one of them, as she sat in the corner all day, tears running down her face at one year old. I took her out and sacrificed and am so happy with my decision and grateful to Dr. Laura that I agree with her alot now!
