So I just finished watching the Reunion show of the Real Housewife's and I was so upset to see women tearing each other down with such ferocity. To see "adults" doing this not only upsets me but makes me sad. I have played the part of the "mean" girl and I would like to think that I have learned from my mistakes. Life is hard enough without having someone you think as a friend only want to bring out the worst for you. It took me a while to realize how hurtful it is to others when I try to be conniving. It is honestly so much easier to stay in the positive zone.
The woman named Tamra really made me think. This is a woman who takes obvious pleasure in taking down Gretchen. Gretchen is a 30 yr old woman with a much older fiancee who happens to be dying of cancer. It is very obvious that Gretchen loves her fiancee even if twice her age. Tamra outright calls her a gold digger, accuses her of having a secret boyfriend and alleges that Gretchen is being paid by her fiancee to take care of her. It is so uncalled for. Why is Tamra so concerned with Gretchen. Is Tamra that much of a ego maniac or is she just so insecure about herself? As a mother of four you would think that Tamra would be more concerned with her family instead of focusing so much negative energy on Gretchen. I know this is only a t.v. show but pop culture is such a large part of our lives today that it undoubtedly has an effect on its viewers. I hope that the viewers can learn from the mistakes of these women.
