(Original Air Date: 12/09/05) It's Ask Dr. Phil and Robin day! When they say "anything goes," the guests take full advantage. Melissa says her sex life is boring, and that it's all her husband, Spencer's, fault because he is too uptight. He says he's tired of being a piece of meat. Can they meet in the middle when it comes to the bedroom? Next, Russell says his daughter, Nyla, is a piano-playing prodigy. His wife thinks he's pushing Nyla too hard -- especially since she's only 7 months old! Then, a mother and her teenage stepdaughter compete to see who can eat less in order to lose weight, and Robin tries to set them straight. And, a mother fears for her 13-year-old daughter, Kelli, who drinks, smokes and is missing curfew. See what Dr. Phil has planned for Kelli. Plus, go backstage and get a sneak preview of Dr. Phil and Robin hosting the JCPenney Jam Concert for America's Kids, and learn how this organization is working hard to provide kids with opportunities after school. Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

I agree with you...

Quote From: bsboop

I agree that it's everyone's choice as to what they do during labor and delivery. If you are in pain, there are meds for that purpose. I just don't understand why most people in the audience gasped when the woman stated she had missed her epidural because she was watching Dr. Phil. Imagine! Missing an epidural when you had full control over when you get to the hospital. It sounds like it was her problem and not Dr. Phil's.

The other issue is the whole natural childbirth vs. drugs during labor and delivery. My son was born without any drugs and if possible, I'll do the same with our 2nd child. I felt fabulous afterwards and to me, pain is a just part of it. It's mind over matter. I knew there were pain meds available to me if I wanted them but by the time pain go to that point, I was complete and ready to deliver.

Why should someone be rewarded for choosing a certain method of birth? It was her choice not to go to the hospital right away too - just as much as it was my choice to not take any pain meds.

I agree with you! I totally don't understand the whole rewarding her for that!!! How about the THOUSANDS of women every day who CHOOSE to give birth without an epidural. 8 years ago, that was my choice.... and actually, I was told that labor goes faster for women who have their babies without an epidural because you're better able to focus the push....
Oh well.... good job suckering Dr. Phil into giving you something....

12/09 Ask Dr. Phil & Robin

Quote From: juliet10

That chick Melissa that wanted to have sex on the side of the road was ridiculous. She came across as a Lucy Ricardo type trying to be sexy to turn on her husband, but failing miserably. I can see why her husband was cringing. I was cringing along with him. Vaccuming naked, and grabbing her husband's butt at the restaurant was a good example of ridiculousness. She needs to calm down and stop trying to be a porno actress or a girl in a victoria's secret commercial because it isn't working.

I don't know that I agree with you.... as a woman who is married to an absolutely wonderful man who happens to have a very low sex drive... I can understand where Melissa was coming from. As a matter of fact... I can probably tell you that she got the ideas from Cosmo... because I've read articles that suggest the same things.

Wanting and needing to feel desired by your husband is very natural and normal - and when it doesn't happen - you feel desperate and willing to do whatever you can to make it better. She wants her husband to WANT her.

I grab my husbands butt all the time... discreetly - but it's just to remind him that I am still the "girl" he married - not just his wife and the mother of his child...

Don't be so judgemental if you don't know where she's coming from!

Size 12 is great

Since when is size 12 big? I'm 5'7", have a med/lrg bone structure, naturally toned/muscular build, weigh 155 and look great! I would look weird at size 5. Size 7 is really thin for me. Size 9-13 are average for me.

It depends on the person's body type, physique and age....someone could look like a million bucks and weigh 160 and wear size 14. Female body builders, for example. Show me someone who's in better shape than a body builder. I've seen some floppy fannies and dull-figures walking around in size 5's. They may be thin, but being a size 5's no guarantee that they look good or look "hot."

12 to 14 is the average size in America today. Depending on height and bone structure it is not that large of a size.

She needs to do something. Make a change - and so does he. Seems like they are just downright incompatible. Did they have sex before marriage?

Question

Does anyone know if this show is a repeat from a show earlier this year.

A lot of Dr. Phil shows lately are nothing but repeats of shows that where aired earlier this year.

Watching the repeats of Dr. Phil is like watching the same episodes over and over again of Dr. Phil. There's not anything wrong with it, but it really gets BORING

Quote From: ojellod

You can't be serious!! A woman gives birth to her FOURTH child after a 4 hour labor without an epidural and gets lifetime TIVO, a plasma TV and a day at the spa??? She didn't develop a cure for AIDS for God's sake! Come on! Millions of women go through childbirth without drugs everyday and live to tell about it! Really! I gave birth to two children after only 8 hours of labor each, no drugs, and my reward was a speedy recovery, two beautiful kids, and that was enough for me. I felt great afterwards that I had accomplished something everyone had told me to "dread." (i.e. the "pain" of childbirth!!) Come on Dr. Phil; let's encourage and empower women, not treat them like weaklings who should be pampered for doing what many of us do without even thinking about it. Good grief! Why do you think they call it LABOR??

I could not agree more. Think about all the billions of women since the beginning of the world who have given birth naturally, and the countless numbers who still do today. No doubt, it was very nice for Dr. Phil to do what he did for this woman, but you know, maybe I'd like a spa day for performing another natural bodily function - how about a spa day for going to the bathroom?

Most shows take breaks during the summer.

and what you call boring could be a breath of fresh air to others, in fact its good to see shows of all types, dr phil covers the board and relly gives all of us a very wide varritey of shows to watch, if you find a show too boring to watch maybe try changing chanels as many people do, lol looks like your up to date on what a re run is lol it is in deed the same show over and over lol have a good day and a better tomorrow.
