Hi!!

Ashley will come around one of my favorite quotes "All flowers bloom in their own time"

You and Chris are amazing parents

I understand your relationship with Ashley since I am experiencing similar behavior. Praying daily for strength.

Love your weekly blog posts!! You are one of my favorite housewives, right along with Caroline. Keep doing what you do, you have a great personality. Your husband's a cutie!!!

Good job sticking up for T and Ashli! You are great person and friend.Stay true.

Love you and your family! Story for you, my oldest daughter was 5 years old, it was my birthday my sister called to wish me a happy birthday. My daughter answered the phone and my sister asked her what we were doing for my birthda. I knew by the look on her face she felt so bad and she didn't know it was my birthday. I told her it was ok (with a hug) because she didn't know, it was daddy's responsibility to tell her and take her to the store to get a card and a cake. I then told my husband later that evening when she went to bed, that you will never make our daughter feel like that again! I don't ask for much just a small token with a card and a cake! Not very hard and a lot of fun for a child. If we don't show her how to give the only thing she'll ever know is how to receive. As she got older she would remind her dad and also her sister and brother too. My daughter is now 29 years old married with 3 children of her own. I am never forgotton on my birthday or monthers day. I hope Ashley will come around, your are a wonderfull person, wife and mother I love watching your segments, not so much any more Teresa and her family mess! Have a great day!

Once again, blog nicely and tastefully done!!! I have a 22 year old son, we get along great , now!!! But 17-20 was ROUGH!!!!! It will all come together for her in the next couple of years!!! Hang in there!!!

Hang in there....eventually Ashley will come to respect all you & your hubby have done for her.

If Kathy's family has known Albert all those years, how come it was weird when they were introduced to each other a few weeks back? I don't get that. Please explain.

Mrs. J. hang in there

I love you . And i understand Caroline and Albert had to invite the Wakiles. I love Teresa and her brother. Not so much Melissa and Kathy. Hope gets better next season.

You are the BEST! Love, Love, Love you. Can I be your friend (we would so get along)? Oh wait, I don't live in Jersy. Bummer. lol Seriously though, you're amazing to watch, funny and witty always. You have a great heart as well. Hang in there with Ashley, she's doing fine.

I love how positive you are! You stay true to yourself, family and friends without throwng any of them under the bus even if you don't agree with what they have to say. Everyone should take a look at you at take some much needed pointers!

Jacqueline: I adore you, you are a wonderful Mother. Time to toughen up. Lots of love to you!

I love your family. You are my favorite on the show. Also your husband is the best and hot too. I admire you and your family for setting a good example for your kids and helping other work through their own issues.

It's fun to watch all of the NJ Housewives. You all seem like good people, but I have to say I would vote for you as the nicest, Jacqueline!

J. i love your blogs. have you thought about writing, short stories, book etc. you have a simple and down to earth way of telling your story. i enjoy the show for just what it is-entertainment, and would hope that everyone does the same. your boy CJ is just too cute.

Thanks for sticking up for your daughter this week Jacqueline :-) Being on display like this can do a lot of damage when young people are going through self esteem dips already and trying to find themselves. Don't make her feel small!

JAcqueline Girl you are completely awesome!!! Your sense of humor totally reminds me of my group of friends. God Bless!!!

I think you are becoming my favorite. you crack me up!

I used to like watching you, however, this season you have turned into a sarcastic busybody! Snarky compliments do NOT become you. I guess you reap what you sow.... Ashley is obnoxious, rude, self centered and spoiled. You can thank yourself for that. You learn manipulation from others, and she sure does manipulate you! Perhaps she would be a bit more grateful and gracious had she been taught to be. Shame on YOU when your child knows she is being bought. Mom of the Year, and this didn't happen overnight, an attitude like that takes years of molding, perhaps you should be called Mom of the Decade! Good luck...

Jay Mohr better look out! LOL!

I love you Jacqueline!!! ur my fave Merry Christmas in July

Jacqueline- You are a classy, amazing person, great friend to those you love, caring, and you have great style. I wanted to know where you get your haircut from? Stay strong!

You are truly the peacemaker. Keep it up!!

I wish Teresa would listen to you more often!

i am a single mom, and it is heartbreaking to see how ashley treats you. i hope she opens her eyes and sees what an amazing mom she has. i think you are fabulous!

Jacqueline.. Good luck with your daughter.. my heart goes out to you... Merry christmas and happy new year in Aug.

You have such a good heart and I think you're such a wonderful person! There needs to be more people in the world like you!

You and Chris are amazing parents to all of your kids! Hilarious how your dad said Santa got mad and told the angel to sit on it:) Would love to hear him tell it, lol!

You are amazing!! I have faith your daughter will come around.

You are amazing Jacqueline! Love your peace making skills.

You are amazing Jacqueline! Love your peace making skills.

Jacqueline, everytime I see you and see Ashley it reminds me soo much of myself and my daughter Ashley is the clone of my child!! Same age, same attitude and it drives me so crazy! We spent well over 50k just on her high school education and for what? She's uninterested in school or even getting a job!! Please give me any advice from one great mama to another. We both know they've had such a privileged life and we had to struggle being single parents when they were little! HELP!!

