I think she looks hard because she is. Grew up kind of fast Had a baby young, etc. I like seeing her with Eddie. He has really tamed her and made her a nicer person. Tamed her? lol People don't tame each other hopefully. I think his calm, no drama persona has rubbed off on her in a good way. If he doesn't react to her drama, there ceases to be a payoff in exhibiting it.

I am so not interested in watching or hearing about the new housewives and their kids or the woes of raising toddlers. It's just too boring. Emily's hubby reminds me of that wacko Peggy's hubby. If my husband yelled at my guest to leave, I would be livid. And if his point was that kids are trying to sleep, why is he yelling? I love how Gina is getting the rap for being loud. ugh may I introduce you to Vicki and Tamara?I think their r pushing a false myth since she is from Long Island.. New Yorkers are loud(no louder than any other state) Tamara claims Shannon does not support her enough. I wonder if that's really true. Friendships usually have patches when one, out of crisis or need, demands more time, attention. I have noticed that T gets very resentful easily and often when she gives support. She sounds supportive but then makes very snarky remarks about that person in the interview section on the show. And not just about Shannon.
T is hard to like because she is crude, low class, snarky and not very bright. Do any of these women ever read books??? I thought the conversation between T and her mom about Shannon's spousal support was icky. Talk about jealousy? Sorry guys but it's based on assets and income. Her decision to be a stay at home mom was mutual. She is entitled to it. They were internalizing the amount based on their income...sorry..doesn't fly. T's mom is also very low class. These r trailer folks.

here is what bugs me about divorces in general. BTW I am a retired professional who worked her whole life & went through a divorce when I was in my early 30s..no kids.
When two people marry and they decide to have kids and believe strongly, and can afford it, that they want one parent to be the stay-at home, not work outside the home person... and then the parent who has been providing the financial support decides to leave against the desires of the at home parent, then GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
That was, for all purposes, a contract struck between those parents. And it's not just hey go get a job. That spouse has given up all those years of not only establishing a career, but the benefits that come with advancement. So I don't want to hear anyone(not you guys of course!!!! lol) bemoan spousal support.

I think it's an understandable thing to say about kids - especially when she's being open about how she struggles to manage them at times. Motherhood is a fantastic wonderful and rewarding thing. It's also an exhausting, demanding, and painful thing. For many years, there seemed to be a lot of pressure on women to tell all the wonderful and glowing things, and never let on that sometimes they didn't want to do it. I'm glad that's changing, and I'm willing to embrace anytime that women will speak up and say it when they're in a place of not loving it ... and sometimes what isn't loved is the current behavior or attitude of kids!

I'm glad that's changing, and I'm willing to embrace anytime that women will speak up and say it when they're in a place of not loving it ... and sometimes what isn't loved is the current behavior or attitude of kids! Well I had/have 2 sons and you would have NEVER heard me EVER refer to them as "G - D" KIDS...ever. Yes, (back in the day) I had many trying, long, exhausting days with them BUT it was my choice to have them and with that comes CRAZY DAYS as well as AWESOME DAYS!!! I also have a BOAT LOAD of friends......besides 5 bros and sis' and NEVER have I ever heard my family or friends refer to their kiddos as "G - D" kids. THAT is why I was so shocked when Gina said that. Why would Emily need her hubby to leave work to care for their kiddos .... why not get a nanny or a sitter come for the afternoon???? I went out allot with my GF's and I always had a pile of sitters I could call on whether it was day or not .... I would never ask my hubby to leave work "early" to babysit so I could chill with my GF's???? My kiddos always looked forward to their sitters as they would have a blast with them, whether it was going to the movies, getting a pizza or just staying home playing video games with them. I kept my hubby's sitting for "weekend away" trips with my GF's to watch the boys!!! Oh and that place the ladies were having afternoon drinks into evening in HUNTINGTON BEACH is at the brand new PASEA HOTEL called TANNERS!!! I have been there and its breath-taking the views of Huntington Beach!!! meritagecollection.com/pasea-hotel

I’ve been to that bar too, and stayed at the hotel! It’s fantastic!
I recognize that use of the phrase G D is controversial on its own. Some find it highly offensive and others see it as merely expressive. Gina comes across to me as one who finds it simply expressive. I think she had a moment of admitting to the frustrations of parenthood and I can roll with that. I will also choose to roll with the idea of a father babysitting his own kids. In my book, that can’t happen. A father has responsibilities to caring for his kids so if he does that when his wife isn't around id prefer to call it parenting to babysitting. Goes to show different people use different terms.

