Intervention for My Wife's Business: A Husband's Perspective

[Kristina21]

Greetings CS community, This is Kristi's husband.

I would like to start by saying that Kristi has gotten some good ideas and other information that is beneficial to her business, and we thank you all for that.

The problem is that she gets these "good ideas", and then does nothing with them because she is looking for more of them; and thus does nothing but sit here reading these forums, when she could be making calls or planning events.

It is because of this, that I have discussed with her an intervention. I have just changed her password and email for this forum, and will now be limiting/denying her access to them; for as helpful as they are, they are also proving to be a hindrance.

I hope in the future she will learn to manage her time a bit better and may have the abilities to work time on this forum into her schedule, without neglecting more important tasks.

With that said, I shall depart; and so shall she. Farewell for now.

Wow, that's got to be a first!!

 

[rennea]

Is this a joke?

 

[coriatc]

Wow...

 

[chefsteph07]

Wow, OK DAD.
I won't complain that my dh is overbearing from now on.

I certainly hope this is not for REAL.

 

[JAE]

It sounds real to me. She must have agreed to it. How else would he get her password? Not sure why she didn't write that message herself, but who are we to judge.

 

[AnnieBee]

Sounds like something my DH might need to do for me!!

 

[etteluap70PC]

Don't let my DH see this... He would do the same in a heartbeat!

 

[susanr613]

my goodness...we joke about needing an intervention...this time someone's gone and done it!

 

[pampcheflisa]

I don't know whether to laugh or say "Okaaaay".
I do most of CS surfing while at my day job (yes, I know, another topic), so I am not on too much at home. I can see how one might feel this way........but WOW!!!

 

[PChefPEI]

Woh! Not sure what to think of this one.....

 

[Kristina21]

I would like to add that this is not a joke, by any means. This is quite earnest. I have just installed FoxFilter, and will be adding this site exclusively to it's listing.

 

[chefmeg]

this is a new one one me..............not sure what to think~I would NEVER let DH actually post this if an intervention came down the pike for me!

 

[chefsteph07]

Whatever.
You should be glad you aren't married to me.

 

[rennea]

Whatever.
You should be glad you aren't married to me.

I kind of feel ill, this makes chills go up my spine.

 

[stacywhitlow]

Sounds a bit controlling to me. Not too sure what to think.

 

[chefshawna]

It sounds real to me. She must have agreed to it. How else would he get her password? Not sure why she didn't write that message herself, but who are we to judge.

Well, if she's like me, you don't have to type in password everytime you log on. Maybe he just logged on and changed it and then told her she couldn't get on anymore?? I think that's a little overbearing!

 

[pcchefjane]

Makes me glad I don't have a DH to fool with. Maybe she needed help in not being on here but it seems very cruel to post it publically! He could have come on or let her and said she was "taking a leave from here" and not be so embarassing!

 

[chefsteph07]

A BIT CONTROLLING? Just a bit?

I would seriously be out for blood if my dh ever thought of doing this to me.

I checked her other threads, she's got other recruits and seems to work her business, sorry if it's not what DEAR HUSBAND has in mind for her.

My DH has his moments, but he would NEVER do something like this in a million years.

just a thought, but couldn't you and Kristi have just discussed this among the two of you and decided to intervene without involving all of us? My thought is that would have been the grown-up thing to do~now you have opened up a whole can of worms for you and Kristi....what happens when she can come back to CS? Do we mention waht an overbearing so & so we think you are? How will that affect her business?

It's slightly creepy, but he wants his wife to succeed. i don;t know how many times i have heard at conferences that these forums can be a hinderance if you arent taking any action and just sittin chattin all the time.
I think that perhaps it would have been better coming from her though.
My hubby wouldn't dare! LOL.

 

[chefshawna]

After reading post 12 I'd say her DH is a real A**hole! I'm sorry, my DH could suggest all he wants that I stay off of this site or any other for that matter, but let him TRY to change my passwords and get on the site and announce to everybody that he is taking over!! I hope for her sake she can stand up for herself and do what SHE thinks is right without him having to take over!

My hubby respects me way too much to do something so demeaning! Can't wait for him to come home so I can tell him how much I love him!!!

You know the next step is she will be out of PC altogether.

Well alrighty then Mr. Kristy. We'll miss your wife and wish her success.

 

[stacywhitlow]

OK...it is more than just a bit controlling. Wonder what other things he controls. If anyone know her personally, please get in contact with her to make sure things are ok. He sounds like a royal donkey & I would hate for something more serious than PC to happen to her.

 

[pampcheflisa]

I guess my thoughts are that we are all adults and our actions should be held to our own accountability. For instance, I did not have any August shows, but the only person that is responsible for that is myself. There is nobody to blame, no excuses to be used. I have to hold myself accountable for that. If I was on this site to the point where I wasn't working my business, again, there is nobody to blame but myself. I guess there is a chance that he is trying to be "helpful" and is concerned about helping her succeed in her business, and this was just to let us all know why she wouldn't be on here anymore, but I still think it should be her decision.

 

[rennea]

You know the next step is she will be out of PC altogether.

Still worried and hope she is well. Very scary when somebody is so controlling and have gotten to the point were they are not worried what others will think. I have seen this so many times before.


Let's all pray and send good vibes to Kristina.

 

[chefsteph07]

I just checked her status and he/she is still on and viewing this thread...

 

[chefshawna]

I agree that if she wasn't working her business, less CS might be beneficial, but it should be her decision and I really don't think it is his place to announce it to the whole site that he is stepping in and making her get off!! That's the part that really ticks me off! Big BULLY!
