I dont think that anyone should get married until they are 30. These are 2 young kids barely wet behind the ears. Women fall prey to men's fallacies about I want you to have my kids..... We will be a family...... it will be great ...... well true to an extent. What they dont tell you is that you are going to do most of the work that is 24-7 and he is gonna sit around with his hand down his pants, drinking a beer and watching the game. I am not an idiot and didnt fall prey to that. I have 1 child she is 6 , I would NEVER  have more under any circumstance. People stop trying to put on a front of this great family when we know what it is - a joke. Having kids is a ton of work, responsibility, money etc. I am somewhat lazy , I am not dealing with a man and multiple kids all day. No way ! I cannot stand to deal with a bunch of kids. I like mine and thats about it. These women who have kids at 19, 20 , and so on are the same women who in their 30's feel like they missed out and start running the streets trying to recapture their youth. Have a realistic plan for your life. Stop living in la - la land. Whats new gets old.

The first mom hasn't been working that long to even know what work and raising kids is. Ya I'm sure it's not fun when your husband doesn't come home through the week/weekend until late. But more then likely you knew that when you had your first kid. Same with the 2nd mom ... Why were you on the show if your "not complaining?" you didn't want a career path you wanted to "raise kids". There's plenty of time through the day that wasn't accounted for through the show for "you time". I feel as though you wanted some TV time for people to feel sorry for you? Give your husband some control or do you have to control him as well? .. I can tell th

I may not have 10 kids but I do have 5- 4 of which are under 5 and you learn to multitask! I can cook, sweep the floor , care for my kids and keep my eye on the tv all at the same time......or how about dvr~ yup I record stuff and watch it while i fold the mountains of laundry. What complete bs that you think if we have time to watch a lil tv we arent overworked !!!!!

Maybe the Dr. Phil show should start advocating birth control? Vasectomy? Hysterectomy? You play,you pay. Funny how people can still find time to keep their pants down. Irresponsible people shouldn't be pro-creating.

Look at the commercials you see daily on TV. They're still sexist and the roles are nearly always gender biased. The father is clueless about doing anything remotely domestic and the mother is always the one who cooks, cleans, and gets the kids ready for school, and acts like she LOVES it.  I've even seen a commercial where a mother is busy slathering bread with cocoa-hazelnut-spread in the morning because apparently her TEENAGE son and daughter have no idea how to do it themselves! When my brother and I were still in elementary school we would get up and pour ourselves some cereal and maybe a glass of milk or juice while our parents were still asleep!  And my father always did his share of the chores and responsibilities and still does. If my mom is working late, he cooks supper. They've been married for a very long time now.  But it appears that very few other families are aware of this type of living. It was only a few decades ago that ads in magazines and on TV were a lot more blatantly sexist, even calling women "dumb" or encouraging domestic violence. But nothing has really changed at all. My parents fortunately still seem immune to it. And since my dad normally does household chores he can do the traditionally romantic things like give my mother sweet cards that he actually picked out himself!

My all-time biggest pet peeve is when husbands call doing housework “helping out”.  “Helping out” makes it sound like everything dealing with housework and child rearing is automatically entirely the wife’s responsibility.  What century are they living in?  And Dr. Phil, you did nothing to enlighten the husbands to the fact that because the marriage is a partnership, and since they both live in the house and have children together, all work at home is shared responsibility whether the wife works outside the home or not.  Husbands and wives may choose to divide the work however they want, but for a husband to say he is “helping out” his wife by taking out the garbage or giving his child a bath is patronizing and WRONG!  The husband doing work in the house or taking care of the kids is simply taking on his responsibility, not “helping out”. 

And BTW, my second biggest pet peeve is when husbands call staying with the kids while the wife is out “babysitting”.  It’s not babysitting; it’s called taking care of the kids.  Babysitting is what people other than the parents do while the parents are out.

He is just an entitled jerk. He works so he doesn't have to do anything.  The problem with that thinking is if Mom is doing everything AND working, she's figuring out slowly that there is no need for a husband.  It's sad for the kids, but when you make yourself irrelevent, you have no one else to blame.

I was disappointed in the lack of help these couples received.  I think the first husband is the one that was immature not his wife. I also had a husband who came and went as he wished while I had a full time job outside the home and did everything inside the home with the kids as well.  We are  now separated. Surprise!  I didnt see where the help was given for these couples though Dr. Phil.  The first wife needs to speak up and not allow her husband to try and "rule the roost" or she will end up like I did, separated !

I did however love Dr. Phil's comment about if one spouse is getting everything they want from the marriage and the other is not, it will end up in divorce.  This is where mine will end as I always gave in and accepted his bad behaviour and the one time I finally spoke up it ended in separation.

I do not see where these women were helped at all. The show turned into a plug for Robin's involvment with Open Sky. Shame on you Robin and Dr. Phil.

I had to shut this show down. The guest was a fan of the show (has seen every episode), and it seemed like an effort was made to make something out of nothing. So, pick up a few toys off the floor, big deal. For a better show, just bring on a girl with a black eye, and the show will work without effort. There are plenty of abused people who could have been on. Overwhelmed and frazzled. Give .... me .... a ...... break. I bet alot of people would love to have a house like that and alot of them would find a way to not be overwhelmed, OR they wouldn't whine about it.
