Wouldn't it be funny if Jolie told Kelly she wants to live with Michael instead with her and Grandpa Rick? 🤣 -
Jade...OMG...she never shuts up. She doesn't receive...just bulldozes over anyone who is talking to her. She and Sean just don't jibe well at all. She isn't tactful at all with him and just lets loose on his failures and shortcomings. His response is reactive amd ultimately angry and explosive. I just don't see any hope for them as successful co-parents for Kloie if they don't get some professional help.

I hear what your saying but I disagree with Kelly's point of view. Women should not bear any guilt or anxiety over reporting a domestic violence situation for fear that their abuser won't be able to find work because they pressed charges. That just gives the abuser an easy out with no consequences for their abusive behavior. Gina may have to work a regular job and give up this fake lifestyle she is holding onto. If she doesn't go through with the process, he gets away with being a violent abuser and will continue to abuse other women. These guys don't change once they've been given a pass...they just get worse. She seems to be in a good relationship now...I'm happy for her but she cannot give Matt a pass on this. Probation, anger management, personal counseling...and whatever else is deemed appropriate for a first time offender. Next time he screws up and flys into a physical rage at a woman...throw the book at him. And she needs to stop hugging him and kissing him...ecch....he tried to choke her out! WTF is wrong with these women? -
I agree with most of what you wrote...however...Sean is very manipulative. Whenever he has a violent meltdown and acts out by trashing something or busting a window or whatever...he reappears after a week or so and is very apologetic and calm. This is always followed by him needing to stay there with the added bonus of him watching Kloie. Then after a few months it's back to arguing, cursing and then him doing the usual trashing of a room or breaking a window or something else. It's a vicious cycle between these two. Round and round...the thing that was very disturbing this time was his short fuse with Kloie and the way he flew off the handle with her. It scared me...he's very unstable and needs professional help to get out of this rut he's in. No HS diploma or even a GED and he's 30??? No skill or trade either...no wonder he's mad and reactive to everything. He has big plans for his future but never seems to get around to doing the first steps to acheiving them. Without a GED his job possibilites are very limited...but he could find work at a Costco doing loading and unloading of goods or Walmart. The pay isn't great but its work...it would give him a sense of purpose and structure to his day and help his self esteem. Without a GED or a skill he's going to be relegated to work like this...that's the reality of today's job market. At least he would have somewhere to go each day and pull in a paycheck.

Is Natalie the woman who went to her ultrasound with her and takes care of the kids when she has appointments? Wow...just think if Kailyn had to do all this stuff without help? She would be freaking out and having meltdowns all the time. Kayden isn't much help. Looks like he's ambivalent and disinterested in Creed. You couldn't pay me enough to live with and work for a crazy bitch like Kailyn.

Gina is behaving like a classic battered wife. Apologizing, feeling sorry for her batterer, feeling badly for her batterer...give him slack so he can get a job and support the kids? How about he control his temper and not choke his wife? How about he doesn't barge into her home in the middle of the night and scare the shit out of the kids? How about not cheating on Gina for years and then brings his side piece out to California...while living miles away from his wife and kids so he can shack up with his side piece. I'm sorry...this guy is a loathsome jerk. Maybe Gina will have to move back to New York and get a job so she's not dependent on this asshole for money. Her parents are more than willing to be her support team and help her with the kids. Kelly's "logic" sounds like something from my grandparents generation...don't make things worse for the man that tried to kill you...cut him some slack so he can get a job and provide child support...OMG! talk about enabling a wife beater! Gina needs to send a message to this lowlife that what he did was not OK and could have resulted in a tragedy. He should be punished. I hope he's undergoing counseling and anger management. I would rather work two jobs to support my kids than cut a guy like this slack for his money. He will have to provide child support anyway and I'm sure he'll find employment somewhere...that's his problem. There should be consequences for behavior like this. -

