Something's Gotta Give

Bethenny thinks that in the end Julie made the right decision.

Apr 10, 2012

I really liked this episode, because it was largely about female power, which is, in many ways, what I stand for.

Julie made a decision. Whether that is what you or I would do is irrelevant. She was stuck. She was tormented and something needed to happen for something to happen. To be honest, it was better for everyone. When someone is struggling with something, it affects their whole environment. Jackie was so enthusiastic about embarking on a new adventure, and it was difficult to do so while Julie's heart and head were leaving the game. It's the circle of life in business. I love Julie, and she is forever in my heart and connected to my family, but I do believe that it was the best decision for everyone. She is happy, the office is running smoothly and quietly, and everyone has found their place.

Bethenny, First - let me repeat that I LOVE you! I was so happy to see you be true to thineself in the furniture store. I am happy for Julie. I am excited for you and Julie to shift gears into friend mode - nothing negative needs to be said about her office performance - now you can just be friends who are like family. She obviously loves you and Jason and Brynn and maybe in the grand scheme of things that was the purpose of her working for you - to join your family. She is family now and always will be. That is the beauty of unconditional love. You have people in your life - Jason, Julie, Brynn - who love you no matter what and alway will. They are not going anywhere. Life is good - enjoy it and who cares about the critics - they don't know you.

I am not a fan of Bethanny's show,I find it very boring, I think she should have stayed on the real housewives,now that show is far from boring,I can't wait for the season to start again. Bethenny, I don't understand why you have your own show, it is so blah to watch.

Bethenny,

You are an inspiration to all women. Thank you for being the example of female empowerment that you are.

I too had worthless parents, but now have an amazing, loving husband. I thank my lucky stars everyday for him, but no matter how much he loves me, no matter how welcoming his family is, there is a hole in my heart that can never be filled. I totally understand the distance you have with Jason's family, not that you don't appreciate their love, it's just that there is something that they can't fix and that closeness that they have is a reminder of what you missed out on. On the bright side, everything we experience makes us who we are. You wouldn't be the same if anything had been different. All we can do is be grateful for what we do have and right now, you have a beautiful family of your own. Congratulations.

Also, don't get too concerned about everyone thinking Jason is the perfect husband, YOU are pretty awesome yourself and YOU are the one that we watch the show to see. You crack me up, I can't wait to hear what you say next.

Love, Marie

I am very happy and proud of you Bethenny in all that you have accomplished. You are a great mother and can see in your eyes how proud you are to be a mommy. I will say it again...that money hasn't changed you. It is so inspiring to see you let us in to your life (good or bad) and you don't sugarcoat anything. You ARE who you ARE....period!!! Love that! Believe it or not, letting the public experience your low points really helps other women out there. Lets us know we can change our lives if we really want to try. Its seems you keep such a positive outlook no matter what. That is very inspirational. Keep up the good work and don't forget you are helping all women to be the best they can be!!!

Bethenny I am so disappointed in your skinny girl healthy recipes. You don't seem to pay attention AT ALL to all the sodium. In fact, you encourage people to "not be a hero" and buy a jar of tomato sauce. Sodium is like poison and you seem to think that just sugar is. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Interesting and yes, a very positive episode. Did you notice? Julie looked happier, livelier, and thinner than she ever has.... And, why was she 'burnt out (her words)'? I think that you were litteraly grinding her down, and Julie being the gentle kind work-horse that she is allowed it to go on for so long... I think that she could have lasted with you for many more years if she was treated (and paid?) better. I am so happy that Julie is free from you now. But, I doubt that Jackie will be able to fill Julie's shoes...

Enjoy your empire, Bethenny--you have changed, you are not giddy pregnant-bride that you were two years ago---you have turned colder and harder.

