Where I come from Housewives don't act like that

With all this free time on my hands, I have run out of "wholesome" shows to watch, and have become (embarrassingly) addicted to shows about "real" housewives.

I must have missed the memo about acting, dressing, and talking like a playboy model made you a "real" housewife. Huh. Interesting...

Where I come from housewives are decent women who drop everything for their kids. They aren't just an accessories that someone else raises, and we don't go out of our way to make complete fools of ourselves.

Today I stumbled upon a show that Dr. Phil is doing called "The Housewives". I could not believe what these women make ordinary wholesome housewives look like. It's embarrassing to be to be clumped into the same category with them.

Can't we go back to the days where June Cleaver was an amazing example of a "real" housewife? Instead of women who parade around hitting each other and letting "various" body parts jump out of their clothes? Women with language so vulgar, and no manners, or ladylike qualities about them?

This all makes me want to go hang some clothes on the line, and bake some cookies with my little girl. Oh, and don't forget put some casserole in the oven for dinner :)

  2. I'm proud of being a housewife, even though I work full time! I find joy in taking care of my family, and am also appalled when we get lumped in with "reality" TV stars about how "real women" act!
