Ryan seems like he expects it all to drop in his lap. He definitely needs a reality check. I do wonder, though, was Simon ever warm to Ryan? I definitely think it seems like Simon doesn't like him at all. It's one thing to try to teach him to be responsible, but if this is how Simon has always been to him then that could be part of Ryan's problem. No wonder he feels like an outsider. It could be prompting some of his behavior. It just looks like it's so easy for the rest of the family (and stop comparing him to the golden boy brother, please.) But he totally needs to understand that he has not proven himself so he needs to be happy with whatever job he can get. Does he have a degree? He keeps saying how he "went to school" which is an exaggeration, no?

Why were you being so mean about the new girll on the show, Quinn? She seems like a very nice person and she is very attractive. Believe me I always thought my looks were the most important thing. I have spent so much money on plastic and cosmetic surgery and I am still not happy. But according to everybody I am beautiful. However I know at the end of day, I'm fake!!! I recently decided that my inner beauty is the thing thats going to make me happy. Thats why I like Quinn, she doesn't try as hard as you to look good. But she sitll is very attractive because she has a sweet personality.

You have done a great job for yourself for being a single parent with raising your son at such a young age, I admire that because I was a single parent once with my son who is now 6 1/2 and I am 27 years old now; I had him at 22 years old. Now, we are a blended family because I am married with someone other then his father and now have a little daughter she's 2 1/2 they are both just beautiful. So, I want to say just keep it up and take care remain successful and don't let your son stress you out. I really believe that you have to let him grow up to be a man and I think it was a good thing that your husband gave him boundaries to live by while in your home. It will help him to be a real man because eventually you want him to be good husband material for a woman and it will not happen if you baby them! Boundaries for young men is so important! I really want my son to be a good man and husband material when he gets older so boundaries are definetly a must at the age of 18. Good Luck! Good Luck!

The first time these kids saw their dad at work? And it just happened to be Ryan went to work there? No wonder your husband loked pissed and suprised all at once. You say you meet him for lunch once a week, where were the kids? I met with my husband 2-3 times a week when he worked a 60 hr week (making a lot less than your husband) and everyone in his office knew who his children were and who I was. The more I watch , the less I'm impressed.

My son's interested in cars as well, but doesn't want to work at a job "changing oil in your grandmother's car". These kids!!! I can't believe Fletcher Jones has 700 employees -- wow! I was there when I lived in OC but didn't realize how huge it is. Look forward to seeing how Ryan makes out there.

I would be surprised if Ryan holds this job for three months before he gets fired. He thinks this job is beneath him and he will probably start slacking off,showing up to work late or not going in at all. He is so used to everything being handed to him that he feels entitled.
Simon has tried to get him to be responsible but he just doesn't get it.

Hi Tamra, just wondering in response to Ryan's issues at work on this episode, he was unhappy with the heat and wanted to work at a desk job. On his myspace page he indicates that he would rather work on custom cars and racing. We've been in racing for years and years and physical discomfort sort of comes with the territory. It's hard to tell what his true aspirations are when watching the show and then follwoing up on his blog, would he really be happy being "uncomfy" with the heat/smells/physical pain that can be synonymous with racing and building/welding cars?! Or as he said on the show tonight -- work in the office as a service advisor potentially earning 5x what he makes now. (If he gets into racing the numbers could be so much more than 100k, but there is very hard work and that dirty word "manual labor" that he so clearly thinks is vile! Which will it be?? It would be interesting to see what Ryan will do with his career as time marches on.

I think it is so lame that Ryan is only making 10.00 and hour. He is working in a multi billion dollar company and living in a very wealthy county. How does anyone live off of 10.00 an hour? I used to live in OC and I hated it. I got out of there as quick as I could. To me it seems only apperance and money matter there. Love is nothing. So I moved back to beautiful Bend Oregon and I am verry happy here. The only problem is is that all the Californians are moving here and bringing a little of CA with them. Give Ryan my sypathy for making dirt for money. And I wouldn't plan on him moving out untill he gets a huge raise.

If Simon had a positive attitude towards Ryan, Ryan would have more respect for him. I have never seen Simon say one positive thing to Ryan, why? I don't blame Ryan for the silly things he does, Tamra he is doing those things to get your attention. He is begging for your attention and approval. Try not to cut him down so much and encourage him to better himself.

Tamra, what was up with that Desiree lady? I would not for a second let my husband hire an assistant who looks ready to go clubbing at any moment. Tamra bring your kids to work more often and make the assistant stay outside of your husband's private office more.... I know you say very little makes you jealous but at least tell Ryan to keep an eye on things.

