- October 20, 2011
In season 10 episode 29 of the Dr. Phil Show, titled "Grandmas Feud Over Becca's Baby," the focus is on a family feud between two grandmothers over their granddaughter Becca's baby. Becca is a young mother who is caught in the middle of the conflict between her mother and her husband's mother.
The two grandmothers, Linda and Margaret, have been at odds since Becca became pregnant. Linda, Becca's mother, feels that she has a right to spend more time with her granddaughter since she is the maternal grandmother. Margaret, on the other hand, feels that she should have equal time with her granddaughter since she is the paternal grandmother. The feud between the two grandmothers has gotten so out of hand that they have taken legal action against each other.
Dr. Phil invites both grandmothers onto his show to try to resolve the conflict between them. He starts by asking Linda and Margaret to explain their side of the story. Linda tells Dr. Phil that she feels Margaret is trying to take over her role as a mother and grandmother, and that she is constantly undermining her authority with Becca and her husband. Margaret, however, contends that Linda is too controlling and doesn't respect her place in the family.
Dr. Phil then turns to Becca and asks her how she feels about the situation. Becca admits that she is torn between her two grandmothers and that the constant fighting is causing a great deal of stress for her and her family. She explains that she loves both grandmothers and wants them both to be involved in her daughter's life, but doesn't know how to make that happen.
Dr. Phil then brings in a mediator to help the two grandmothers work through their differences. The mediator encourages Linda and Margaret to listen to each other's concerns and to come up with a plan that will allow them both to spend time with their granddaughter. After several hours of discussion, the two grandmothers are able to come to an agreement.
In the end, Dr. Phil brings Becca back onto the show and presents her with a plan that both grandmothers have agreed to. Becca is relieved that the fighting has stopped and that her daughter will be able to have a relationship with both grandmothers. She thanks Dr. Phil and the show for helping her family to resolve their conflict.
Overall, the episode "Grandmas Feud Over Becca's Baby" is a heartwarming story of two grandmothers who learn to put their differences aside for the sake of their granddaughter. By showing empathy and understanding towards each other, they are able to come up with a solution that works for everyone. The Dr. Phil Show addresses the importance of family and how perseverance can lead to a peaceful resolution.