My comment is simply,Bethany what are you doing going into these stores in Manhatten and even entertaining the thoughts of purchasing these high end, over priced items. Save your money for the more important things in your life, travel, vacation homes, something of that level is what you spend money on, not because your decorator is leading you into these establishments and saying oh this is fabulous, this is spectacular, no this is highway robbery! This is let's all take advantage of Bethany! You have money to spend now, so spend it wisely, and by that I mean there is absolutely no reason on this earth that a mirror needs to cost 76k, you can find beautiful, stunning furniture anywhere for way less than what you are being shown. What is going on with you is, there is way too much going on at once and because you cannot be in several places, doing several things at once, well you can, we all know that, lol, but it is not a good place for you right now. I think you are going to become completley overwhelmed and simply tell your decorator, go ahead pick out whatyou like and surprise me. Please do not let this happen to you. People will take this permission/opporunity and run with it, you cannot alloothers to make these decisions for you, however you are going through so much right now, it is giving me a nervous breakdown. Remember your decorator is only as good as her last gig, so if she sets you up with fine furniture spending your millions, it looks better for her when your apartment is in every magazine, so please beware. I am sure they are wonderful, very professional and well known, and they got that wya for doing exactly what they are doing right now to you. Be open and honest and say hey I am sorry however I am not spending this type of money on furniture, especially with small children in the home. Be true to yourself, you know it is over indulgeance, so do not feed into it for the sake of saying you did. Save your money for significant purchases, real estate, vacations, vacation properties, etc. I just looked at several high end furniture sites and you can easily decorate your new home for a fraction of what they are telling you to spend on one item. Your home will be warm, gorgeous and welcoming, just like you. You need a real friend to help you with this and allowing people that do not really know your likes and dislikes and your true value of what you intend to spend. You are the most genuine person I have ever seen, down to earth, hysterical, intelligent, knowledgeable, wise beyond your years, so I know you will, in the end make the right decisions on furnishing oyur home and you won't spend astronomical amounts on rediculous things. Things are things, they are nice to have, however you know in in your heart what are the most important parts of your life to you and that is Bryn an your husband, oh and Cookie, LOL. Let the designers do their thing, let them give you ideas, and then take those ideas, scale them down to reality and you will be happy. Whatever you see that you love, take a picture of it, make a book and then go shopping elsewhere and get what looks as cose to it as possible in a store that is more reasonable. I woul dnot want to walk into a store in Manhatten and tell me a mirror is worth 76k because they think so, then I would know I am so in the wrong place at the wrong time, I would not care if I were a billionare. Charities need 76k, people starving need 76k, women all over the world need 76k to eat and feed their children, I would rather spend it doing something good for someone who needed 76k and buy a nice mirror for $1,000 say. You understand, right? I could not have the conscience if I were a millionare to sit on furniture that cost more than the national debt. I wan tto sit at night with my family on a soft and cushy couch eating popcorn and being happy on a couch for a few thousand maybe, and only if I were rich. Love you, your the best no matter what you do, we all love you...Best of luck in all you do!!!

Love this episode, Julie will be okay and she will be happy. I get what you are saying about being tortured and opff her game can bring the whole vibe down. I think she knew in her heart what her decision would be, just didn't need to approach you about it. She was probably overwhelmed by how fast your company grew and how hard it is to keep up with it while attempting to have some sort of life. I am glad that you both are in a much better place.

The scen of the underwear with all your team was great, it is amazing what make up can do and I don;t mean it in the wrong way but each of you looked great and pretty sexy

One question though, did the girls got the chance to keep some of the solo pictures? Jackie seemed interested in having one to show to her boyfriend , LOL

Bethany, I love you and the family you have created over the past 2 years. You can see the love you have for Bryn everytime you look at her. She is absolutely beautiful. You are truly an inspiration to all women. You bring a little bit of joy and laughter into my house every week. After losing the love of my life to a drunk driver this past year I don't smile or laugh that much anymore but I know every Monday night I am going to get a chuckle and maybe a few tears :) Very sad to see Julie leave but I am looking forward to you torturing Jackie now.

Bethenny- Do NOT listen to the haters responses here. You were the best thing about RHONY (most real) and your current show is great fun. I truly hope the Ellen deal works out- it would be fabulous. You never show pretense when it counts and you always can be counted on to "say it like it is". It is tough to see you struggle with your past but I feel it is important to show others how you deal with and get through the hurdles for those others who have gone through similar things. There is no doubt that the Team B that is in place will continue to carry you forward as Julie laid great groundwork for them. I wish you continued success!! Give a squeeze to Baby B!

I am also married to "the perfect husband". For many years that was some big shadow he cast!! Glad to see you going to the shrink now, instead of later, because unless you've lived it, no one can understand how hard it can be to play the role of the less than perfect spouse. One good thing: my husband has always appreciated me. So here's my 2 cents: don't listen to what others say; just go with your heart and don't lose that man. He loves you and he is a great daddy. You'll figure it all out in time.

love the show, like everything about the show...skip the haters, Julie will be missed and life moves forward for her future marriage, etc., best of luck Julie.