Here we go again with Kelly being a mean drunk..smh..
I actually agree with Tamra this time..Shannon is all about herself. She's shown that time and time again..and I'm not buying she injured her foot. I bet she did that for attention.
I,like Emily, would have defended my husband...

Shannon suddenly needing a cart just like Tamara's was kind of creepy! I thought Tamara handled it well, but it was really odd when she was using it and said she had not been to the doctor yet.
Kelly ... I think that whenever she utters the words "I've only had one drink" you know there's trouble coming! It seemed like she arrived at the party determined to stir up drama. First she tried with Vicki over Steve and failed (Kudos to Vicki for the nonchalant way she just said "There are lots of other people here - talk to them") and when that didn't happen she kept searching for someone to stir it up with until she found a taker.

Gosh, Kelly was out of line on so many levels. I thought Shannon hurting her ankle and having the boot was hilarious. I'm glad she spoke to Tamra. Emily's husband is creepy, but I can see what he thought of drunk Kelly. Vicki and Steve, he doesn't want to marry her, and she asked for George Clooney and got him, he also creeps me out. I see so many red flags, he's a controlling jerk, but Vicki needs a man, any man. Tamra( drunk) asking all the sex questions,not funny, so embarrassing.

I thought it was fascinating when Vicki told Gina that if she had it to do all over again, she would have fought harder for her marriage. I think that Vicki gets lost in image a lot of the time - both the image she thinks she's portraying to others and her own image of what she wants her life to be. Donn didn't fit that image so she though he was disposable. Now compared to Brooks and Steve she's realizing he was a really good guy - but she'll hold on to Steve because she thinks that having someone is better than standing on her own. Sadly, I think if she'd learn to stand on her own, she'd be MUCH better in a relationship. She also threw me when she claimed that she had raised her kids entirely on her own. We didn't see all of her kids lives, but have seen them since they were teenagers, and Donn was VERY involved in helping to raise them as a step dad. She was not on her own, and the way she talked back then made it sound like Donn had been very active with them for a long time.
I give Tamra props for how honest she was with Shannon about needing support. I think that Shannon did a lot to prove Tamra's point in the way that even in that moment, she was struggling to not make it about her.

I thought Shannon and Tamra worked things out. Last season Shannon was there for Tamra. I find nothing fascinating about Vicki, only sadness, that she needs a man, any man, to fill up her love tank

On top of little bitch she called him a dork, a loser, a little twerp, a little p***y. Now of course she overreacted but this is why Kelly Dodd is the gift that keeps on giving.

The OC women seem especially intolerant of husbands who try to be a part of the show themselves. It's okay for the ones like Eddie who are just supporting players who appear to be kind to a wife. But when a man wants to be seen as key to the show himself - like Slade or Terry - the OC women are NOT having it! I see Emily's husband trying to go down that road, and I think he's going to regret it.

ITA about kids on the shows. I don't like them being on, and I don't like the screaming and acting up thing in general. It's very annoying. The women are bad enough. Kelly reminds me more and more of Brandi from BH every time she gets drunk & ugly and attacks somebody. I think the hubby is a bit weird, he strikes me as being very uncomfortable in general, a hard person to deal with. HOWEVER....Kelly has no class at all. You just don't say things like that to a guy at a party you are a guest at. But then, she does this all the time, with little care as to who she insults. She just blows up, and I think she deserves to be ostracized rather than forgiven and supported every time she has a fit. The women didn't seem to appreciate her much the first season she was on, but I guess they get used to these things and just accept them. Some, like Brandi, go over the top and are just tacky and classless drunks. She's probably rewarded for her ugly behavior by Bravo too, in a way. I think it's pathetic that this stuff is just accepted these days.
Yet I continue to watch, as always. Lol.

I don't like Kelly when she drinks, she gets very mean. I liked seeing Shannon going on a date, why not. I felt sorry for Gina, but by the second episode, who didn't know something was wrong.? Vicki and Steve, can she just shut up about marrying the guy!

I enjoyed Shannon's date too. While I don't think that guy was perfect for her, it was fun to see Shannon react to being treated well by a man who was looking out for her.
