There are many people on here who have many different opinions, bottom line is the decision is yours and Kroy's. I appreciate you putting such an emphasis on Brielle's academics because they are her sole responsibility right now as a teen ager. I have a duaghter who will turn 18 next week and I have told her since she was old enough to understand what I was saying "school is your job!" You shouldn't reward children with bad behavior but struggling in school is a far cry from being undeserving! Brielle could certianlly be doing much worse things than failing math! Keep the emphasis on school, continue to support her with the tools necessary to succeed, Brielle is an intelligent young woman.....she will be fine :)

Kim I love you and your family...a few points...Please settle things with Kandi you 2 were great together....DO NOT get Brielle a car just yet...make her earn it she will appreciate it more.  Now as for your mother and father  try to fix it for the kids sake  they will come to understand your mom is a little off her rocker and your dad is her enabler Good luck to you and yours   love you

Kim & Kroy, I love your new show, how refreshing to see a show on Brovo, with no fighting and screaming at everyone. You are so funny, your girls are beautiful and the baby boys are beautiful and so smart!! You can see that you both are hands on parents the way they respond to you. You all are lucky to have found each other, never let it go.

Sorry getting a scare is a privilege not a right. You must earn it. Hope you took Kroy's advice. I can't believe you can do well in school while having a supportive family and tutors. Hope to daughters see how hard you work to give them a good life and do their best to capitalize on it.

Good luck

No family dispute should be played out in the press. Even if you are on a reality show. I feel for your girls, they have to deal with a lot while growing up. So don't over compensate. You were a hot mess but found a good man. Keep on as you are and let the rest play out as it has to. In the end, its you, your husband and kids, the rest don't matter.

I know it has already played out long before this but I certainly hope I see that you took the back seat to Kroy with the car issue. He seems to have better sense than you do. Learn to trust him.You are lucky to have him and I think you know it. Don't mess this up. You are a better person with him than without, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Okay by way of disclosure I am not watching the show so my comment must be taken with a grain of salf, but I saw a preview of next week where Kim said that she is surprised about her father because she thought he was on her side.  I can't help but ask "Why?"  Has she been in contact with him?  Has she made arrangements for him to see the kids?.  Kim appears to me as one of those people that when she is happy with her life she doesn't care about including others in it.  She pretty much said the same thing about Kandi at the reunion.  Once she didn't need her anymore she just stopped calling.  I think the same may be true of her parents.  Which is sad.  Back to the wedding scene.  First of all if I told my Mom that she wouldn't be allowed in my house anytime she would be like "Yeah right!"  Your parents are family just as much as your husband and children and should never be made to feel otherwise.  I am sure the Mom wanted to show off how well Kim was doing to her sister a little bit but I think that comes from a place of pride.  I think Kim way over-reacted and Kroy came off as a bit of a bully.  The same way he did when Kim was exiting the show.  I think this whole thing could have been overcome if Kim had just been the bigger person and apologized.  And now the girls are going to suffer because they have no choice but to side with their Mom.  Just my two cents.  :)

WHATEVER!!!!!

Listen, I know you got your own show, but PLEASE do not EVER forget where you got your damn start :) I am just saying, RHOA seriously needs you back, they can take ONE of you and replace a certain OTHER NON-housewife and be so much better off for it!!!

I am just saying, you should just come on back where you belong!!! Do IT DO IT@@@@

love ya!

I have never been a big fan of yours Kim but not a hater either.  I like you more away from the Atlanta ladies (which I am neither a hater or lover of them either).  I like seeing you just being a wife and mother.  You seem more real.   With that said.  I 100% agree with you about letting your kids grow up is the hardest part of being a parent.  I too am a single mother and my kids are 18 and 20 now and are spreading their wings.  Teaching my daughter to drive scared me to death.  She was a good girl that graduated high school a year early and that was when she got her car.  My heart is broken with them being so Independent  but that is our jobs as moms to prepare them for the real world.  Its a sad thing for me but happy to know we did our jobs well.  You have good girls and you are lucky.  I wish you continued success and love hat you and NeNe are friends again.  

Kim, happy for you and your kids finding the life you always wanted. But, It is not exactly entertaining For a TV show. Go live your fab life, enjoy, be happy without the cameras.

Kim, you have done a wonderful job so far raising your kids on your own. I do have to agree with Kroy that having a car should be something earned. If her grades come up she gets a car, everybody wins! I think Kroy is the very definition of a good man! Wanting to adopt your girls is nothing short of a true knight in shining armor! You are one lucky lady!!!

I think you're doing, and have done, a great job with your girls and I am so happy you met a man who not only loves his biological sons but your daughters too.  He's a rare good man, who works hard and is sexy too.

I recently went through this problem too.  I didn't want to get my son a car after he got his license.  We had an old van that he said he'd like to use and we said ok, as we inherited a bit of money and had a better car for our use.  However, that old van broke down every time he took it out and so he got a new car because I couldn't stand the idea of him driving an unsafe car.  But he sure didn't get a big or fancy car.  He got the safest cheap car we could find.  He did use it for school and social and volunteer work.  He went to university, and then in October, when he was coming home, I got a call -- from him.  He had been hit going through NYC.  He was ok, the other driver was ok, and the car was a mess.  He had been badly burned by the air bag but shock was the worst problem.  I am very blessed that my boy was returned to me safely.  

My son waited a year from 16 to 17 until he got a car when he proved he was mature enough and, frankly, because I am disabled and driving is hard for me.

Listen to Kroy.  I find it so wonderful that he wants Brielle to be responsible and safe.  You'll still have that great feeling of giving her car keys in a few months or a year.

