I fantasize about living in Manhatten and vacationing on weekends in the Hamptons. Maybe that's why I'm a big fan of the Real Housewives of New York City. I want to visit NYC, but for now I live vicariously through some interesting women--or so I thought.
As of last season, my favorite two housewives were Bethenny and Jill. I enjoyed the humor and outspokenness of both of them. I loved Bethenny's humor. I thought that Jill was grounded; I wanted Jill's mother to adopt me.
What happened since last season to make me disappointed in "my housewives"? Bethenny fell in love, and just like a high school girl, she forgot who had her back. Nobody's too busy for a true friend, especially when that friend's husband is being treated for thyroid cancer. People take time for what's important, whether they're promoting a book or falling in love. That's it; no excuse.
However, why does Jill need to turn a whole posse against Bethenny? If you think this blog sounds like I'm a high school girl writing in my dear diary, this blog only represents the silliness and immaturity that I've seen, watching a show I used to love.
Maybe we girls never grow up. Maybe from a sociology point of view, certain dynamics call for predictable behavior. Why is it important that Jill's friends hate Bethenny when everyone knows that Jill and Bethenny will eventually make up?
