Quote From: chriscloenSorry Dr. Phil, you missed a big point on this one. Why is daughter content to take Mom's money, and go running to her every time she doesn't get her own way, but not Mom's advise?
Why didn't you take this husband to task for supposedly throwing family out of the home? Why is it OK for Mom to pay the bills, and then when hubby moves back in, they keep it a secret, maybe because they don't want to stop the money train?
Why is husband there and the bills still aren't getting paid? Maybe if husband had been a man, and taken care of his family, mother-in-law, would have seen by now she was wrong. At 28 it is past time to start playing the adult, and NOT got back to Mommy, because she and her husband can't make their lives work. It is time to stop making excuses for the past, and except responsibility for their actions.....and then they won't have to worry about what Mom says.
I am really sorry you got the wrong impression from the show. My mom helped me in the begining when my husband wasnt there. The ONE bill that didnt get paid was while I was getting NO HELP FROM ANYONE. He didnt like being a "secret. I tried talking to my mom like I thought mother and daughters do. I would call her and "vent" about my problems just as she had to me.
Thank you Dr. Phil and staff for helping me bring to the surface all the stuff I needed to face.
