S06.E21: Sean & Dottie LIVE CHAT

[ams1001]

I think that moving guy needs glasses...he was holding that contract like four inches from his face.

[CouchTater]

Bless his neighbor's heart for helping him!

Sean's dad tried to get him to purge some stuff.  Doesn't look like he was very successful.

[simba barracuda]

The neighbor is awesome

[Pepper Mostly]

Well, kudos to the neighbor lad. He's a good humored, kind fellow. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Oh God. It’s the intersection of My 600 Lb Life and Hoarders. 

[Donut Bear]

I wonder why Sean seems to be financially broke and everyone else on this show seems to have unlimited funds to stay in hotels, have kids and pets, eat hundreds of calories a day. 

[OoogleEyes]

Whoa. This guy is clueless on how to function. I can't imagine how he's going to make it on his own. Mudder did him no favors 

[simba barracuda]

Sean needs to learn some social graces

[Armchair Critic]

With his Eeyore personality Sean better appreciate any friend he has because who would want to hang around him?

[elly1517]

Sean, welcome to adulthood, honey. It's shitty here.

[DEG9]

I wish I could feel more sympathy for Sean. Yes, I know he was trained to be helpless, and all, but I would really like to smack him upside his head and say, "Boy, get real, get a grip! Life has changed. Shit, or get off the pot."  (Now I'm going to feel really guilty if he dies, or something.)

[Kid]

What a whiner he is!!!

[Azubah]

Crocs. Everyone can do Crocs.

[WhitneyWhit]

Good Lord, please put some shoes on, or some zip lock baggies, something, jeez.

[simba barracuda]

“Guess I’ll just die in a ditch somewhere! Then you’ll be sorry, society!”

Sean needs to learn everything. 

[Suzywriter]

Sean still waits for everyone to do things for him. His neighbor was a cheerful angel, and all Sean could do was complain.

Hi pounders!

i made it to the show somewhat on time tonight. Woot!

tonight’s dinner = I have a 5# box of Michigan blueberries!! I’m pairing it with Leinenkugel Canoe Paddler Pilsner. 

Someone brought in a box like this of Michigan blueberries to work today (they were on vacation). I packed up some for aliya jr., then promptly left them in the office fridge. : )  Mom failure.

[elly1517]

But I have to say it's so sad he doesn't know because his mother did everything for him. He really has no clue how to take care of himself. 

[Caoimhe]

Sorry Sean, the way you are whining isn't helping at all.  Heart attack, dying in a ditch somewhere, yeah you're just Mr. Sunshine!

[simba barracuda]

Dottie, you’re a very pretty lady

[Suzywriter]

Look at Dottie's makeup!!

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I can't help but think that Sean's mudder may have broken him completely. He literally has no idea how to function on even the most basic level.

That made me think of the wedding episode of The Office when the guy wore kleenex boxes on his feet.

[Donut Bear]

Why are those Duggers still around??  

[chickenella]

Hi pounders! I'm late and my husband is talking through this!! ?

[Caoimhe]

Really rooting for Dottie to get it together, I have a huge amount of sympathy for her losing Daniel.  

[Kid]

What a whiner he is!!!

[ams1001]

Saw Dottie's hair as they were walking from the parking lot and thought...

There was a little girl who had a little curl,

right in the middle of her forehead

And when she was good, she was very very good,

but when she was bad she was horrid.

 

Yes, I'm terrible.

That was Kevin!  Love that show.

That certainly is his attitude, isn’t it?

[elly1517]

I know his mother made him helpless, but I really think he wants to live in assisted living because he really doesn't want to put any effort into taking care of himself

Dis not good situation 

[WhitneyWhit]

Dottie wouldn't look too bad if she didn't have that flying saucer around her waist.

Right? "if you can't get enough of the Duggars...." says the ad! I have had enough of the Duggars for years! Enough already! Uncle!

My teen hasn't talked to me all night, at 8 pm she came out and sat next to me and is chatty. I guess I should appreciate that she is honoring me with her presence ;) but it reminds me of the cat who always seems to lay on me when I need to get up.

The family business is marriage and breeding. Without either there’s no show and no money.

Hahahahaha! They’re so gross!

[CoachWristletJen]

Dottie's another one of these who eats like she's been in prison, hunched over the food and shoveling it in fast (well, they all shovel it in fast), eyes darting around nervously as she hovers over the plate, looking around as if she thinks someone will steal her precious food away at any given moment.

BTW, sorry, I'm coming to the party late this evening! We just started watching on the DVR...

[Pepper Mostly]

Not too bad, Dottie. lay off the bagel pizzas and eat a salad every once in a while! 

[elly1517]

How y'all doin! 

It never gets old

As an academic who is around various iterations of college students, I'm gonna say he's similar to a lot of young adults away from home for the first time. Yeah, most of them have someone to help them out of the door (look over a lease, give them a grocery store gift card to get started), but eventually they have to start taking care of themselves. Sometimes it ain't pretty.

I've moved a lot. I know to pack weeks ahead; Sean didn't realize that and he was left with a mess to move. He'll learn. And I don't know about you guys, but I've a few times when I could have said, "The only luck I have is bad luck." He's entitled to feeling overwhelmed. He has no guidance. But at least he actually found a place and found movers. I guarantee you that there are other people who would have sat right there moaning "Woe is me" and not doing anything.

[Miracle Maxie]

I’m taking notes on what Dottie is saying to Dr Now so I can use it when I meet with my nutrition coach tomorrow. She is not going to be happy with my eating habit.

But at least I know she won’t say “You need psychotherapy!”

Why you gotta be so reasonable????

Right? And really? the whole family gasps and collapses with surprise when one of these brood mares announces she's pregnant? What the hell were they expecting? "I'm going for my PhD"??

"No more, no more! I'll tell you the truth about JFK! Or 9/11! Just please stop with the Duggers!"

[Grammy]

Sean's new apartment is a death trap.

[Donut Bear]

Sean is borderline hoarder.  What does he plan to do with it all in the "care facility"?

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh Sean. You can't have it both ways. You can't stay packed up in case you have to move, and have everything organized and like you want it. 

[Kid]

 No, Sean, she wasn’t a good mother. A mother’s job is to prepare their children to be self-sufficient and independent.