Ryan is a typical guy from the millenial generation and instead of being forced into Mercedes Benz where he is obviously not that happy, he should be encouraged to find a job in his college area of study. Or he should return to college and start a new course of study where he can easily graduate and get an interesting, stimulating job. He is too young to be in a dead-end job and sales does not seem to be his thing. He seems to be more artistic. He could easily go to art school and go work in Hollywood or Burbank at a studio. As long as he is either working or in college doing something he loves, Simon should be satisfied. I would get him his own apt or get him back into a dorm at college and pay his way for a set number of months and then he has to take over the apt rent or borrow money for the dorm/school. He is too old to live at home anyway. You need to force kids out of the nest to find their own dreams but ten bucks an hour will never really allow him to afford his own place so this hourly job really does not serve him. He seems very intelligent to go search out his real dream and acheive it.

Tamra,

I really liked the new energy you brought to the group, however after last nights show I am disappointed to see that you are living up to the catty stereo type of the OC women. You were incredibly rude to Quinn and made it obvious you were green with envy. She seems to be a really nice lady. Why can younger men only date "hotter" older women? Some men actually date women for their looks AND personality. Also, has Simon ever told Ryan he loves him? If he loves you so much, he should also love Ryan as if he were his own.
You seem to be a really fun person and I'm sure you have a good heart deep down, but making catty remarks about Lori and her money, and Quinn not being hot enough, really make you look like you're not happy with your own life.
I also thought it was sad that you asked Lori and George how many cars they had and after they responded, you said.."that's it?" How many cars do you have? Why does that matter?

Tami,
I must first start out that myself and 7 friends watch the show every Tuesday at my house.
I see that somebody already left you a bad comment about your comments on Quinn. When it first showed her on the show, everyone of us screached and gasped. Your comment unfortunately is striking truth. Also, why did she purposely invite that 26 year old boytoy to the show. Is he looking for exposure for a new acting job? We all thought that she did it to make herself look younger. Sorry sister, you failed and it made her look more like a Grandmother. It is not nice to capp on people, but being real about something shows better then fake compliments.
You state that you are the hottest Housewive, you are! II know that it takes alot of work to keep up your look, but it shows. One of my friends saw you in Mission Viejo. He said you are even hotter in person. Your husband is very hot as well!
We all hope things get better for Ryan. He is just growing up slow. By 30 he will be cool.
Best, Randy

To see him act like that maded me mad because their are so many people that would love and appreciate having that job. I know because I am one of them.

Once you get one you have to get another. Everyone told me I would regret getting them and they were right, well I mainly regret one on my arm( it wasn't the best for my wedding dress). Anyways he's 21 so he is going to do stupid things and make mistakes, but he's a big boy he can deal with them himself.

I've read a few comments others have made about Simon being distant which might have caused Ryan to not be close to him. Being in the situation myself as a stepparent, people don't realize that you do give your all at the beginning, and you try to be consistent. After years of being disrespected by my stepson, he also needs to participate positively in order for us to have a good relationship. The key is that my wife and I are a cohesive unit. Tamra, you told everyone on national TV that you don't agree with your husband, which only allows your son to do whatever he wants. You have to present a united front, make decisions together, and stand by them. Otherwise, you're completely to blame for your freeloading kid. If Ryan feels the $10 job is beneath him, why doesn't he look for a higher-paying job? He's not qualified, that's why. You have to earn your way to the top.

Hi Tamra,
I like you. You are not afraid of being honest, even with yourself.
Simon is right ON about Ryan and you finally realized it. Ryan needs love, we all do, but Ryan needs TOUGH LOVE and you are accepting that.
He has this jealousy of You, Simon and the half siblings going on and it's eating away at him.
For Ryan to call Spencer the Golden Child exposed every bit of envy he has going on. He needs to get over it.
And, as far as your hope that Ryan and Simon "bond" it won't happen if you keep pushing them together in any way. Let the boys work it out and you need to back off.
As long as Ryan harbors envy and resentment, which is NOT your fault, he's not going to know himself. Why should he if you are there shielding him from his own feelings? He has to learn to know himself by himself. You can't do it for him, and it's a disservice to him if you manipulate situations in any way anymore. Stop feeling like you need to be the referee.
He needs to find his own way without your interferance.
He'll turn out ok, but he'll do it faster and better if you leave him to make his own choices, good or bad. He'll learn by his own mistakes, too.
Of course we want to protect our kids, but when they get old enough, we have to let them choose their own paths.

