I think the woman camp is a great idea.  Women are always trying to "fix" their men, but you never see a guy go into counseling trying to fix his SO.  These women sound like they need a camp too, to work on how to react constructively to their husband's tirades, instead of throwing in the towel or finding a way out because they're unhappy.  The men have their own problems, but the women don't have to be powerless to change the relationship.

Hello,! I worked 60 hrs. a week  @ factory job while heavily pregnant (morning sickness and all) I'd like to see a man do that and give birth.. then we'll talk K?

By the way, I appreciate what my husband does (works full time) and he appreciates what I do work part-time and take care of three kids most of the household chores, all of the many and varied appts. and all the grocery shopping. I think what it boils down to is respect.

 I agree.  I thought the kitchen was way over the top.  I don't think they should have been responsible for cleaning it up, since it was set up.  My husband would have acted just like Scott.

Quote From: bgellinger

Love and Respect...It is a vicious cycle.  Yes, shame on the men for behaving the way they do and not showing there wives that they love them like they are suppose to do.  BUT, where is the respect.  I have been doing a lot of reading, studying and soul searching JUST IN CASE I ever do get married again.  I want to do it right the next time and one of the most powerful messages I have learned is that men were designed to feel the NEED to be respected just like women NEED to feel loved.  When a woman hears "I respect you but I do not Love you", is the same way a man feels when he is told "I love you but do not respect you".  There is no respect coming from the women at all, only disrespect and contempt.  Therefore making it impossible for the man to show love.  Of course, it is easier said than done and I am NO EXPERT by no means.  Hopefully they open their hearts and minds to what Dr. Phil has to say and the females can begin to show some respect and by doing so, they just might be surprised at the love they get in return.  (Women, You Have More Power Than You Think!)

Even though I am a woman and may sound like I am turning to the "dark side" lol....kidding....I think there needs to be some equality when it comes to showes like this. There are just as many female abusers out there and they need to be called on it.  Just because we are considered the weaker sex, does not mean that we do not have women out there that give the rest of us a very bad name (and after watching the show I certainly know of one or two). 

 

A woman who is constantly yelling at her husband or throwing things or cheating is just as bad as a man who does those same things. I think we need to be fair about all of this. A woman camp show is very good idea!

I just have to say that we TIVO Dr. Phil daily so my DH and I can watch together after our littles go to bed.  Watching the Man Camp together made us so sad!  But, I have to say... after a previous failed marriage (for us both) we are both in this marriage for the long haul and watching this show has made me SOOOO GRATEFUL!!!  It's like a flashback to years wasted... that's for sure.  But during commerical fast forwards, I just grab my DH and hug him and tell him how much I appreciate that he's my PARTNER!!!  I think the reason for these types of shows is not so we can be voyuers but so we can learn, appreciate and wake up!  I hope that these couples find their peace for their families - together or apart.  Way to Go Dr. Tell It Like It IS!

Quote From: wyomom4

I think that the mess that the women made was way overboard.  I have 4 kids and a husband that don't help me clean up but they never leave a mess like that.  I am sure that the wives have never came home to a house that messy.  When the man left and said that it was a game, I totally agree what was that suppose to solve? I would feel bad doing that to someone let alone my husband. I think Dr. Phil went in the wrong direction with that one, and if the wives were honest they would admit that the husbands do not smear ketchup on things and throw food everywhere.  It was a game.

Who say the very first episode of Man Camp??

 

Can you tell me who sent in the letters to Dr. Phil. The men or the women?

Ok how mad am I that some woman in an awful situation would JUDGE another woman in an awful situation!@! ARG... I know the show hasn't aired yet but there I am watching the preview and eating my tuna cheese sandwich thinking how glad I am that I could  Leave even with  kids and get away from the chaos.  Now I can focus on my fantastic five and not worry about well eating my tuna and cheese in the living room when the Beast walks in with clouds and thunder. This big ole oaf would be on immediate "crumb patrol" with some retorhic about my tuna and cheese weight issue. <Snort ><Scratch Left Bumb Cheek>

 So to the stripper...

You can take care of yourself you can leave him anytime you want. You're wonderful and nobody whos allowed some man to cheat on her call her names abuse her and degrade her for 14 yrs should ever talk to you about pride.  Dr. Phil wants to help you figure out what you need in your life I understand that but I didn't like it  at all. Hey Dr Phil, doesn't she need some cash to gtf out? Are you funding her break up? THE GUY SAID SHE SHOULD HAVE ABORTED HER KIDS.  Her stripping is the least of the probs.  I'm sorry you find it morally evil or whatever. But as long as there have been men who wanted to see us naked there have been women who figured out 'I might as well get paid'.  Shes not a bad person stop embarrasing her on tv .  Maybe someday more men will evolve (holds breath) (passes out) but until that (hell freezes over) shes gotta get away from the Misrable Beast OH and lucky her, she can afford it.

 

Much Love,

 

Pri

 

PS Who's gonna pay for the greese stains on my tv where I through my tuna melt and the big haired blondes head.  Wanders away muttering <I have too much PRIDE for that> ladeeda.
