2/21 More Wifestyles

Quote From: julie1418

I get that you seem to be in a heated battle with another poster, but this seems pretty harsh. The person you are really bashing here is Kelly, and as far as I can see, she is not arguing with you nor has she written an unkind comment to ANYONE. 

  

The truth is, none of us really know what the refrigerator, bathrooms, etc. are like in their home. Even if we did, we'd probably still disagree....eye of the beholder and all of that. We also don't fully know the inner workings of their relationship.  I don't think any of us have the right to assume we fully get it.

Agree with you Julie... we do not know what the home really looks like and what one individual considers clean or a job well done, it's only that individual's opinion.  I often have my friends comment on the fact that my house looks like a "model home" or as if no one lives here.  The reality is that everything gets done right before they come over and in my eyes my home "has greater potential".  Bottom line is that you mentioned the "inner workings of their relationship" and that is something we do not know unless we are a part of that relationship.  In my opinion, after I heard some of the 'business lingo' and comments from Grant as it relates to what I go through every day at work, I felt as if he was trying to apply "Performance Management" logic to his wife instead of focusing on the relationship itself, compromising, etc. I also felt that his views were unrealistic to the day and age that we live in and he has some maturing to do.  Luckily, I think he realized what he was doing wrong and believe he and his wife will work on making changes based on Dr. Phil's advice.  

Cheers!
