OMG! Phil! Your hair!!! What were you thinking!..😆.We'll miss you Phil! You taught is more than we even knew at the time! You made us think deeply about some things, we had never considered, & we were never, ever, able to thank you enough! RIP Phil Donahue 2024....🤘
She insisted on having the kids 50% of the time, was a good mother then, and still is 39 years later. Her comment speaks poignantly and honestly to the challenges for women especially in the 1960s and 1970s as they tried to balance a new professional life with their family life. In the 1960s there were few women at professional meetings in many fields. Today they often make up more than 50%. Our daughters have had opportunities that their mothers never had. Of course this means that more and more men have needed to begin shouldering the responsibilities traditionally carried out only by mothers. The challenges continue as both parents now need to work outside the home to make ends meet.
I see apnews.com/2464704ff76244d288e4c6866cb921ec which is what you seem to be referring to. Our episode only exists on the web because we recorded it in 1980 and put it up on the web in 2015. I do not know of any Donahue show archive.
Darn, I'm looking for that too! Just watched the documentary today and I was looking forward to watching the Donahue special, but it doesn't seem to be online, unfortunately. That's just a shame because it was filmed shortly after they met and they all seemed so happy.
My ex in laws had all of their sons and their exes and currents and the children for holidays because they didn't think we should miss out and it was amazing
@@connievino4226 why not? Not all exes are bad. When our daughter had a dance competition her dad his wife and myself and grandparents all went out for dinner. Why wouldn’t we? I get holiday and birthday cards from my exes parents. I love them very much. It’s called being adults and loving.
...and, considering the success rate of 2nd marriages, those people are probably not married anymore either, & the kids probably live far away from the parents, & don't talk to Mom or Dad very often at all! Such is life!..🤷🏻♀️ Hopefully they are all happy, & healthy today!..🤘✌
I would so love to hear from the kids from this show. They would now be in their 50’s. How did your life really turn out? I’m willing to bet both of these 2nd marriages failed! Did that one guy finally realize growing longer the hair he had left didn’t make him any less bald? 😂
Kat Joy- Yes, the 2nd marriages failed. None of the kids came out unscathed by the complete inability to acknowledge that they WERE NOT ok with all this.
I can tell you that ALL 4 are very accomplished and extremely successful people. I am not related I actually know from my profession. I know all 4. They are very good. More accomplished that most of us. And happy
We are assured that the children grew up 'to be very happy'. And the adults? If they were happy too, Why divorce? What about the wife living alone? Yes the arrangement of kids comming and going meant she participated in bringing them all up. It seems there were no conflicts. As I say, why divorce? We had live in help when I was young, she influenced my two sisters and me, of course she did. But i'm sure my father never noticed her, nor did she care about that. I can't help feeling that these couples were making a fashion statement rather than a marriage.
All four children have grown up happy, secure, productive, happily married and determined not to divorce. There were many reasons for the divorces. What was different was that each divorce was amicable, meaning only one lawyer was involved. We all agreed to put the children’s interest first and we all have stood by that now for more than 35 years. It was not easy, but we still believe it was the best choice given the alternatives.
I'm very happy for you and the family. But whats this 'and determined not to divorce.'? Somebody isn't happy. I'm leaving you there because I will never know and don't want to know something which is very personal and I am quite unable to help. Howeve my wife presented me with a summons to appear in the family court in three weeks after my 65th, I turned up and accepted the inevitable, I accepted a reasonable monthly sum and took the entire responsibility for two late teenagers and their university education. I am polite to my ex in the social sense, she was kind enough to tell me she didn't love me any more, I assume she never did.

Phil was waaaaay ahead of his time, and we had no clue back then ! Thank you for making these episodes available again !
You're clearly a Marxist Leninist Clinton/Biden voter. Ridiculous.
And no one wonders how it will affect the children to be ping ponged back and forth between households.
I so agree with u.
Thought it off to hear a mom say she enjoyed being a part time mom. Being a mother is a full time position

Well, let’s be honest, being a Mum, is “full time job,” in your opinion…
Amen, that was awful
The kids are hearing this.
I’m trying to find an episode from this show that interviewed the triplet boys separated at birth. Do you know where I could find that?

theres a movie about them called 'three identical strangers'
Could you please tell me how I could find a Phil Donahue Show that aired back in 1981?
We recorded this on videotape in 1981 that was then converted to .mp3 decades later. I do not know if there is an archive somewhere of all shows
My ex in laws had all of their sons and their exes and currents and the children for holidays because they didn't think we should miss out and it was amazing
Don't believe you.

John Lahr’s marriage lasted.
The whole thing was a farce.
I can tell you that ALL 4 are very accomplished and extremely successful people. I am not related I actually know from my profession. I know all 4. They are very good. More accomplished that most of us. And happy
I wonder if the second marriages lasted, or did they divorce?
One did. The other lasted 10 years while the kids were still home. My newest marriage has lasted 25 years and counting.
@@PeterWardJacksonWY You should have done your duty and been honorable to your first wife.
The mom who is single loves her me time, she prefers to not be a full time mom. I guessed it worked out for her 🤷🏻♀️
We are assured that the children grew up 'to be very happy'.
And the adults? If they were happy too,
Why divorce?
What about the wife living alone? Yes the arrangement of kids comming and going meant she participated in bringing them all up.

As a spouse of one of those children, for 15 years (together 25), I would not say that they all grew up happy, or especially well-adjusted.

Ask Phill about his first WIFE and kids🤔
To this day this is the wrong way to raise children. Why are those kids on the stage? Horrible for Phil to have them on stage.
What? You think they don't know?!!!..😄😅😂😅😆
Hey, who is this Jesus?