I love you and your show but I have to say I was very disappointed that you gave the impression that Julie wasn't performing at her job. She gave notice and you should have left it at that. Im glad that she took the high road which shows what how professional she is. You should have left that part out. Extremly unprofessional and not necessary.

I love Bethenny and her lovely family, but am SO SICK and TIRED of these folks who desperately seek fame and fortune and once they find it, are miserable and stressed because they have to spend 8 hours a week in a make up chair wearing pretty clothes and getting their picture taken with people who adore them - and getting paid big bucks to do it. They are SO stressed out because they only have one nanny and three assistants to help them with one awesome baby and a hot husband who doesn't seem to work. All the while saying "this is real folks" (feel sorry for me and my crazy life) - and you're sitting at home eating a frozen dinner after working 12 hours, too late to give your kids their dinner, bath or even grt a hug from them because you got home too late from spending the day watching someone else's kids. Bethenny - get over your BS and quit complaining. You have enough money and everything you said you ever wanted. Retire and enjoy your family - life is too short. Once you have real problems give me a call.

As a 45 year old mom to my 4 year old son Brady, I can't tell you how much i enjoy watching your show, it's a much needed hour long laugh break I look forward to each week. It's been a trying 2 years for my family, I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer 2 years ago when Brady was 2 years old, and my husband, a firefighter for 16 years was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. After surgery and months and months of chemo I was cancer free!! Then my husband had brain surgery to put implants into his brain to help with the Parkinson's. This summer my ovarian cancer came back as nodules outside one of my lungs, so 2 more surgeries and more chemo and we're hoping the PET scan I had today will be good news. My husband's implants weren't helping him as much as they should so he just had 2 more brain surgeries to put in 2 more implants, won't know for awhile if they'll work. So you can imagine the stress level...thank God for our son, he is a joy, happy all the time, the biggest blessing ever and our best medicine. We fight on, each day, for him, he is our motivation to keep pushing on, no matter what. Watching your show is a rare moment when I forget about what's happening in our world and laugh my butt off. Keep going Bethenny, you're a strong, smart, ambitious woman who, from the moment I saw you on RHONY I adored you and have continued to watch you and you never fail to impress me and make me laugh out loud. You Rock!!

Bethanny,

When are you going to admit and accept that everyone leaves you in the end. Gina left after you went into her church and made a spectacle of yourself! You embarrassed her religion, church, her pastor. How in the world would anyone accept that behavior coming from a so-called friend, and confidant! Ramona from Housewives of NY must be saying "told ya so" about you messing up your relationship with Jason. She was right! You messes up everything. You are damaged - for real! You seem to bring light to Julie's leaving not that you can do anything, but to turn sadness into "better for everyone" is totally selfish on your part. I don't have a problem with you being you, but at times, for family or for the camera, you really need to hold your tongue a bit. And, you always seem to try to make everyone talk about their sex life with you. That is personal and you shouldn't try to bring humor into it when you are delving into people's personal business. It's not funny nor cute - but seem to cry when someone calls you out on your bad behavior. If Jason stays with you, he is totally sick in the head!!!! You will refer to your empire as "yours" whenever you damn well please and then to make Jason feel apart of the amily, you say "we, we"! Girl, please! Money don't buy class or love and even with all of your success, you will find yourself alone at night once all of your staff (not family) has gone home for the night! Yes, you have issues, but none that your shrink will honestly tell you while he is getting his paycheck. You are one screwed up individual! We will miss Julie, but I know that girl was sick of your mess and do you blame her!

Why why why do you have to comment negatively about Julie. Would it be SO hard to say she was just wonderful and you will never be able to replace her? No, you have to let people know that you are kindof glad she left. Bethenny, I used to like you so much.....this episode and your lack of gratitude and loyalty to to the wonderful Julie is very telling about your selfish nature. I hope your husband runs as fast as he can...he (and his wonderful parents that you don't appreciate) is deserving of someone better and you find it necessarily to point out HIS faults in every episode. No SK products for this skinny girl. I won't add to your empire.

Your need to address your illness asap. With Julie leaving the stress will be greater now and the "I love you, I hate you"...side will come out strong. I urge you to get medical attention for this. It takes courage to face an illness head on.

Bethenny- I think you rock!! Love your show and the real-life struggles that we all go through. Keep doing what you're doing. I wish you AND Jason nothing but happiness.

It's exhausting watching you.

B- I did not think it was possible for you to be any colder or harder but, you proved me wrong. YOU are a sell out not putting much thought into your products and just marketing anything that will pay you, do oyour research first.