God Bless!

It's good training for teens to figure out needs from wants.  Your job is to prepare Brielle for real life...and if your instincts are that she needs a car at 16...they are way OFF! Listen to Kroy!!

Brielle does not DESERVE  a car by virtue of turning 16!!!!  Equating having reached a certain chronological age with a kind of entitlement or worse yet with maturity is a ridiculous logic.  At this point I am assuming Brielle is a sophomore in high school.  You must understand that at the end of this semester (June, 2013, her 4th semester of high school), that she will have completed 4 of the 6 semesters of academic grades that colleges will look at when they evaluate her for admission purposes.  Colleges will also be looking at her ACT scores which will come at the end of her junior year, and that  is a mere 2 semesters away.  The ACT measures what you have learned...it typically follows (there are rare exceptions) that if Brielle's grades are bad then clearly she will not have learned as much as the other students who have indeed done well in high school, and those students are who she will be competing with for college admission.  You do have your head in the sand with having hired a high school senior boy to be Brielle's tutor. What Brielle needs is an adult tutor, an adult she can connect with and view to be a mentor!  The last thing Brielle (or any of your children) needs is a mother who is attempting to be her best friend!!!!!  Be her MOTHER.  Step it up Kim, its not too late to be the mom, lay down the rules of what your expectations are and stick to it.  

You are your girls' mother - not their friend.  Stand by your man.  In any household the mother and father should be number 1 and the kids number 2.  That's psychology 101 if you want a happy marriage/family.

I would listen to your man.  Dont do the opposite of what he says. It will affect your relationship because to him it will just be a sign of things to come in the future.  Explain that to your daughter.  Let her know she can earn the car as soon as she gets good grades. I hope you had the strength to stand up and show her how important academics are.  Its easier to just say just say yes...

Academics should always come first. No teenager NEEDS a car. It should be earned and turning 16 isn't enough.

Kim, I got a car when I was 16.  My dad was in the car business, so getting it was easy.  I had terrible grades, skipped school a whole lot, and all it ever did was enable me to go further when I skipped school!  It did not teach me responsibility at all.  I had to learn that later.  It was great to get the car, I was excited and all of that, but in the long run, it really didn't help me at all.  I have to agree with Kroy, just don't get Brielle the car right now.  You'll be doing her a favor in the long run.  Also, I adore K.J. and think he's the cutest thing going and he appears to be very bright.  I love your show this season.  When you were trying to make the video for Kroy on your anniversary, I was dying.  I think you're naturally funny, something that wasn't shown all that much when you were on RHOA.  I don't care if you curse, or what you do, I just like this Kim, this year.  You crack me up, and that's a good thing.  You and Kroy make a very interesting couple, and you both seem to like to laugh, which is great.  Keep it up, Kim.

Kim, I think you shoukd lusten to Kroy on this one. We are going through the same thingbwith my niece. Yes, they dream of getting a carvat that age, however if they aren't responsible enough to be diligent at the only "job" they have...get good grades, then they are not responsible enough to get a car. It is admirable that Kroy woukd like to adopt your daughters, however they have a "father", though he's not in teir lives AND it is too soon in your relationship as you've only known each other for less than three years.. I am glad you aren't cursing as much.

It would be a huge mistake to give your daughter a car. Kroy is the sensible one in the family so you should probably listen to him. Let Brielle earn the right to a car, not just have it handed to her. In the long run she will learn to respect the value of something and the work it takes to get it.

I remember seeing Kim tell Brielle that her and Kroy will not be buying her a car, especially since she wasn't doing her homework.  was that ep one or two??? 

Kim, buy your daughter the car.....I have not yet met....not yet...there is a first for everything...a person who said getting a car at 16 , gift from parents, made them fail life....what a car can do is to provide them with transportation to work and learn some independence....getting those keys, as they pass from your hand to hers...is a powerful moment...remember the first day of kindergarten....you let go of her hand? Giving a teenagers first set of car keys to them is akin to that...you have to give your child a chance to balance independence and responsibility....lots of opportunities do that some would argue...but learning to keep a car going with gas and maintenance is so important for women....I could go on and on with pros...and someone else could come along with cons...but you know your child better than anyone...and finally, let me say one thing...never but never let Brielle be in a position to not be "the" driver....on a sad note, my neighbor learned this in a horrible way....knowing her story taught me a lot....pick your battles, use the car as a tool to teach indepence and responsibility, but please...get her a car

I LIKE THAT MAN OF YOURS!! your daughters will benefit from his wisdom Kim. they will learn to work for what they want and not just have it handed to them and they will value what they have when they do get it.

The show was good. I would have done the same thing by getting her some help. Listen to Kroy he is right about not getting her a new car. Unless she gets a job to pay her payments and ins.

Kim, I know it is "the thing to do" in society.....buying a car for a 16 year old, but you will only be doing her an injustice if you do it "just because"  I totally agree with Kroy, she needs to earn it!  My son did not pass his drivers license until the third time at 17 and I did not run out and buy him a car.  When he got a job and could afford a car payment we went car shopping together and I bought the car but he had to make the monthly payments, insurance and gas.  Also, it was not brand new but a reliable car.  So glad I did it that way because it wasn't long before he had an accident an and had to have the hood and bumper replace (thankfully he was not injured).  A few years later when he had a better paying job he was able to buy a brand new car himself.  By not buying him a brand new car to start and having him pay for it himself really taught him responsible, in addition to being a hard worker.  Listen to Kroy, he is very grounded and makes good decisions.  You are very blessed!

Kroy is such an amazing father and husband! You are so lucky to have found him! You guys are my favorite couple!!
