The Real Housewives of NJ

[DrPhil]

This was the dumbest meeting and overall episode ever.

I did laugh at:
Caroline: You're a clown.
Danielle: I'M a clown? You sit here with red hair and I'M a clown?

Ashley is a certified bitch. Is it only for the cameras or did they really not raise her to know any better?

Everyone should take note. This is what happens when you let children do and say whatever they want when they're young. There's a very good chance they'll continue their poor behavior when they're older and then it will be too late. You can't start to discipline at 18.

The meeting between Caroline and Danielle was totally for show. If you didn't want anything to do with someone, why would their number still be in your phone?

I agree. I am working on this with some of the children in my life.

There's nothing cute about children thinking they are so cute, smart, witty and sarcastic enough to go word-for-word and joke-for-joke with adults. As sarcastic and smart assed as I am, I wasn't able to do all of that as a child. I was told to shut up and sit down plenty of times until I learned how to do it on my own. Now, I can talk and joke with the children in my life, but I am eager to tell them when they are one comment away from getting tackled and shackled to a chair.

That's also how I feel about Jaden Smith. The older he gets, he annoys me. He stopped being cute and funny when he was younger. Now he's annoying and that's another reason why I can't watch The Karate Kid.

I agree!! They called this a "showdown"???? Are you serious?! I think I slept through that entire encounter. So much for a season finale ...

Caroline annoys me. Everything is always "my family this" and "my family that" and "I burst into tears" and "my heart exploded" ... I mean, lady, gimme a break! The melodramatic way she explains things sounds so "mafioso" even though she tries to pretend they don't like to be associated with such.

When I look at Teresa and Jacqueline's children's behavior, I still say Danielle seems to know what she's doing (up to a point, of course) in comparison. When her daughter used profanity, it was corrected right away, unlike Ashley's comment about Danielle being an annoying fly. The fact that Danielle's daughter wanted to donate her birthday money to charity was rather unique in comparison to Teresa's daughters constantly yelling "Fab-u-louuuuuus!" Ashley should take some lessons from Danielle's daughters.

Now, whether Danielle coaxed her daughters to be goody-two-shoes just for the camera is another story.