First I think Julie's decision was probably for the best. I think your empire was becoming more a job than she wanted. Not everyone wants to rule the world. Jackie seems like a great employee but now is the time for a seasoned professional (no I'm not looking for a job!). Maybe in time she would be that person. I have an MBA and 20 years of management experience. One thing I have learned is no matter how smart "kids" are they are still kids. I will miss Julie. Also I find it really unfortunate that your talk show will be catering to stay at home mothers (on during the day) instead of mothers who work outside the home like yourself. Just saying.

What an insightful episode! Bethenny went to a Parenting Magazine party, leaving Jason to feed the baby. The worst of it, was knocking Julie on her way out. How sad, the girl, who held a bucket for her to pee in....the girl who would babysit for her...the girl who is bryn's godmother...the girl who worked out of a one bedroom tiny apartment countless hours...the girl who totally compromised her own happiness to help build the bethenny empire....and this is what she gets on the way out? Some cruel comments and a lame "vacation" to Mexico (where we all know she will be tying up loose ends for bethenny and training the others, as well as, babysitting bryn!). I think that Bethenny hit a peak, and with this delusional/abusive attitude towards those closest around her she will be crashing down sometime soon.

Bethany, Have to thank you! My father is 81, he is very sad, his wife left him before Thanksgiving, I try to cheer him up but cant. We have been watching Bravo, he doesn't understand the Housewife's or Jeff Lewis, whom I love of course, Bravo is my favorite!!! My father loves you Bethany, Jason and of course your little angel!! He laughs and laughs while watching your show!!!! He loves you!!! I love cookie too!! Thank you!!!

I like Bethenny for the most part but I am sorry it is so hypcritical to me to pretend to be concerned with overpriced furniture when you wear $1000 shoes and carry $1000 handbags. Get real!!!

Reading some of these comments, I gain understanding why Julie has left. Could all of you handle hearing this crap? Julie yes, is a loyal employee, an employee that became very close to her employer. Have any of you haters thought that Julie gave up the job for the friendship? Bethenny is building her brand, which has grown rapidly. Julie lost herself in all of it, and made the best choice for her, not Bethenny. As Bethenny said, 'Julie was good for the job, but the job wasn't good for Julie. Having the honest understanding of that is a very healthy prospective. Julie was drowning and knew it. I really don't think this is the only conversation they've had about it. It is the first one they've put on the show. Julie is Family to Bethenny. Ease up a bit people. For all we know, Julie could be behind the scene's still being a part of the business, just a smaller roll that "she" is comfortable with.

I cannot tell you, Bethenny, how exhausting it is watching you now. I used to enjoy you on the RHONYC, but I am worried about you now. The energy you bring to each situation, from eating with your husband to working with your employees seems very negative and it must be hard to be around. I would love to see you toning things down a bit. You come off as very caustic and are ALWAYS talking-always trying to make some "funny" comment or something...do you ever stop to listen to yourself or listen to others when they talking? Really listen? It doesn't come across that way on the show. Please, take some time off, eat some food for god's sake (you are distractedly thin), nurture your relationship, and come down off of that high horse. I can't believe that Jason stands for you claiming that your new apartment is the "house that Skinny Girl built"! How disrespectful to a wonderful partner. Wouldn't you think you were in it together?

I used to like you. But you've become just like all of the rest of those women on reality shows. Their heads get so big, they can't see anyone but themselves. You have a fantastic husband who you treat like dirt. You have fantastic in-laws who many women would love to have. All you do, is run, run, run, trying to make more of a name and more money. When will enough be enough? Funny how fame turns people into something ugly. Julie was there for you in the beginning, you basically kicked the rug out from under her....you should be ashamed of yourself. BTW, I won't be stuffing your coffers any more, no more Skinny Girl for me. The $$ has gone to your head.

wow "she was great, but now the office is moving smoothly" really these are your last words for the godmother of your daughter and long time "Friend"--geez--i would be so pissed at you if I were Julie---show some appreciation--really the money and fame has made you into everything you pretended to hate. yeah--just goes to show your true self and it's ugly.

