Sonny

from Dr. Sonny

While on her sabbatical from the NewsPress, it seems Dr. Laura took my advice and got herself a blog! DR Laura'sBlog

However, while she dispenses advice, I'll be giving her advice! For starters, Dr. Laura advovates lying to protect a person's feelings!

Dr. Laura says: Some folks used the “truth” as a weapon to hurt or feel/appear superior. I have spent many minutes in many calls trying to pull people back from that temptation.
You must always ask yourself, “What benefit is it to the person to know…whatever?” There are many times I have advised people to hold back on seemingly huge information because it would be severely damaging. For example, I have told men not to tell their children that the child is not “biologically” theirs. A common situation is when the woman was already pregnant by a sperm-donor type guy, and the caller stepped up to the plate and married her and raised the child as his/their own. Years later, they “worry” that the child has a right to the truth. I tell them that this child will be severely hurt by this disclosure and that they should go to their graves with that “truth.”

Dr. Sonny says : Dr. Laura, this is sheer nonsense. All you are doing is modeling a lie! When the kids grow up, they will find out the real story from another source. They will wonder why the parent didn't have the guts to tell the truth, and trust will be forever broken. Hiding appropriate information from kids is a neurotic tendency..don't pass it on! FIX IT!

Dr. Laura says: Some Viewpoints Don't Deserve Respect..I don’t respect the point of view of single women, by choice, thinking they are equivalent to a mom and a dad, married and in love. Those are just a few of my favorite “no respect” things. A few weeks back I got into a bit of a row with an acquaintance who had attended the same charity function as I, during which a recipient of an award behaved in a graceless and rude manner because she was at political odds with the host.

Dr. Sonny says: The event in question was the BILTMORE BASH! Now, I don't know Sara McCune, but her statement about wanting to own the NP next year ruffled a lot of feathers among the Montecito social circuit and set their hair on fire!! The circuit is made up of airhead nitwit women who have too much money and time on their hands for their own good! The gasps were of "rude, inappropriate" behavior by Mrs. McCune..but I say "Way to go , Sara!" ... put these phonies in their place! Sara outclasses Laura by a country mile!

Single women have every right to raise their children as they see fit, as do single men. It happens all the time. When a spouse dies, one parent raises the kids, usually with help from aunts and uncles..it's no big deal. The ideal american family postcard that Dr. Laura tries so hard to sell is a fake..just like she is!
