I think you're blowing this out of proportion

Quote From: ceriseeee

After the show about Desperate Mom , I was reminded of a comment that one of the guests made a couple of years back. She said that she remembered that the reason Dr Phil didnt want a second child was because Robin would "let herself go" . This comment bothered me as I would think that if Robin weighed 200 lbs he should be ok with it. I understand it could be a health issue but you should love your wife no matter what. Robin appears to me to be the typical skinny Hollywood girl and I just wonder if it is a pressure because she is his wife and the image has to be right. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. It has been bugging me for some time. I look forward to all feedback .
I have no doubt Dr Phil would still LOVE Robin even if she weighed 200 lbs. However, I also think Robin has too much respect for her husband to let herself go. It's normal, I understand, for women to put on a few pounds when they have kids, but to gain a massive amount of weight is not normal. I think a lot of women get so into the martyr idea of being a mom that they put 100 percent of their energy into their baby and none into themselves or their husbands. Martyrdom is not attractive nor interesting. Stick the baby in a stroller and jog with it. Having a baby is no excuse for letting yourself go. I know if my boyfriend let himself double in size I would still love him, but would also feel like he was being disrespectful not to want to look his best for me.
