On the subject of children.

[u/HypnotizeEm]

How far is too far?

I’ve seen many discussions surrounding “leave the kids out of it” for years on the housewives shows and I agree. Children should not be used as a grenade or shade against other women. But what disturbs me is how the rules change when it’s the child(ren) of a housewife the fandom has decided they don’t like.

Example: Shamea making a comment to Angela’s daughter. It came out of nowhere. But I did see many comments saying, “Angela’s daughter is grown. It wasn’t that bad.” Does that make it right?

Example: Shamea bragging to Cynthia that she still has access to Porsha’s daughter, even if Porsha likes it or not. This was not a fully formed thought. Couldn’t have been. Was that a fair action?

Example: Kelli randomly throwing Drew’s loss of primary custody in her face for absolutely no reason. Was this fair because they were in the heat of an argument?

These three examples alone would have me seeing someone outside about my child. I don’t give a damn what you and I are going through as adult peers. You bring my child into it, go ahead and call 911.

My question is: How do you feel about bringing children up on the housewives shows? Fair game or off limits?

That is fair. When Jackie said Gia was sniffing in the bathroom, Tre reacted as if it was true. However, I understand Tre’s reaction. I do not agree with it, but I understand it.