I'm sorry...did I miss the memo that said Geraldo Rivera is hot? Maybe back in 1974....not so much now...ecchh. He sounded so wimpy when he was having pillow talk about building bookcases and closets. I realy thought Kelly would have hooked up with a younger hot guy. Even a guy in his mid 40's would be better than this grandpa. -
If you work in Manhattan it's an easy train commute and like I said, the schools are good. If you work in Fairfield County, then it makes sense to live in Fairfield County...it just doesn't seem smart to commute from West Hartford to Fairfield. I went to college in West Hartford and then lived in Trumbull for nine years in the '80's. So I'm familiar with the traffic issues there...it seemed like her husband didn't care about her commute. I agree about the AC...Every home we lived in in Connecticut had central air but I knew a lot of people that did not have it and I hated going to their houses in the summer. For this family, even opening windows wouldn't be helpful since they are right next to a busy intersection that feeds into a large mall...the noise and exhaust from buses and cars would be overwhelming.

I have to disagree about Shannon...her daughter isn't a young child. She's a teenager and felt compelled to break quarantine and sneak out for a party? If one of my teenagers (and I had three of them at one time) did that, knowingly compromising my health and safety, I wouldn't keep my disappointment and anger from them...hell no! On the other hand, I wouldn't brow beat her for doing something so foolish and potentially dangerous...I would absolutely voice my anger and anxiety about it and then move on. If she's old enough to do something so reckless and harmful to other people, she's old enough to face the music at home. The worst punishment I ever got as a teen for doing something stupid was silence...my parents would shun me for a week or so...ugh...it sucked but I never did the bad thing again. -

LOL!!!! Has Elizabeth never heard of beach cover ups? They make some really nice ones that would be more appropriate for her. That bikini on her build was a classic fashion faux pas. Yikes! -

BrownBear2012 replied to PrincessPurrsALot's topic in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
I would just like to point out that one of her "poor" daughters snuck out of the house during a quarantine to attend a maskless party knowing her mother had an underlying condition that could be seriously compromised by a COVID infection. I agree Shannon is a drama queen but her kids are hardly selfless angels that are suffering. What her daughter did was reckless and selfish and she has now infected the entire family all for a few hours of partying with some OC douchebags. -
It is a nice place to live...older homes and some new builds. Greenwich is for the super rich and very private. Judge Judy owns a mansion there as well as many scions of the business world and society big wigs. Fairfield is solid upper middle class and a lot of professionals own homes there...doctors, lawyers, accountants, dentists, etc. Mostly it's families with school age children. It's a far cry from it's next door neighbor, Bridgeport! Which Paul Newman once called the arm pit of New England...

The husband clearly doesn't understand the current market in CT...having lived there for eight years (Fairfield County) I can tell you that dumps are selling for a lot more especially in Fairfield. The big draw to Fairfield is the school system. Excellent public schools and the train to Manhattan is centrally located. People that work in NYC love Fairfield and it isn't a long commute at all. So, getting a house that has a new kitchen, updated flooring and updated bathrooms for under $600,000 is a good deal. He had a laundry list of things that he didn't want to compromise on but his wife had to compromise by agreeing to buy the West Hartford home which is a good hour or more from Fairfield depending on traffic! And that home was in a high traffic area, busy intersection, across the street from a mall! Bad yard...small and needs a lot of landscaping. If they got some nice hedges and planted them along the side of the house that faces the busy street, that would provide some privacy and create a barrier. The house also needed a paint job on the outside and didn't have the air conditioning he wanted so badly. Getting central air will run him a lot of money. I think all in all they could have done a lot better in the air conditioned remodeled home in Fairfield...and she wouldn't be spending hours on the road commuting to work each day.

She knows...to me Gracie is just being a typical sibling. They all fight and have disagreements about who started what or who said what. Maybe Leah should go back to having alone time with each girl once a month like she did in a few seasons ago. Do some mother/daughter things with each one. Especially at this age before the hormones really kick in and boys become more important than familial relationships. BTW, Gracie is going to be a gorgeous...

