Where's Min? We need to talk about Bethenny.

I watched a little over half of the episode last night.   Who else watched?

MinM

I watched some. It wasn't very interesting.

mrsconn23

I agree...But a) Bryn is so cute and b) hot damn she is SKINNY!  She's skinnier than she ever was before she got KU.

And I love Jason's parents.

MinM

I love everything about Jason, including her parents.

And yes, she is skinny. I wish I had abs like that.

**O-Face**

Imagine my surprise when she was quoted in a recent article about how she was possibly suffering from ED.  Uh, duh!  I do love her little girl though.  And the name too.

I watched part of it. We moved Mr. Loverman to his own room last night, so I had a hard time sleeping. I'm watching it now.

I have no idea how her boobs are that big. They don't look bigger than a D to me.

She is almost too skinny for my taste. I am still jealous.

1. Something looked weird about her stomach. It's like the skin was darker or something.

2. I usually think all babies are cute, but Bryn is not so much to me. Sorry, Bryn

3. I'm sure the reason they are so clingy is because of the lost of their son, which is understandable I didn't understand why it was the topic of every convo though.

4. She needs to call her mom and work through some of their issues. I think she's going to remain stuck if she doesn't.

MinM

1. I was wondering if she was tanning or using a bronzer or something.

3. Yes, I agree with NOLA.

4. But some/most of her issues were with her dad and since he passed, she may never get the resolution she is wanting.

She must use some type of self tanner or go tanning.

Mr. Loverman has the same stroller and carseat as Bryn. I also don't find her to be especially cute.

I think Jason is also part of the problem with the clinginess.   Because even Jason's mom is understanding of Bethenny's hesitations about being bombarded by them.  

I'm sympathetic to that whole conversation/issue because DH and I have a little bit of a similar situation going, not because of dead siblings, but because SIL and BIL are so far away.  DH wants to spend a lot of time with the IL's because he's the only kid in town and I'm all "hmm, not so much."

MinM

Jason might feel guilty if he doesn't spend as much time with them as he can, as the surviving sibling. That is a lot of pressure.

We're also in a similar situation. I was just watching the going out to dinner scene, and it was all too familiar.

DH's parents are here, less than 15 minutes away. They're way over the top, and I get that they're excited to see us and the baby, but I just want to scream, "BACK OFF!".  Before Mr. Loverman was born, we saw them once a month. Now they want to see us twice per week, and it's way too much for me. DH has a younger brother, but he's single and I don't imagine him getting married and having kids anytime soon.

My parents are in PA, and while they are planning to get a place down here, they're not here as much.  When they are here, they're completely the opposite. They're totally laid back and it's not intense.

**O-Face**

Twice a week is a bit much, LS. <<<<this coming from a girl who sees her parents 7 days/week.

I watched and felt sorry for them all around.  There are so many issues- the brother/son death, visiting, her family issues.  I'm glad they are talking about it though.

I couldn't figure out if she'd never been to his hometown or what?  I know they haven't been together forever, but never going to his bar?  Jason's friends were really sweet.  The reminded me a lot of DH's friends too.  The girl asking for the autograph was really cute as well. 

mrsconn23

2x per week would get a 'hell no' from me. 

Don't even get me started on the 'division of time' BS that goes on sometimes in my life.  Both sets of parents are guilty of making us play monkey in the middle.  It doesn't happen often, but it's annoying when it does.  Thankfully, DH and I usually work through it with minimal arguing.

When I go back to work next week, I'll be working M, W, and Th. They're going to have Mr. Loverman ALL DAY on Wednesday, and then we'll be meeting up with them for dinner. They'll see all 3 of us, and that will be the extent of it each week.

6fsn

2x per week is waaaaay too much.

I know that I have resentment (that's too strong, but whatever) about DH's family getting twice as much time because there are two sets of them.  If we want to do once a month visits then it's 2 weekends for his family, 1 weekend for mine, and 1 weekend of him on call.  That doesn't really work out for me.
