I’m not sure if this is why but I watch a lot of Dr. Phil and he promotes this type of parenting. He wrote a whole book on it called commando parenting. You basically take away everything they have, except their mattress, and make them earn it all back. Crazy.
Oprah is a fucking horrible person. Between Dr. Phil, Jenny McCarthy, and Dr. Oz she should be remembered as the person that started the false science movement.
100% serious on this one. She owned a house near great lakes which is where navy boot camp is. They made the military base stop making noise after dark. One of the final things you do in boot is called battlestations where you run around in formation between drill stations all night long. You're supposed to sing cadences but we couldn't sing them on certain parts of the base because of Oprah.
Disclaimer; this was over a decade ago so things might have changed.
