The Real Housewives of New Jersey

I don't know now anyone could put up with Theresa , I imagine the toy boy has the same IQ as her..

HM! Media is saying Juicy Joe will be detained by ICE as soon as he gets out of prison on March 14. No time to pack Joe.

I've said this before...Teresa hates Melissa. She only tolerates her...if I were Melissa I would never speak to her again. She's toxic.

Hot head...just like her brother.

Teresa is toxicly jealous of Melissa. I think that's the core of the problem. Until Melissa came into Joe's life, Teresa was the center of attention in the family. Everyone looked out for her and took care of her. Then Melissa came along, Joe's priorities changed, and Teresa doesn't have the capacity to handle it. To me, that shone through loud and clear last night when Melissa was answering questions about the possibility of having another sister. She was genuine and honest about the whole thing, and it was nice. But it had nothing to do with Teresa, and Teresa could not handle that. So she had to jump in and make it about her talking about how hard it is on her kids to be away from their dad. Really, I think that Teresa's issue with Jackie is the same thing. Jackie joined the cast and was a closer friend of Melissa than Teresa. It's not a surprise - Jackie and Melissa are more alike. But in Teresa's mind, that's choosing someone other than her and she can't handle that sort of "rejection".
Melissa will be an enemy in Teresa's eyes for as long as she lives her life and accepts love and attention when it comes her way. Teresa doesn't understand that love is not in finite supply, so whenever Melissa (or anyone else) gets some, she thinks it's at her expense.

I think they both should. Jackie didn't get off to a great start, but I think she's got potential and I like the friendship between her and Melissa. And Jennifer is not someone I'd want to have as a friend, but I think she fits the bill for housewife material very well. She's willing to stick her foot in her mouth, and she's entertaining for it.

I hope Jackie comes back...Jennifer? Nah...

Oh, this is a gem!  This is a great way to start my day, with a little news of the weird and wacko!

I read this on Facebook this afternoon in between errands. I sat in my car at the grocery store parking lot and yelled “WTF??!!”

Apparently there is one man on this planet who isn’t aware of who she is or her character. Or maybe they both think they will get a reality show about their relationship. 

Her vajajay must be made of platinum or her bj’s are miraculous because she’s got NOTHING going for her.

i want to see Margaret’s reaction to this news. 

No way did she write a book! 
She was prettier when she was younger, now she looks a bit manly.  Maybe she needs a man in her life, other than her father! 

And TMZ is now reporting Danelle won’t be getting married tomorrow as planned. Apparently her daughters ‘aren’t having it.’ Shocker! LOL

I agree that from what little we do see, her daughters do seem rather normal. I do worry about the impact of the second thing you said - which I also think is true. They do seem rather protective of her. But at their ages, isn't that backwards? Shouldn't they be feeling totally protected by their mom, instead of feeling a responsibility to protect her? A healthy level of care and protection felt from a child to a parent is okay. But when it crosses over to the kid feeling an obligation to the parent, I think that causes problems. They should be allowed to be kids at their ages. When they reach middle age and Danielle is older and in need of care, the obligations transfer. But now - they should be kids. It seems like Danielle has raised them to prioritize her - just as she expects her friends and fiancees to do. They shouldn't have to exist to validate her.
