I posted something earlier stating that MS. Gifford is priivledged woman who never suffered poverty, addictions. I also mentioned that my sister was a fashion designer who died 46 almost 2yrs ago, my mom did everything right. im a nurse, brother is a Social Worker, and one is a politician. Parents do the best they can,people like Kathy who never suffered, except for a cheating scandal, has never been thru shit that matter. Please keep my post on as a tribute to my poor late sister and my mother who is heartbroken becasue she feels like she failed somwhow as a mother. Thank Kathy Lee

This is yet another media lie. Kathie Lee Gifford never called anyone a "failure". This is just a pathetic attempt on the part of media to get attention, because more people are watching Kathie Lee Gifford than are reading this trash.

Uh....she did NOT call anyone a "failure". And she has a right to her opinion, whether you agree with it or NOT. This country is becoming "PC" to a FAULT. You can't tell it like it is anymore because nothing is ANYONE'S fault anymore, everyone has a disease or disorder so you're not supposed to hold them accountable for anything they do----this is part of the problem.

Give me a break. The blame is not solely on the parent for a child choosing that kind of lifestyle. We are all responsible for our own actions no matter what. While it's true that there are parents who do not actively participate in a childs life/keep up on their activities which equals not making sure they're not doing something they're not supposed it doesn't mean the child will comply or even be prevented from doing these kind of things. Parents aren't always around their kids, they choose to do what they want on their own. That doesn't make the parent a failure, it makes the child responsible for what they've chosen to do of their own free will. Yes parents can set examples but can only do so much.

Kathy Lee is absolutely correct, parents do not know how to raise their children they give in to all there whims, spoiled them to the core, and then the kids turn around and bull crap them in the face.