Tamra, I am always the first person to admire the beauty of another woman, and you are definitely a beautiful woman and your body is out of this world...especially for your age! Not sure if that is a result of hard work or the knife, but either way...your beauty cannot be denied. However, your attitude towards other women leaves much to be desired and in my book negates your beauty. Despite your age you seem to lack maturity. You behave in a less than classy manner when you are drinking and your also a very catty woman (comments re: Quinn). Learn to love and support your fellow women! Celebrate their successes...their successes belong to all of us as women. We are subjected to enough of that cattiness as young girls, women. By the age of 40 one would think that we would be SO OVER that and learn to accept ourselves for who we are and stop trying to make ourselves feel better by putting down other women.
In a nutshell, you act like a 20 year old full of insecurities and negativity. In a 20 y/o it is understandable but in a woman of your age and social standing it is actually very unattractive.

I don't usually respond to these things, but in some ways I feel sorry for Ryan. While yes, he could certainly work harder and he shouldn't expect so much to just come to him, there are a few things that some people have pointed out and others are overlooking. He is still very young, and the fact that Tamra and Simon have decided to allow Ryan 'back in to the house' says something. He is only what, 21? 22? He should never have been "not allowed" to live in the house. Especially at an age younger than 20. He must have felt terribly rejected. It may have felt, to him, that his mother was choosing her husband and younger children over him. It's clear he wants his mother's attention. His not getting a job may be his attempt at getting some maternal care he lacked in his later teen years. And let's be honest, Simon does not show him any caring feelings. I am around Ryan's age, I have a job, I am in college, and I have dealt with step-parents. My step-father was very caring and loving, just like a father to me, and is even now that he and my mother have seperated. He NEVER would have treated me in the way that Simon treats Ryan. My step-mother, on the other hand, treated me in the way Simon treats Ryan, and it changed my relationship with my father drastically. I did feel as if he chose her over me. Constantly, and it was hard, because I rarely saw him anyway. I was treated as a guest, not a family member. I see that in the Ryan-Simon dynamic. Ryan DOES need to work harder, but people need to be more sensitive to how tough Simon is on him. He probably feels very unwelcome in what should be considered his own home, but he is treated like a guest.

Hi Tamra,
It was refreshing to see Jo was replaced this season by someone responsible.

Ryan seems to be trying to find himself, it's apparent he didn't have anyone guiding him into a career path at a young age. Hopefully he'll move up the ladder quickly at his new job. Simon doesn't seem to have a lot of patience with Ryan, and Ryan perhaps feels like an outsider living in Simon's home. Your husband may pay the bills but a family is what truly makes a house a home.

Your comment about Quinn only made you look jealous, she's apparently got something going for her to find two very attractive, single men that are interested in her. She appears to have a very positive attitude and enjoys life - men are attracted to women who love life (and vice versa). As long as Quinn isn't dating your son and showing up in your kitchen expecting you to cook breakfast you shouldn't care.

Happy Holidays!

As far as Quinn, if she is in her 50's go out with people close to your own age. Looks like she should be burping these guys thats how young they are. Remember menopause is not that far away. That will turn the young guys off big time!
Love watching the show. I really enjoy it.

Tamra,
I know it is hard to watch any of your children suffer. I can tell you from experience you have to cut the strings and let him learn the hard way before you will see any growing up on his part. He will look back and regret one day how he is acting now. If only he could see how the viewers see him, surely he would change his cocky, I am better than everyone, attitude. You are so sweet and seem like a wonderful mother. Take Simons advice and he will come around.
Love the show,

Kim

Hi Tamra,
What's the story w/ Ryan & Simon.
Their relationship seems very strained.
You mentioned in your bio that you've been married to Simon for 13yrs… so that would mean that he's been in Ryan's life since Ryan was 8 or 9yrs old.
Enough time I would think to build a healthy step-father
step-son relationship.
Has Ryan always lived with you?

Tamra, I've been a full time mom for many years also and you have inspired me to start a career in real estate. You make it look like fun! Loved the comment to Quinn, that's what I call being real. Oh and good for you getting the new smaller implants, you'll still be gorgeous, even more so. Simon obviously cares about Ryan to help him at all, keep up the tough love and he'll turn out ok. God Bless.

Tamra,

You've got to get Ryan out of the house before Simon loses it. The kid needs to stand on his own, he's a lazy moocher and its probably hard to see as his mom, but most parents see it. Also, Simon went out on a limb to get him that Job, and I wonder if Mercedes is happy about having a dim wit shown roaming around the parts department not giving a darn about his work. Be careful Simon, your dealership does not want to cheapen its brand with the likes of Ryan. Simon , you represent the brand well- no more wife and kids at work before Mercedes says enough Simon, these OC woman and kids are hurting our brand image.

Tamra,

I was just wanted to know the job title that your husband holds. I am currently seeking a career change and I love the combination of corporate business and cars (and the pay doesn't hurt). Thank you for your time.
