Grant needs a wake up call!  Make him run the house for three days without any help from his wife.  His first priority is to make sure the children are taken care of and then he can do the house work.  When his wife gets home from his job, Grant can have dinner ready and she can tell him how he did.  I would hope she would be as hard on him as he is on her.  I can't believe Dr. Phil didn't tell him that he is not living up to his part as a husband.  How would he feel if his wife didn't wear her ring?  I just want to screem at Grant and Dr. Phil!

I agree it's not that he is wrong or she is right. If they discussed the roles that each would have in their marriage then there wouldn't be a problem. I know plenty of marriages like this where the man does the outside chores and the woman the inside. Here we have another woman who has been influenced by feminist. Did you see them all trying to empower ( indoctrinate is more like it ) her at  the retreat? I could just imagine what these feminist were saying off the air. Were gonna fix you so, you won't need him anymore. You don't need him. He is a pig. Your the boss, not him. The problem here is she does these duties around the house not because of her love and devotion to him. But, out of fear of his tounge. The tounge lashing she will get from him if she doesn't do it. So, both are wrong. Another feminist in disguise that wants it both ways. We will see how happy she is as a single mother all by herself out there. Not only will she have to clean house and cook for herself. She will have to maintain the repairs on the house, mow the lawn. Keep the vehicle maintenanced. And a whole host of other things that she took for granted that her husband did without a second thought. Car mechanics will take advantage of her ignorance. So will home repairmen. I think the husband should be nice to her and that she should do her house work willingly and out of love. And then if she does not do this. Then he will know that this was just a ploy to get him to do more housework. And to take her place as Queen like the Black woman who demeened him and the drill seargent white woman with lungs like bellows yelling at him. They humiliated him and they enjoyed it. We need to get back to our God ordained roles in the family and quit messing around with these experiments.

How did you get to help Dr Phil with this "male chauvinist pig intervention"  

This guy might be a jerk...OK he is.  BUT...I always have a tough time listening to women whine that they have to do everything around the house.  THIS IS ONLY DIRECTED AT 100% STAY-AT-HOME WIVES OR MOTHERS OF SCHOOL AGE OR OLDER KIDS.  I'M ASKING THAT YOU PUT ON YOUR RATIONAL HAT...BE REALLY HONEST WITH YOURSELF ABOUT HOW YOU SPEND YOUR DAY.  Well...if your husband is at work all day supplying the income that makes that house and everything in it possible...YOUR half of the bargain is cleaning the house and treating it like the job you want it to be considered.  It's called 'Division of Labor'. 

The big thing these days is to attach a dollar value to everything the stay-at-home does around the house. 

Well...how would you like it if your husband presented you with a BILL for what it would cost YOU to live in the same kind of house you live in...what it would cost YOU to pay your own utilities, food, clothing, healthcare, furniture, entertainment, you name it.  And you get to stay home to boot.  And all you have to do is hold up your end of the bargain.   

Does your husband ask you to come to his office and generate that quarterly P&R spreadsheet? Does he ask you to come to work and write sales proposals...does he ask you to come to his auto repair shop and rebuild a transmission?...and the 1,001 things a working man has to do to keep that roof over your head.  Well then...why do stay-at-home wives ask their husbands to come home from work and the political bullcrap he has to deal with there...and VACUUM !???  Why does he have to help you do your half of the work?   I'm a woman who wonders these things all the time.  I have respect for what I do...take pride in it...and see it as a trade off for not having to deal with a daily commute...office politics...and I TREAT IT LIKE A JOB THAT I ALWAYS LOOK TO IMPROVE UPON.  Just like the pressure my husband feels in his career to stay competitive...to survive corporate shake-ups...to improve HIS skill set so our lives can be supported.   It's a division of labor that keeps our little world turning smoothly.  Stop whining and be glad he doesn't present YOU with a bill for what HE does for YOU ! 

I'd like to ask Amy what her pay-off is.  I'd also like to know what she thinks would happen to Greg if he still didn't have a handle on his job after eight years.  

My house is twice the size of Amy's, yet it's spotless.  I have dinner ready to be served when my husband walks in, even though his schedule varies from day to day.  The laundry's caught up, I work out six days a week, and I still have time to watch Dr. Phil and yack on the internet.  What's the problem, Amy?