I was appalled by Kailyn ignoring her newborn screaming in the back of the car...OMG...that was truly horrible. More concerned about baby daddy/mama trouble and mixing it up for the cameras then stopping the car and giving the baby a bottle. Kailyn has a big mouth and loves spewing shit out on camera...does she not think that this will get back to her kids? Issac and Lincoln are getting older and their peers will soon be saying things to them about the stuff their Mom does and says. She's probably one of the most selfish, self absorbed TM's ever. And let's talk about this strange new relationship she is in with Jo and Vee...they should be very wary of her and her motives for this sudden kum by yah love fest she's promoting. Especially Vee...Kail is a serial cheater and already cheated on a boyfriend with Jo. I wouldn't get so cozy with her...it's great to see the kids together but Kail becoming a third wheel at the house is a red flag for me. And who is the guy in the car with her? Another boyfriend or just a hanger on? He seemed irritated at poor little Creed crying...he didn't even offer to hold him and settle him down...just turned around and gave Creed a look of annoyance. Chelsea and Cole rewarding tantrums with junk food from the convenience store is lazy parenting. And now they're adding another one to the mix...Watson will be a pro in no time in getting what he wants just by screaming his head off. Wow...what pushovers. Why is Brianna trying so hard to get this waste of space to be a responsible parent? The fact that he keeps calling her stupid and then tops it off with a "if you don't like the way I do drop offs and pick ups of Nova then do it yourself" was a slap in the face to his kid. He's just a lazy ass dead beat Dad. He just doesn't want to the extra things he should do to be a strong and positive presence in his daughter's life. He's just a loser. Face it Brianna and move on. I wouldn't want my daughter over at his house...especially if he can't get her to her school or activites on time or worse be so late to pick her up she's the last one left. Leah...just shut up with all the be nice and be kind stuff...I feel badly for Gracie. She always has to be understanding and forgiving of Ali and when she does interact as a typical sister to sister thing, she gets yelled at and told she's insensitive and needs to alter her behavior. Ali needs to learn to stand up for herself and fight her own battles despite her disability. Why didn't Leah put the suitcase in the car? Ali is a great kid but Gracie is also...she must feel that whatever Ali does and says is fine BECAUSE she's disabled...but if she does or says similar things she's the bad daughter. Adorable dog...what happened to the other dog they had? Jade...more drama with Sean who can't control his temper. Why oh why is she allowing him back in to watch Kloie? Kloie would be much better off at daycare a few days a week rather than be beholding to this guy.

Yes! Mike!...thank you. He really was like a father to Jacob. He even coached his soccer if I remember correctly. I think Jacob suffered greatly after Mike passed. God knows Matt wasn't there for him nor was Amy. They were only all about the Jeremy and Zach...and making money.

The News Division is different from the on air personalities that have their opinion type shows at night. Actually, the News Division gets very high marks from most journalists and other media outlets for having hardworking journalists. -
Yes ! It's all making sense now...his anger, his drug use, his resentment of the show, his problems in high school...it almost seems like a slap in the face that Amy, Matt and Zach continue to film and receive paychecks from TLC. Jacob was the perfect target for a pedophile...he was pretty much ignored and on his own since both parents were engrossed in their own endeavors or obsessing on the twins. Mollie was self suffcient and didn't need to be the center of attention but Jacob was just left to fend for himself after their friend died...I forgot his name but he basically became a second father to Jacob along with doing a lot of the dirty work on the farm. Pedophiles pick up on that kind of thing and swoop in with months of grooming before making their moves. It's always with a child that is basically being either ignored or emotionally abandoned. You can tell Jacob has had alot of therapy...I'm glad he got help and is finding his way through the pain and anger.

