Quote From: mommiegwenIn my opinion there is no excuxe 4 this. If she is home all day pregnant or not she can clean up. She even has a babysitter while she stays home!, give me a break the woman is lazy. I had 6 kids and a couple of them R stairsteps So I was pregnant w/a baby @home. I was able to keep my house clean. However my husband is a big help. He'll clean, cook, sew,do laundry. So if the sucker doesn't like it tel lhim to get off his lazy ass and help, housecleaning isn't only woman's work ,if U want a clean house. My son told my daughter once doing dishes was woman's work- he did them for a week and we have a dishwasher-but he busted those suds 4 a week and cleaned other things. Now he mops floors and cleans the bathroom and next he's gonna learn to sew and he's learning to cook. B----ing about it ain't gonna clean it. Learn to delegate jobs. I worked, came home cleaned the house, cooked dinner, helped the kids w/homework did what I had to do. Yeah I was tired, but there's things that just have to be done and they won't do themselves. If I needed help I "Asked" 4 it. Plus my kids had chores even as little kids. Everybody lives here and everybody helps. However when I was @ home I did most of the housework. If something wasn't done and I didn't feel like doing it and my husband had something to say I'd tell him so do it or shut up. He'd do it or shut up. He yells loud, but I yell worse. He doesn't want to get me started(smart guy I finally got him trained after 32 years(smile). Don't come @me w/that yakkety yak. I say handle it-handle it. By the way when pregnant w/my girls (3)I had AM sickness the whole pregnancy and still cleaned my house and ran a daycare since I was home. So she needs to quit beiing Nasty and Lazy and do what she has to do. She, being pregnant, shouldn't want to be in a Nasty house, where's her pride?
There is a BIG difference between you and Diana. Diana has two children under 5 and a third on the way. I believe her second child is only 10 months. I am so glad you have your husband trained, unfortunately Diana's husband is working over a hundred hours a week and therefore isn't around to be trained.
Your very lucky to have a husband that cleans, cooks, sews and does laundry. What Ken does around the house. Nothing! The reason for that is because he is always working. He comes home and does what...call his wife half-a--ed. Where is the support there. You also mention in your post that "Everybody lives here and everybody helps". Guess you missed the part of the show concerning the age of Diana's children. Unless someone has come up with a method to get a child that is 1 to pick up their toys and not make a mess I believe a lot of people would be grateful to learn that trick.
Diana has two children under the age of 5. Cleaning service or not, she is basically all on her own raising these children and trying to maintain a household. Maybe there are a few things she could do more efficiently, but why would she be encouraged to make the effort when her husband is critical and calls her names. A little emotional support, love and affection can be inspiring and go along ways.
There was no mention on how often the cleaning service is used or how often Diana uses a babysitter. What Diana needs is a supportive husband who spends some of his time at home. With the hours that Ken works, he isn't home enough to be a husband and father. He is an absentee parent and husband.
This marriage is far from a partnership no matter how you look at it. Both Ken and Diana need some serious help or this marriage is doomed.
The letters keep coming in! Dr. Phil revisits the controversial topic of what defines the role of a wife. Ken thinks his wife, Diana, is lazy because she can't keep the house up to his standard of cleanliness. Ken works two jobs and keeps his spouse financially comfortable but doesn't understand why Diana, a stay-at-home mom, can't keep a cleaner house. Diana is pregnant with their third child in five years and says she's doing the best she can. Then, meet "Anne," who performs nude shows online to bring home the bacon. Her husband, "Rob," disapproves of his wife's method of income, but he hasn't stopped her from doing it. Now that Anne has had an affair with one of her customers, is it too late to save their marriage? Share your thoughts.
