I agree. Although I am a Catholic woman born and raised and I stayed home and raised 6 sons, I don’t believe these stereotypes are inclusive of everyone. One of my grandmothers was also a stay at home mother, the other one was an aircraft worker and according to anyone who worked at the plant with her, she was the best damn mechanic Lockheed ever had. To your other point, one of my sons is gay and he and my wonderful son in law do just fine.

My Grandma’s name was Jimmy ?. She was born and raised in Louisiana. The sweetest, kindest woman I’ve ever known. She always wished her name was Jamie, I think it must be some sort of regional thing. Anyway, I haven’t commented on this show in a long time. I also noticed how she drops the “voice” when she’s mad. If I were her, I would be embarrassed for my MIL to see me on television the way she acts.

You made me laugh!! Everytime Peggy starts talking about something being important in the Armenian Culture, I always think to myself, "ya, ya, that's not important to anyone else. What about breathing? Is that important in Armenian culture?" She just annoys me so far.

I thought Bethenny and Carol getting acupuncture was nice but I wish Bethenny would stop with her Luann comments. Then again the they walked into the restaurant. I understand they don't like each other, but does she really have to say so many insulting things when Luann has nothing to do with whatever it is that Bethenny is doing at the moment?

Kelly has several books on Amazon including fiction novels, so it baffles me why Carole can't come up with something.

The bolded is exactly right. My family has a few different camps and they all fight with everybody. But no one outside the family better say shit about it. I can talk whatever shit I want about my brother, but no one outside can and the whole family will back him up even though everybody thinks he's an idiot with no redeeming qualities. That's probably what the elder Gorgas want their family to be like too. My Mexican grandmother used to say if you mess with one bean, you get the whole burrito.

I will admit I laughed during the fight in the restaurant. It was like, "YOU STUPID PHONY BITCH, Uh waiter, I'll have a cola thank you, YOU'RE A PHONY BITCH". Then I think Dolores said to the waiter, yeah, we're Italian like it explains everything. Made me laugh

This is what I thought but better said than I could have. Watching Siggy say that if she can make up with Jac and Melissa why can't she make up with Kathy and Rosie, I had to say, maybe because between those two and her husband going away, and everything else she has piling on her she's at her limit of what she can handle. If they really care about her and want a relationship then maybe they should have just said, you know what Teresa, we love you and want you in our lives when you are ready, no pressure. The way they are going about it is too much

I would think they need the help with as much as they have to be away for filming events, and trips and such.

I don't think he's trying to make it sound like something sexual. I think he's trying to get across to her that he doesn't like it, maybe it makes him uncomfortable at his age and she's not hearing him. It's not a sexual thing, it's just what happens when your kids grow up. They don't want mom hanging on them like that anymore.

I think so. That's sad. I hope she's doing better.

If I wanted to make peace with a family member, I wouldn't just show up at her book signing. I would have talked to her in private, away from cameras, and outside people. But that's just me. I'm not trying to be on a reality tv show.

I never thought she was physically ugly either, just her actions.

Laughing at this conversation because I think they are terrible at multitasking unless it's something they want to do. I could cook dinner, know exactly what each of 6 boys were doing, help with homework and make sure the dogs weren't tearing anything up all at the same time, but my husband couldn't watch tv and one of the kids at the same time. I have actually repaired holes in drywall in our house that he started but couldn't finish because something else came up. But you better believe his car and garage are spotless and organized. haha

I snipped your post for space. This part, I don't have a problem with what you are saying here, but it's not just Luann that does this. I have known a few women who's husbands cheated on them and every single one of them stayed with their husbands and blamed the other woman. Even the ones who said that if there husbands ever cheated they would dump him in a minute and take all his shit. Even they blamed the other woman, and then proceeded to blame female porn stars, prostitutes, and female co-workers who may have looked at their husbands wrong or may have flirted with them. I worked in manufacturing and I saw a lot of things going on, it happens. I think it's the embarrassment, humiliation, and hurt talking.
