Quote From: anonimouseI 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.
Thank you for your imput and i agree with everything you said. I think I may have not made myself clear. I meant that the decision to not having a second child should not be based on the off chance that your wife may lose her figure. Obviously Robin takes good care of herself. I just wondered how much pressure there may be in looking so trim since she is in the spotlight and if Dr Phil's opinion on her being thin has anything to do with it. I cant help but think that being in a celebrity situation must have something to do with it and coupled with the fact that , as Dr Phil , has pointed out many times that his sisters are large women. I just wonder what the conversation was like when he told her he didnt want another child because she may let herself go. As neither of us were there , we cant really speculate. I brought it up because I heard this sometime back and it bothered me. Robin didnt address the question at the time.
Dr Phil obviously did what he thought was best as now they have Jordan. I did feel bad for the man who was really pushed into changing his mind. They made a bargain and now she has changed the terms. He is older and I can see how he doesnt want to go through this again. I think he was bullied and I hope it doesnt come back to bite him later.
