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.

05/09 Mama Drama

Low self esteem is whats holding you back, and with a hubby like that, it's no wonder, First thing i would do is cut 150 pounds of  injections of low self esteem, throw it out the door with the other weekly trash, and start to grow the backbone for yourself and your kids, he injects them with his small minded stupidity, and his lack of  respect for you. Don't allow him to make a new generation of  men that show such small minded stupidity to women that love them. your not responsible for his stupidity but you will be part of theirs, if you let this continue.

 

when you do lose the weight, and you have even alittle self pride growing in you, then you won't want him any more, and if you do god help you, you will be worrying about your weight forever, and the worry won't come from you, thiking about health issues it will be worrying about what he is going to say about it, and you will be back in the same place. Find a real man, they are out there. but first get yourself together with some pride, so you can see the good guys and stop finding the bad guys.....

to each their own

Quote From: housewife52

IMO "in general" is too broad a statement.

Again, I think it's a fact, but that's okay we don't have to agree on it.

Donating my eggs for mothers day!

I am a single mother of 2 and my kids are the world to me.  While they are still young and can't give me gifts yet I was feeling sad that I wasn't going to be able to enjoy Mothers day.  After feeling down for a short time I figured I had to turn that around and what better way then to give.  So I contacted my Dr. and told her that for Mothers Day I would like to donate my eggs so that I could help give the gift of Motherhood to someone else.  It is amazing how good giving can feel.  I am nervous about the process however I will never forget this Mothers day.

Children are a blessing

Quote From: cndrlla

First of all, YOU ARE NOT DIRT!!

 

Unfortunately, not every woman who pops out a baby has the right to be called Mother.

That title is reserved for those of us who treasured each of our beautiful babies with whom we were blessed.........no matter how rough the road was.

 

I have three wonderful children who show me every day how much they love me.....because from the time they were born, up until this very moment, I have showed THEM how much I love them!  It's a lifelong process.

 

I am so sorry your mother......let me call her an "egg donor".......has given you so much grief...but, please..accept that this woman is mentally ill, and know that it's not your fault.

 

Surround yourself with those who DO love you.....and let the bad times go.

One day, your mother will have to answer to God for her failures.

First off let me tell you a little bit about my background. I am a 37 year old mother of two beautiful children.

I lost my husband in November of 2006 when he flipped a cement mixer he was driving. My husband died the day before our son turned 2 months old.

 

Both of my children have health problems. My 3 year old daughter has Epilepsy. Scary experience when she goes into seizures. My 20 month old son has Multi-Cystic Kidney Disease, and has already had one of his kidneys removed.

 

In spite of all the trials I have been through in the last year and a half I continue to love and raise my children. They are a blessing to my given to my by God. He chose me to raise these two beautiful children on my own for a reason. I am not sure what that reason is but I do not resent my children for that.

 

I have went back to school to get a degree so that I can find a well paying job that has good insurance benefits. I do not want to have to depend on Medicaid for their medical care. Working at a job that pays anywhere from $7.00-9.00 doesn't make it because one of my daughter's medications is over $7,000.00 for 15 doses.

 

Despite those hardships mentioned above I survive and provide for my children the best that I can. My children are a blessing to me. I love them without condition and they love me. I know there will be more tough times ahead as they grow older, but with the help from God and my love they will live to lead productive lives and raise happy healthy families of their own.

 

To all the mothers out there I wish them a very happy Mother's Day.

 

Melissa

I was the singing mom from mama drama.  I feel the need to stick up for Jessica and all these post about her.  A big thing with any weight gain is stress.  When the person you are in love with and desperately need support from and reassurance that you are beautiful constantly puts you down it makes it very hard to lose that weight.  I'm sure everyone who has had children had someone encouraging them.  Sometimes it is very hard to loose weight after pregnancy and even harder when the pregnancies are back to back.  Jessica I am so proud that you have already lost 20 pounds good for you.  I'm sorry he's still being difficult.  It's hard when there is no support but you have to continue.  You are beautiful and don't listen to him.  Maybe you should try counseling.  Seems to me that he may need some professional help.  Don't let his words and actions take away what you have been working hard for.

05/09 Mama Drama

Quote From: hulagirl1

I'm not presumptious, and my statement isn't about what you think men should think, it's about what I think they do think. I didn't say it was right, I just said it was so. Whether you like it or not, or know it or not, doesn't change a thing.

Just because YOU think men think that way, doesn't make it so....whether you like it or not, or know it or not....doesn't change a thing.

05/09 Mama Drama

Quote From: gwarrior6

More fat abusers? How depressing! Society has been grooming this abuse for some time- skinny is chic, skinny is healthy, heroin addict is the 'ideal look'. You can't even have a natural pair ofC-cups (male or female) anymore without being labeled a 'fatty'. We got the message, carrying around extra weight isn't healthy/aesthetic, quit hammering the indoctrination of fat-hate into the general public. The importance of beauty is just the symptom of a fallen society.

Jessica's husband is the pig here, not her. It's hard to lose weight after having a baby, maybe HE should gain 30 lbs and take some estrogen pills and see how hot HE looks! It's hard even when you excercise, eat right, and breast feed. If appearance is the only reason that he married her, then no wonder he's so disappointed,because that's all the relationship was based on. If he's that worried aboutit, why doesn't he PAY for the plastic surgery? Until then, he needs to shuthis mouth andget HIMSELF in shape.

Yah, I agree Jessica's husband is the pig.  Donuts to dollars he was one of those 'pretty boys' in high school who lots of girls worshipped, but the girls with any sense saw through his facade.

 

I do have to wonder, though, if he didn't pick on her before they even got married.  A bullying, self centered ***** is going to be a jerk about a lot of things.  I agree with Dr. Phil...Jessica needs to grow a backbone and stop allowing this kind of behavior from him.

 

If he had any shame and compassion, he wouldn't be doing this to her.  It gives me the willies to even think even touching someone like him.

Mama Drama - Jessica

I find it disgusting that her husband treats Jessica the way he is for being fat. Calling her names is definitely not making her feel good and she may eat because of it.  She is his   wife and the mother of his children. Have some respect, hombre!

 

I hope he changes his ways, otherwise she would be better  off without him. It looks as if he wants a sex object not a life companion. She must make an effort to lose weight though for her own good health.

Dr Phil can help.

 

Wishing you all the best Jessica.
