OK, so, I heard/read something mentioned that Scheana, due to OCD* issues, has a hard time caring for Summer without her mom's help, which would indicate that Scheana's mom is at their place a lot. Someone(s) here mentioned that might be the case, but all I'd heard/noticed on the show itself was that Scheana had a hard time using anyone other than her mom as a babysitter. So, Brock's ire does make more sense to me now (but I still think he could be -- or at least act like -- he is more patient about this issue Scheana's dealing with).
Oh my goodness, I am quoting myself like a loon because I used the asterisk, but forgot to type my footnote! It's not that important, but I wanted to throw in that I'm guessing that part of Scheana's diagnosis is harm OCD, which may be what's causing her to think she shouldn't care for Summer alone. Harm OCD is a real bitch to live with. It's terrible.
And I am also guessing that Scheana knows in a logical, commonsense way that she is perfectly capable of caring for Summer--she probably does it frequently, without even giving it a second thought. But when that second thought (and third and 654th...) does show up, there's the trouble. logic and common sense don't always win--that's part of it, your brain tells you that those things may not be real (and then the "what if" part starts). Again, I am speculating about how it feels for her, but not as a total bystander.

This is getting strange. The whole point of this site was to snark on shows. Then we have the small talk (within show topics) and chit chat threads like this for nice communication between posters. I don’t get what they want.
I don't get it either -- especially the need to split up the peeves into specific types of peeves. I feel like it ruins the flow of the conversation to have to reroute. And, to be honest, I don't want to be part of too many threads!
ETA: For example, I had a peeve that was a peeve regardless of the scenario/location; the instance I shared just happened to occur at a doctor appointment. I got a message saying that it had to be moved to the medical peeves or whatever it is. No one was mean about it or anything, but it seems not necessary.

I thought you were going to make fun of her because of her tiny non-visible tatts haha! I never understood the point of getting the tiniest tatt in a place no one is going to see. I'm proud of mine!
Haha! I mean, I don’t generally fault people for wanting to be able to cover them if they so choose, but sure — why not add that to my Kyle’s Tattoos Annoyances List? Ugh, they’re so faint and poorly applied!

Again I don’t even like Dorit but that doesn’t make Garcelle a saint in any of this.
But one doesn't have to be a saint to not want to be accused of attacking someone when she didn't. Again, everything else is beside the point of the "attack" thing.

But it doesn’t matter who started it .. who laughed with their husband that good job Erika then went home slept lived her life then got up got on camera for a talking head and said full chest “hey it’s not my child” so it’s ok?
that’s is ALL on Dorit
Right. And also, none of these extraneous occurrences and examples make a difference in the "attack" issue anyway; it's its own thing. Compiled previous infractions don't make one specific act any more or less bad (or good, for that matter).

I’m guessing the word attack didn’t trigger her as much as she says but it was an opportunity to put Dorit in her place and hint that she is racist and call her a Karen. I don’t think Dorit was trying to use a stereotype against Garcelle
I do not disagree with any of this. Obviously, we can't 100% know, so, really, who cares what I think, but I do have some (possibly misdirected) skepticism about how much of Garcelle's ire is escalated just because it's Dorit or because she needs/wants a story (or simply because these are housewives, and housewives are gonna housewife with whatever they've got). I also believe that Dorit is more ignorant* than she is overtly racist. Regardless, though, none of this makes Garcelle's point less valid or Dorit's word choice less problematic (I hate using that word -- it just gets on my nerves. But I couldn't get my brain to settle on a synonym).
*"Ignorant" meaning unaware as opposed to plain dumb -- basically the premise behind the concept of being "privileged." (And no one come telling me that Garcelle also is privileged, as money and beauty and fame and possessions are not what "privileged" is connoting in this instance).

But in HW world that’s not ever considered an “attack”. They simply fight with each other, or yell at one another and they all say they were “attacked”. So Dorit was correct there.
How does this make Dorit correct? Feeling attacked isn’t being attacked. And did she say that she felt attacked? Or did she say that Garcelle attacked her? There’s a difference, as Garcelle and people here mentioned.
I don’t think it was an attack, I don’t think Dorit was correct in calling it that, and I do think that people are being obtuse about what Garcelle is saying about the use of the word “attack.”

Do you us Amazon Fresh, Grub Hub, Doordash or something else?
Just our local Stop & Shop. But I will do an InstaCart when I am feeling lazy* and/or need just a few things, eg, like if we decide to have friends over and need some snacks and stuff.
*But not really; while I'm waiting for InstaCart with the guest snacks, I am probably cleaning and vacuuming...even though the friends are typically people I've known for decades and probably don't care about a little cat hair on the couch!

Also, I feel like the only person diminishing AnneMarie's career is AnneMarie. If she's proud of it, why obfuscate?

