The Dr.Phil house: Man Camp

Quote From: kaden10001

I think a Men Camp is a good idea. Dr Phil, please don't take this the wrong because I know you don't do this to your Wife Robin but what is wrong with men that don't want to do anything to help their wives in any of the house hold chores. I live with a man that if he drops something on the floor he calls me in to pick it up. Then when he gets mad he starts to cuss me out like I am suppose to obey him like a child. I am sorry but my father is no longer alive. May he rest in peace. I am glad that you are having this show on controlling husband starting Monday I hope I can get my husband to watch it. But I won't bet on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  I think the Man Camp idea is great. For some reason, some men direct  all their anger  towards their wives or girlfriends, whether its the issue of control or other things i am not too sure.  It has shocking effects to their families, and if they have kids, it traumatises them greatly as well.  So i am hopeful that with Dr.Phil's excellent help some positive results will come out of it for the sake of all concerned.  Dr.Phil and Robyn and their family, Jay and Jordan, are a wonderful example to us all as a perfect family, even though i know there is no such thing, but they are near to perfect in my eyes.  God bless them as a family and may God allow them to help and inspire us as we walk the path of life.  Maria3255

Your household problem is ABUSE; chore handling is a symptom

My boyfriend (a macho martial arts instructor) washes dishes, sinks, and clothes;  vacuums; and scrubs toilets; as did my previous male roommate.  I know lots of husbands who do housework.  Rather than generalize about all men, please realize you're in an abusive relationship.  Your abuser cusses you out and expects you to obey, while he doesn't life a finger around the house.  Getting your husband to watch the show will probably piss him off. Rather than that, assuming you're not in any immediate physical danger, I suggest you read up on controlling and verbally abusive men.  You DON'T have to put up with this lousy treatment.

 Men Camp makes me ill to know there are such chauvanists out there.  It could be my next door neighbor!  It makes me think about how I should respond to my own wife when she natters at me.  Believe me, I really consider what I am about to say and how to say it.

More men, if that what they think they are, should listen to your Man Camp Series.  And so should the women who receive abuse and take action to leave.  My wife does not think such actions happen.  She thinks these persons are paid to act out these scenarios.  She refuses to believe that people will come on stage and tell such stories.

These women should not fear so much about how to earn their living after they leave the house.  It is my opinion, that is why they stay with these men. Not that they love him. How can they love a beast  like that? There are services out there that will care for these battered women.
