Single moms and bad moms
Teaching kids the right way and communicating with them is important: not trying to be buddies, but setting rules and morals. That’s why parents, usually single ones, are accused of abuse. I’m a single mom and have had similar situation. I couldn’t be at work and at home with my boys making sure they were protected, or paying daycare or family, etc. Single parents, I anyway, can’t do it all! She was trying to teach kid to be responsible enough so she could cope. I live in town where we are judged all time. I’m not the Beaver Cleaver mother. I’m pulling my hair out. But, I feel I’ve done right with my boys. I’ve lived by the golden rule and have tried to teach them that. When everybody is telling them I’m bad because I don’t take them to movies or playgroups, then what do you do? Just keep on doing. I believe in myself and I know what is right and wrong. Sometimes life is the pits and I go day by day. I applaud the mom for teaching what she knows she must do to survive.

Truth or lie
A lie isn’t a lie until it is spoken. My response to your comment about an ugly, well, the other option would have been to keep comments to yourself. It’s your opinion, not fact. The show is based on facts isn’t it? So there is a bit of difference!

i posted a comment along the same lines and did not read yours till after. Strange how some of us think this way and then some of the very guilty or afraid to admit of their faith in god and jesus think that show is awful, because they don't believe or just have no direction

Ingenious
I think it’s almost better than Deal or No Deal! It’s a win-win situation. It should be thought out before the person applies for the show. People aren’t forced to go on this are they? I agree with the comment about saving everyone 15 or 20 years of living a lie. I wished someone I know and love had told me the truth years ago. Maybe I can get him on there!! I’d want half the money.

Looking for the right person
Maybe this game is looking for the person who really likes to be honest and feels like they maybe could be deserving of the money. After all, what’s wrong with being honest from the beginning?

Irresistible
In my opinion, all contestants going on the show know what is or could be at stake. I think if you look at the overall picture, most of the time lies do surface and for what better reason? Also, a good deal! Sorry for the pun! You should try not to tell a lie in the beginning, especially a lie to deceive, betray, etc. These would be the questions that the contestant would be on the hot seat for answering - the things that might come up to make want to lie and then lose. I wouldn't be in the hot seat if I knew beyond the shadow of doubt that a lie I told way back when could be worse than losing and embarrassed to tears bring out my skeletons! Come out; come out, wherever you are!