B, I love your honesty. You are so real with your feelings. It amazes me that some people can't handle that on this board. You are who you are and you are real. I love that you have not changed even though you are a multi-millionaire. I loved how you hugged Julie and wished her well and cried with her. You were then able to process, honestly, all of your feelings and realize that through her foibles, you love her like family and had her planned her in on your grande life scheme. You are a great mom. I love your relationship with Jas. I love watching it grow as you two go through new stages. You're doing well, B! Be proud! I was thrilled to see you put your employees in your new line of shape wear as models. They all looked so beautiful and I'm sure it brought everyone closer. It really showed us that every woman can wear it, not just super models. You are strong, kind, smart and beautiful. You are NOT damaged. Far from it! You have much to offer. Don't ever allow that label to be put on you. That's an old tape from your past. Shut it off. You are perfect and just the way you are supposed to be which happens to be beautiful, successful, kind, smart and insightful. Keep up the great work B, we love you!

we all have to start somewhere. just like the day you met Nick, and he became an unexpected friend. You are a lucky woman, you and jason are the base of a strong pyramid. with a beautiful daughter.Your family may not be typically bonded by blood, but by friendship. You are surrounded by love. Let them love you. You and I are a lot alike, in the sense...I am the funny one, I joke to get thru life and dont take enough time to "feel" the love. I want the fairy tale in the movie, but i wont let myself have it, even if its right in front of me....

Bethenny - I would love, love, LOVE if I were lucky enough to have you read this. Over the past several years, after every episode, I think to myself how much you are the person I ALMOST am (you are a much skinnier, prettier version!!). I consider myself an authetic friend and an honest, verbal processor. Unfortunately, I live in Iowa and that is not conducive to the Midwestern culture! I am often times thought of as either the mouthy one or the life of the party! I know, to the bottom of my heart, that we would make great friends and learn a lot from each other. So many times, during a scene, I LOL and think: that is exactly what I would say. Love it!

Bethenny, I was one of your biggest fans when you were on RHONY and I was ecstatic when you got your own show. I have been rooting for you all along. But something has changed in you and I don't like it. I find myself telling you to get over yourself many times while watching the show. You have so much now and you still can't be happy! And I could not believe the way you talked about Julie. As hard as she has worked for you (and you are difficult to be around which is extremely obvious) you could not say one kind thing about Julie. I can't believe how ungrateful you have become. You did not get where you are all by yourself. You had help from several people along the way, Julie being one of them. You forget that some of us have watched your show from the beginning so we remember how hard Julie worked for you. How she told you that it was leaked to the blogs that you were pregnant and you acted like you didn't do it. She has been in corner helping you create stories to get people talking about you...helping to get your name in the press. You were so desperate to be successful that you steam rolled over a lot of people and now Julie, sadly, is the latest victim.

I am so disappointed in your true colors. Where is the fun-loving woman we first met? Maybe that was a facade. The second someone leaves you, you throw them under the bus? I feel bad for anyone that comes around you. And Jason, poor Jason. He deserves so much better. You need to do some real self-reflection, be grateful for who and what you have in your life and stop with the greediness. Why the need to do everything?

A 23 and 24 year old cannot run your "empire". You really to hire more seasoned professionals. Are you afraid to hire women your age or older because you won't be able to control them like you can the younger girls who are probably intimidated by you? Really Bethenny, this does not look good for you. I highly doubt your talk show will do well. Do you want to know why? Because you are not a warm person and that will be evident the second you open your mouth.

I am not a hater. I just think you have completely missed the ball. It is just a matter of time before it all comes crashing down around you unless you start to appreciate people. Being humble is an admirable quality...try it sometime.

I agree that you did not need to add the "better for everyone" part about Julie leaving. Us fans would have been happy with you just saying it was the best thing for her. I also agree you have become exhausting to watch. I have always been your biggest fan, but the love/hate in every relationship is difficult to buy in to. I also like the other fans feel bad for Jason. I see his faults, just hate seeing you put him down during every show. No matter how famous I were ever to become, I don't think I would do that to my spouse on national TV. Drop the "just keeping it real" line, you've become kinda mean. Plain and simple.

Bethenny My granddaughter has the same potty, Itsn't it the best.. the little handle, its so damn cute.... Riley is my babies name.. and she is just as cute as can be... with that sassy little attitude of hers.... Just like her nana..

Bethenny loved this episode , I don't understand Julie leaving NYC for Pittburg but I respect her decision, she had to follow her heart and her heart obviously was not in NYC anymore

Bethenny, this episode was great, I was so proud of you for giving Julie the peace of mind that she needed to leave with dignity even if later on you broke down at the therapist office. I know that it feels like you were giving yourself reasons as to why Julie's departure was the best, but deep inside I could see your hurt and how much this affected you.