That was the model that Roger Ailes put forth when he started Fox News. Sexy women, except for Greta Sustern, lots of make up and tight dresses. I prefer Sportsmax...😂 -

Kelly talking current events and history gave me a migraine...she must have majored in BJ's at ASU because she clearly cannot debate anything other then face lifts vs fillers. Also...there should be a drinking game for every time she mentions how great sex is with her senior citizen boyfriend. -
When I said YMCA I was pointing out that there are alternative living spaces for people like Sean...I don't live in Indianapolis so I don't know if they have a Y that would provide housing...I was merely spitballing a thought. And no...I haven 't been watching TCM lately...though I do know several people that have lived temporarily at YMCA's and YWCA's throughout my life. I too, was perplexed about Sean saying he wanted to go to music when I have never seen him play an instrument in the show or even listen to music...all I see him doing is play video games. He's just so delusional...in order to get into a bonafide music school he would need his GED. And having gone to a college that had a separate School of Music, I can say that getting into a music school of good standing is highly competetive and difficult to get into. This guy has a lot of delusional dreams that he never takes any steps towards achieving. Finally...you never know how someone woud respond to military life. Sometimes, someone like Sean with no structure or goals does well. A lot of times they cite the military as being the big turnaround in their life...who knows. I like to think that Sean could have a productive life at some point but it doesn't look good...he's got so many issues that need professional help. Right???

Watching Kailyn last night was excruciating. The manic way she calls up people and just jumps right into how horrible HER day has been or crazy how HER morning has been...does she ever have any kind of interest in anything these "friends" of hers have going on in their lives? It's all me me me.... also, another podcast? And what a boring one it is. What's with this sudden friendship between Kailyn and Vee? And Jo...wow...he's quickly becoming a balding, middle aged guy. Question...does Lux ever wear a shirt? Finally...the return of Bone! Jade has a real mess on her hands. There's no way to sugar coat this for her. Sean knows how to get to her and manipulate her. They break up but he isn't moving out because he has no where to stay...so now she's still stuck living someone who is an angry, belligerent, dead beat with no ambition, no job, not even a high school diploma or GED...on top of that, he's resentful of her and they fight constantly in front of their child using bad language and sometimes he's even physically abusive. He should move out for the sake of the child...go to the local YMCA if you have to. He'll never get his GED. He'll probably never work again either...he's in the worst rut a man could be in. Honestly, the only hope for him is to join the military and learn a skill. Brianna is just stupid and clueless. No way Nova should be spending any time at Devoin's place when he has a roommate that hasn't been vetted. I would never let a child, boy or girl, stay with a relative that had a roommate that hadn't been checked out first. this is how kids end up being molested. Nova has her guard up about him and instinctively does not like him. Oh Brianna...how could you allow your precious daughter spend time at a residence with a man that you don't know just because you need a "break". That's the excuse you gave for going on a trip with married man recently. Chelsea and Cole are boring as hell. I just am not interested in her Forever 21 wannabe clothesline or the building of their "dream home". Does Cole not work anymore? Aubree is a "tween" now and no longer wants to show affection towards Cole and certainly did not want to pose at the school for a picture...yikes...nothing would be more embarassing to a new kid at school than to have your stepdad take a picture of you in front of the school. Buckle up Chelsea and Cole...those teen years are coming up fast. MTV producers are really trying hard to give Leah some sort of a storyline this season and it's just not very intriguing. The whole "I got trained to save someone from an overdose" thing was ridiculous. Who is going to call her her for help when they can call 911 and get an EMT to come to their house...would you trust a stranger, someone with one training session, a private citizen no less to save your family member or friend? The whole pain killer addiction story line with her is just old...I thought we had moved on from that. Apparently not.

Having been to Bozeman and other parts of Montana I was appalled at the ugly and awkward condo building they chose to buy into. For such a beautiful area to allow a structure like that to built is all that's wrong with today's builders/architects. Such a disgrace to the majesty of the mountains and bucolic beauty of the area.
