Bye Bye Discovery Health

Really, I think it's just selfish on the part of the parents. How could you even buy them all a new pair of shoes? I don't see how one of them could ever feel special. If I was one of those kids, I'd feel very resentful. But, that's just my opinion!

I have what is considered a large family (5 kids), and I homeschool 4 out of the 5. I can't stand people who judge me just because I'm not doing what the majority does. I don't judge other parents that put their kids in daycare or outside school. That is just what they have to do or choose to do. I don't have to buy my children something to make them feel special. When we cook together, do crafts, play sports, or even do laundry it a special bonding time. I do teach them to have values, morals and to respect others. If that makes us weird in other peoples eyes then so be it, but it would be a much better world if all parents did that instead of buying things to make their children feel special.

[QUOTEThe kids all seem loved and happy so really, that's all that matters. The older ones come across as sensible and responsible. I seriously doubt any are going to go out and get graduate/PhD's or become incredibly successful but no doubt they'll become productive members of society. ]

IMHO Oprah is a dangerous individual and if she is planning on keeping her channel health oriented, except it's health according to Oprah and "friends"...well a true waste of a channel it will be. Maybe it can be that nutjob Dr. Phil 24/7...won't that be wonderfully nauseating. Glad I don't waste my money on cable TV.