Bethenny, I am glad you didn't buy that overpriced mirror, I just hope you took a very good look at it and then find a good carpentry where they can replicate it, it was a little too big for my taste but if you can replicate the effect without making it huge, it probably will be less than half the price that the store was going to charge you. I loved the scene of the bowl, I LOL because my hubby does the same so watching the episode he felt validated.

I loved this show, Bethenny , you are the best , enjoy your family and especially Bryn, she is so cute. Do not worry Bethenny, Julie will be happy and Jackie will do just fine.

Bethany you are an awesome business woman!!!!!!!!!!!

why are people so hard on you, Bethanny? It's weird. Maybe it's hard for them to see a successful woman who is married and has a child? Maybe they don't understand your sense of humor? Maybe it's the money. I don't know but you don't deserve all the negativity.

I think you are so self-aware. My favorite moment of the season was when you said that you did not want your daughter to become hard like you. You wanted her to be soft. I think you are the coolest, most relatable chick ever.

Bethanny, I think you're great and real. I also think it was best that Julie left. I'm an assistant, and love my job. It was obvious that Julie didn't. I don't think it was you as much as it was her personality. She never seemed happy. She should go to Pittsburgh and get married and be a housewife. Keep doing what you're doing girl. It's obviously working for you. Love your little girl. Get rid of Jason and his passive aggressive behavior, and Stacey who will surely stab you in the back.

Wow, B, always luved ya, but geez, slow down & eat a hamburger or pasta or something! you look tired, haggard and waaay too skinny! Take a nap & leave out the snark about Jason!

Watched you on housewives, watched your next two shows about getting married and having Bryn.....but I stopped watching this show once the disrespect for Jason started being a bit much (after the 2nd show this season)....I miss you but can't watch you do that anymore. You just don't realize how selfish and self-absorbed you've become. Hopefully when you realize the quality of the person sharing your bed, heart and arms it won't be too late and he's no longer there. Not a hater, just not fond at all about the "victim" stance you keep taking and how everything is about you. Your husband has feelings too, why do your's always have to take priority?

Bethenny, I have been watching you since RHONY and although I love your go-getter attitude and drive, I am actually beginning to see that you are not thankful for the life you have been given. Yes, you have built a successful empire but you didn't build it on your own. I think your comments about Julie and how her behavior was affecting you is rude and disgusting. I have watched you for years treat her as a whipping post and a slave, Max too. By the way, if Julie is such a crazed unhappy person then why whould you make her Bryn's godmother? Who gives you the right to be so vulgure and mean. Did you ever think your behavior and lack of appreciation or understanding for anyone else could have been the reason she was so unhappy? Instead, you use the "I am being real" as an excuse for your awful behavior and comments. Another thing, get over your issues with Jason's family, his parents are kind, loving people and you are horrible to them. For someone who never had a family of her own, why do you push these people away. You are a mean girl who hides behind her past issues and makes excuses like your behavior is justified. How are you going to feel in a few years when Bryn begins to mimic your behavior and act like you? Lastly, you should be ashamed for the way you treat your husband, especially the way you talk to him. You emasculate him at every turn and think it is okay. He is a good guy and maybe you should realize it instead you are insecure and mean. Yes, I said it again MEAN!! No, Jason is not perfect and the fact is he is just trying to live in your crazed world, he is going to make mistakes and act like an ass sometimes, but that does not give you a right to treat him like you do, especially on national TV. Welcome to marriage, it is not about you, it is about the family and as far as everyone can see on your show, it is Bethheny's way or no way. Sadly, you are going to end up alone, not because everyone else didn't try to live within your control freak world but becasue you won't close your mouth and open your eyes to the blessings you have been given. I feel sorry for you because instead of embracing the wonderful family you have been given (Bryn, Jason, Jason's Parents) you act like an "A$$" and put them down. I hope soon you find that all the fame in the world and money does not fill your heart with the same love and joy as you could have by accepting your family, because last I saw they have accepted you as you are....... and heed my words.... your family does love you but in the real world, love only goes so far, a happy family has respect and understadning, two qualities that don't even register on your radar. I wish you the best in life and I hope you can pull your head out of your A$$ before it is too late.

I didn't like your comments about your original nanny Gina when she left. Saying your new nanny was quiet and didn't eat everything and while you love Gina and she was family it was the best decision for everyone.

Now we have sweet dedicated Julie who is leaving and now the office is running smoothly and quietly and it was again the best decision for everyone.

Irks me.