I thought AnneMarie was kind of yelling at Sutton in that instance. Definitely not wildly screaming like other instances we see in various RH shows, but also not speaking at a regular old default level. Maybe it was loud in there though -- that could be it, plus she is a bit of an over-enunciator too.

It isn't unacceptable for a white woman to tell a Black woman she is attacking her, if that is in fact what is happening. It is, however, problematic when a Black woman is calmly explaining something and a white woman, who doesn't like what she's saying for whatever reason, labels it as anger or an attack. That's what Garcelle was trying to explain. And it probably "triggered" her because it happens often to Black women in every space that we are in and particularly around certain white women. Just because you don't experience it or notice when it happens doesn't it mean it doesn't occur. And it also wasn't the first time that Dorit did something like this. Garcelle had every right to call her ass out on it, especially when the original point Garcelle was trying to make about her kids wasn't even directed specifically at Dorit, but rather to the entire group in general.
Thank you. Was there ever an instance during which Garcelle was, let's say, advancing toward Dorit (or anyone) in an aggressive manner? Walking angrily? Even just waving her hands around in an extra animated way? Does Garcelle even yell, outside of when they're all talking over each other? Does she even stand up from a chair or couch when she commits these "attacks"?
I seem to recall that a few of these chicks disputed Crystal's use of the word "violate," which made much more sense then than Dorit's use of "attack" now. (And, Dorit, if you simply have to use the word "attack," maybe just throw in a "verbally" or "figuratively," or, if you're feeling sassy a "metaphorically.")

And 12 hours later, stupid "Greased Lightning" is still in my head... (haha, "pussy wagon"!).

Believe me, you haven’t offended me; your post was just fine. My response was about the character of the type of people we’re discussing.

What? No — I don’t think you offended anyone! I think you were being generous by assuming people were being merely sensitive as opposed to bigoted.

Again, though, I think what they’re addressing in this episode is not questionable lyrics. It’s what some people (aka, bigots) find to be questionable people. This is not a resurgence of the PMRC label issue. It’s much worse. (Though I guess all of that does cause the school people to feel that they now have to be oversensitive to lyrics in order to avoid the shit-show that the bigots would bring.)
If it was about inappropriately mature lyrics, Rainbow Connection and the like wouldn’t be an issue at all. The rainbow is the issue. To the bigots.
i just remembered how much we listened to Grease when I was little. Yeesh — “pussy wagon” among other things, haha!

I get that school boards are nutty about every little thing these days, but Lanford is in Illinois, a solid blue state. I get the social commentary here but it may be slightly misplaced, geographically speaking
I think this show early on portrayed how people have gone from blue to red over the last X number of years (I know the actual number, but I feel like saying it explicitly might be inching up to a warn). And so has the reality surrounding the show’s former namesake.

Sure. But the current topic being addressed on this show is not about that; it’s about certain groups of people marginalizing other groups of people (by pretending to believe, and perpetuating the lie, that the latter harms children).

we've had these songs out for decades so what's the problem? people are just so sensitive these days
I would switch out the word “sensitive” with “bigoted.” Because the people who would get upset about a purported reference to a drag queen are not really sensitive to actual offensive things.

I still dislike her husband for telling her, to her face, that she's an 8.5 in every aspect. I want to punch him in the teeth for that.
It's so weird. If it's a little funny thing they have as a couple, OK. But it doesn't translate well to an audience as a cute anecdote, which could be because AnneMarie conveyed it in a very matter-of-fact way or is not a very engaging story teller.

How is Dancing Queen appropriate for six-year-olds, even if you don't think it's about a drag queen?
Speaking as someone who was almost 6 when this song was released, I can assure the world that I am perfectly fine regardless of having sung it.

She picked the easiest of the white women to go after.
Yikes. She didn't "go after" a white woman; she addressed something that a woman, who happens to be white, accused her of doing. The fact that she was annoyed is not proof of an attack. But we shouldn't need to have to spell this out.
(Just for perspective, I don't love Garcelle while hating Dorit. I find that both are OK in some ways, annoying in others, eg, Garcelle's ogling of men just makes me feel embarrassed, and I also think Dorit is sometimes pretty funny.)

S13.E18: Reunion Part 1
in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
I think Erica was far wronger than the people who laughed! I would laugh too; I always laugh at inappropriate things -- or, more clearly, at people who are doing inappropriate things. I would for sure be laughing at, not with, Erica using profanity at a young kid for no good reason. I would also be telling het to cut the shit too, but her bad behavior (not the belittlement of the kid) would still be funny to me.
And I may laugh at that situation later when recalling it too (though I would try my best not to if I were on TV, so as not to make the kid feel bad). I've always been this way -- my sister, on the other hand, can keep a damn straight face while provoking me to laugh when I should not be -- weddings, toasts, speeches... Joke's on her though; once she fell down on ice and actually got a little bit hurt, nothing too horrible. I felt bad for her, but I laughed when she described it to me. Her face just said, "My mistake; I should have known not to tell you this."