Dear Jacqueline, I feel so bad for you and Chris. It is so obvious how much you love your children. I know how it must have hurt you that Ashley got you nothing for Mother's Day, or Christmas. I think you and Chris have gone above and beyond to give Ashley a good home and let her know how much she is loved. Your calm and wonderful husband Chris tries so hard to be a good father to Ashley but no matter what he does I don't see alot from Ashley showing love toward him. I also think it's wonderful how when you need to use tough love you do. That means you love them and don't just ignore bad behavior. I'ts much easier to let everything go. Bless you both. Ashley it's our mom and dad who are the ones raising you and there for you everyday. Do you watch the show and see how disrespectful you are to your parents. Do you ever look at their faces and see the hurt you cause them. Maybe you need to go and see how children who aren't raised in your lifestyle live and then maybe you would appreciate what you have. Two parents who love you and have worked hard to get where they are without everything being given to them. Also maybe you will learn that giving of yourself is what makes you happiest. You are Blessed Ashley and your parents are trying to make you a responsible adult and let you know that it's a tough world out there and you need to be prepared. Good Luck and God Bless Please just one more thing I love you guys but could you please try to get everyone on the show not to use our Lord's name in a bad what. God Bless you and your family don't give up she will come around and see what a loving caring family she has been blessed to be a part of .

Jacqueling, like you and your husband tons. Ashley just needs to mature, they can be so mature in so many ways that surprise us yet have such a long way to go. You are her rock and her stability and she knows exactly what to expect from you, your total and absolute love and support unconditionally. So it's no risk to her to lash out at you when she's feeling emotional and unsure. Tho it's very hard, don't take it to heart or personally because it's not about you or anything you've done. You're a terrific Mom and your husband is a wonderful Dad to Ashley, she'll "get it" eventually you'll see.

You are a very positive person and try to see the best in everyone! You are a true friend to Teresa but she needs to be pulled in a little. A good friend would tell her she is out of line. Unfortunely, your daughter has a very very bad attitude. Not sure where that comes from. Maybe a little spoiled - but she isn't going to change. Either embrace her for her actions, or throw her out of your house (I like the last solution). Your husband is cool! Sometimes observing too much and not saying anything at gatherings, he seems to be bored. Am tired of Melissa, Teresa, and advice from the great "Caroline". The show need to focus more on you and Kathy.

Jacqueline, Ashley would be lucky to turn out just like you. You're doing your utmost and that's all you can do. Chin up. When you're going through hell, just keep going.

Honestly Jacqueline you're up there as nicest Housewife next to Caroline, but why Ashley is so MEAN and UNAPPRECIATIVE towards you and Chris is beyond me. I would of asked her to move out and give it a shot on her own without any assistance from you or Chris and see how she could handle it. She needs some serious tough love if she cant be kind to you. Sorry honey if this is harsh.

Jacqueline, you and Caroline are my favorites to watch because you both seem the most real and down to earth women on that show. Kathy is great too but I love watcing you with your little one...always on your hip like a real momma! And Caroline is the big sister that I always wished for! Keep it up, I love RHONJ and I hope that you all continue to make more seasons! And Ashley will come around I am sure. I went through that phase with my Mom at a little bit of a younger age but now we are extremely close. Ashley needs to find who she is and embrace it, then she can start improving on her interpersonal relationships. You done good momma, just hang in there, she'll come around...if not get Teresa to flip a table on her (wink, wink)

You have a great wit about you.. You have to add humor to your life or you will go crazy.. I do not think you are a "sarcastic busybody", whoever thinks that must be talking about someone else (K.G.).. As with Ashley, don't feel all alone.. My son is very artistic and his mind goes 90 to nothing.. I don't think the kids realize you have to start at the bottom and earn your place in this world.. They have the world come to them through the internet.. With artistic kids they can create the perfect vision on paper, but do not know how to transfer it to real society or a social enviorment.. I know we do not get to see the great times between ya'll (Yes I'm from Texas), but Most people know this is a T.V. show and editing plays a big part in things..I have Never Ever Ever written into these comments, but I had to let you know there are people out here with the same kind of kids and there is always someone here to listen if you need to Vent.. Have a Wonderful Day, Stacey Squier - FrizzleBitts.com

I admire you for all that you have done for your daughter. I was not as fortunate as Ashely to have a mother like you. I was abandone at the age of 1 by both of my parents. They both went on with their lives and I was left to suffer. At time, I would see my mother with her new family and that would just tear me inside. You have nothing to apologize for and Ashely needs to experience what life could of been like, if you would have optioned to be selfish. Maybe experiencing first had the through community service work with children that are not as fortunate as her. I pray that God will guide her and give her wisdom to understand the wonderful mother he has given her.

love u jaqueline

Jacqueline, I think you need to be a friend to Teresa and have her back. She had yours with Danielle (remember)no questions asked. A friend sometimes doesn't need advice they need you to zip it (Quit blogging your advice)and be there for them and also have their back. Quit trying to act like Caroline the know it all. No one's that perfect!!!

There's nothing wrong with Ashley. She's a normal young person who's trying to figure out where she fits in with the world. Stop expecting things from her and stop feeling hurt. Just be there for her when she needs you. But she does need to get a job! Out working in the "real world" will help her grow up.

Does your daughter sell her art?

Your my favorite on the show, ur daughter and teresa not so much!!! I hope everything is working out for you and your family!!!!!!

Still waiting for your blog.

I know this way off subject but i was wondering if you knew where Dina got your fertility braclet? I have a friend that has been trying to get pregnant for a while...any info would help thanks doll!!

Jaqueline, Hang in there Ashley will mature soon, and show you and Chris the love and respect you both deserve.
