We've all got a mom, and they all come with different personalities, and in different shapes and sizes. While some are more traditional, like June Cleaver, others are controlling drama queens. First meet Jessica. She says that becoming a mom was one of the happiest moments in her life, but it has taken a huge toll on her marriage. She gained over 50 pounds having her children, and now her husband says she looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy. He even points to pigs and says to his kids, 'Look, there's Mommy.' What does Dr. Phil say this couple must do to restore their relationship? Next, Kathleen calls her mom, Grace, the biggest drama queen. She says she's so controlling, she will throw tantrums if things don’t go her way. Grace says she's just a concerned, caring mother who likes to state her opinion. Will Grace admit her behavior is over the top, and is she ready to make a change? Then, 14-year-old Sheri claims she has the most embarrassing mom in the world! She says her mom, Monique, will break into song and dance anywhere at anytime. But will she at the Dr. Phil show? And, you won't want to miss Robin's favorite Mother’s Day present ideas. Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Thank you

Quote From: housewife52

Look, the way he spoke to you was totally WRONG. You are his wife and the mother of his child and a fellow human being. I can understand that it was depressing to have him talk to you that way. I can tell you that if my husband had ever talked to me in that manner, it would have made me angry. I gained 50 lbs. with both pregnancies and it took longer to get it off the 2nd time. I'm with DrP, you CAN lose it. Just hang in there. I hope your husband sees the error of his ways and sincerely apologizes to you.
Thank you for that!! And acctually I have lost 20 lbs with Dr Phil's help!!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON THAT ONE

Quote From: housewife52

My son came in during this segment and I explained what was going on. He said, "Well, he ain't got no room to talk, he looks like he's 12 years old."

 YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON THAT MAN.

    HE IS A BOY IN EVERY WAY

May he learn what REAL LOVE really is....before it's too late

The reality is that this young woman will eventually lose the weight but NEVER forget all the mean things her husband has said to her. She will always feel the hurt and pain of his words every time she looks at him and every time she looks in the mirror.

 

Also, this man is abusing his children by speaking of their mother so horribly. If they are girls, they'll be so self-contious about their bodies & weight. And if they don't look perfect, they'll think their father doesn't love them or like them. If they are boys, they'll grow up to have lousy marriages because they'll treat their own wives the lousy way they saw their father treat their mother. This man has NO RIGHT to do this to his kids!

 

I have been happily married almost 19 years to a rugged, handsome, sweet, bright, successful, federal officer. He's a SUPER husband/friend/lover and a great father to our two kids. I gained 100 lbs since we met and he has NEVER EVER said one mean thing about me. He still calls me beautiful, tells me he loves me and WANTS sex as often as ever. In 3 months, I have lost 35 lbs while on a medical diet. I feel great and he's supportive because he wants me HEALTHY. He woud love me fat or skinny, it makes no matter. THAT is what real love is all about. Real love doesn't hurt. It's not mean or cruel.

 

Hopefully the young woman's husband will GROW UP, become a REAL husband, learn how to LOVE and be SUPPORTIVE and also do right by his children before it's too late. I wish them well. There are too many divorces in this country, too many broken homes and God has been very sad...

Cool Stuff!

I've always wanted to go see the Dr. Phil show taped.  (There are a few obstacles, like, um, having trouble finding babysitters and being on the other end of the country and such.)  But, wow, today would have been the day to go, wouldn't it? That was some pretty cool stuff they were handing out!

GRACE

  DR PHIL THIS WOMAN GRACE NEEDS SOME HELP.I HAD A GRANDMOTHER WAS LIKE GRACE AS

SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS BETTER THAN ANY ONE. AND MY MOTHER AND MYSELF WAS NOT AS GOOD AS HER AND GUESS WHAT GRACE IS THIS KIND OF WOMAN WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN CHILDREN WHY.

LET YOUR KIDS BE HAPPY. AND DON'T TRY TO RUN THEIR LIVES. THAT IS WHY WE ARE MOTHERS AND FATHERS AND WE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE CHILDREN TO LET THEM MAKE A LIFE FOR THEM SELF'S.

SO GRACE GET OVER YOURSELF!! AND GET A LIFE.

05/09 Mama Drama

Quote From: mimiskb

I totally agree with you.  Dr. Phil's question put the blame for her weight gain on the husband, not on the person putting the food in their mouth.  The husband can't help whether he is attracted to a heavy woman or not, although he doesn't have to be so ugly about it.   She has 2 choices: lose the weight or lose the husband, neither loss sounds like a bad deal.

I don't think he was blaming the husband for her gaining weight.  He was blaming the husband for making her miserable.

 

Dr. Phil even asked her point-blank, "Do you really want to lose this weight?"

 

She said that she did.  She said that being overweight was making her unhappy.  But, more than that, making her unhappy was her cruel husband comparing her to a sow and stuff.

Man of Distinction?

What was all of this with Jessica's husband going out of his way to tell us that he came from a cultured, wealthy background?

 

It has been my experience that if someone is a child of privilege and they have to make a point of TELLING you that ~ well, then, all of that fancy rearing didn't help em very much!

chronic pain!

Quote From: brendafattig

Please do a show on chronic pain. There have got to be other people out there who are in my situation and who do not know who to turn to next. Pain every single day of their lives, altering what their life used to be like. Go to the doctor and get the same old responses. Here are your pain pill prescriptions, see ya in a month. Family thinking that you are already a drug addict because you are on medicine prescribed to you by a M.D., but that doesn't matter you are bound to be an addict at some point in your life. (According to them).  Friends who don't understand that "no, you don't feel like coming out for dinner because all you want to do is to lay in bed because you are in pain or are tired from the pain pills or depressed over your situation. Unless you have ever had chronic pain and have suffered from it daily you have NO idea what we go through on a daily basis. It just gets old, people don't understand us. I would LOVE for dr.phil to do a show on chronic pain and have a pain psychologist  or a pain doctror there with our group who can actually give statistics of what our pain does to us on a dad to day basis and just how common of a problem this is for us. thanks, brenda fattig
Maybe you should e-mail Dr. Phil, doube if he reads the message boards.
