I caught a little of one of those “Real Housewives Shows” last night.
You know the Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of the O.C. Yeah right.
It was like a car wreck!
I could not look away.
In what warped world did these women become “Real Housewives”??
Without an ounce of exaggeration I will tell you these poor hard done by women had Personal Chefs, Estate Managers, Personal Shoe Shoppers, Party Planners for their daughters 11th birthday party’s, make up artists and hair stylists in their homes and a Personal Assistant.
These are not real housewives.
Real housewives cook for their own families….or at least know how to order in.
They manage their own houses…or boss around their hubbies and kids.
They buy their own shoes. Sometimes with a girlfriend, but often alone and in a rush.
Plan the birthday party’s for their kids, exhaust ourselves and love it.
Real Housewives do our own make up and wash our own hair. (when we have time)
We get our hands dirty.
We fund raise. We run bake sales and car washes.
We have split ends and chipped nail polish.
We run our car down to the E.
We have split ends and chipped nail polish.
We run our car down to the E.
We pay the bills, just in time.
We sneak cookies before dinner and sometimes…… we can’t wait for bedtimes.
We know what we signed up for.
We are blessed and love almost every minute of it!
These are the things that make Me a Real Housewife and I just know that here, in the real world, I am not alone.

They are much more real actresses than real housewives, I agree!

I guess networks feel that “real” housewives would be too boring to watch. But at least it would make us feel like we’re not alone!
Tinika says
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Of course with the exception of organizing bake sales and car washes. I can’t even remember the last time i washed my own car!

Great post!
One night while surfing the TV I came across that show. I lasted about 5 minutes, and had to turn it off.
I agreee with you totally! What a shame they are missing out on so many of the joys that go along with picking play-doh out of the carpet… 😉

You couldn’t be more right! I still watch that crap but they’re living fantasy lives. And the fantasies are even appealing to me. (except to watch on tv, lol)
BigSis says
They are casting for the Real Housewives of DC. It really is a train wreck.
Manic Mommy Meg says
I watch those shows to see how bad reality TV really is! They just started a new series: New Jersey. Now they have 4 Total: O.C., New York, Atlanta and now New Jersey. They are not wives or mothers – and you hardly ever see the children on those shows! I agree – it’s disgraceful. (Entertaining, but disgraceful).
Busy Bee Suz says
I agree…there is nothing real about them. But why, why, why can’t I stop watching???? I think I watch becaus they make me feel better abut myself. Great observations!
Courtney Kirkland says
That’s why I can’t watch those ignorant shows…they make out like stay-at-home moms spend all day shopping and drinking martinis. How about we do a show with REAL moms?
Menopausal New Mom says
Exactly!!! I don’t watch any of those Real Housewives shows, bunch of whining spoiled brats.
At least on Desperate Housewives, you know it’s fiction!
Crystal Jigsaw says
Me neither! I don’t do the baking thing but I own up to a lot of the other stuff.

You hardly ever see those kids on the real housewife shows. Who goes out every single night and who is home taking care of those kids??
