Topic : 07/16 The Dr. Phil House: Man Camp

Quote From: gwarrior6

You have to give her credit for getting the help.  If she was yelling at her husband in front of her daughter and NOT getting help, that would be one thing.  But she's trying to improve the situation-at least that's progress.  No parent is perfect, but she's going on national tv and saying "I'm a bad parent".  That's got to be hard-and hard for her husband to be the bad guy to get help.

 

I do agree that if you do choose to go on national tv, you are putting yourself out there for criticism.  You have to know that some people aren't going to like you or agree with everything you say- big deal.  Who cares?  None of us are in her life, so i don't see how it matters.

I just want to let you know that there is a message board on this site dedicated to abused women. Whether it be the survivors, or those living with it still every day of their lives. There is helpful information, and resources as well. It's there if you just need to vent as well. There is a common denominator there, the fact that all the women have been or are being abused. Please check it out....

hey thanks for your consideration. i really appreciate it. I guess you are one of the more mature ones. Look i am not sticking up for scott behavior... You know no one has even thought about this...if he is so bad then why is he there...he did not have to go i am the one that signed up for this. He thought he would give it a try. they did not tell us before we went that we were going to have to do the exercises or maybe scott would not have gone. all i am saying is that apparently he knew he had a problem or he would not have been there to begin with. I think the world would be much better if everyone would notice a few positives to go with the negatives, maybe the world would not be so hateful...anyway thank you very much..and about the national tv thing well i dont think you can just call up the best realationship counselor in the world and set up and appointment...you have to go on tv to air this business and besides that is negagive thinking again becuase scott and i putting that out there is helpin others with the same problems. so say what you want but truth be known their life must be pretty bad if all they have to do is be negative toward people they dont even know.

BTW, just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them immature. That accusation is so ironically immature.

Quote From: fluffyfat

I feel like I'm betraying my gender a little but really, just because we can have babies and men can't is no reason to act like women suffer all day every day while men enjoy a bed of roses. I've worked full-time and I've been a SAHM and I always managed to keep the house clean and the laundry caught up with no help from my husband. I'm not saying it isn't nice if they do help and everyone should pick up after themselves, but if I'm home all day, with time to watch Dr. Phil, while my husband is out working non-stop for 8-10 hours then why on earth should he have to come home and help me do dishes? I've seen the men have to do the woman's work on several of these shows but I've never seen the woman go off and do the man's job. I consider myself a feminist. I believe in equal pay for equal work and equal opportunities in education and employment. What I don't get is why men should have to treat their wives like helpless infants who aren't capable of keeping up their half of the deal. These men today were obnoxious. They should never, ever talk to their wives with disrespect or treat their wives like sex workers. On the other hand the women hold responsibility, too. They themselves were all seen usuing vulgar language and one woman has chosen to actually be a sex worker. Maybe if they behaved a little better they would be treated a little better.
