Kathy, Do you really think people are watching this show for parenting advice??????

Kathy you must be playing it safe this week because your blog had nothing to do with the show. I thought it was nice that you went to talk to Caroline, but really what did you expect. You started talking about Teresa's faults and you were saying all this to someone who is Teresa friend not yours. And I do not believe for one minute that when you were talking to Teresa that night that you were coming from a place of love. Maybe you need to watch the episode again, you started out with an attitude and just keep going with it. Right now I believe that you and Melissa are just trouble makers. You and Joey both commented in the first episode that blood is thicker then water, well Joey is your blood and Teresa is blood and guess what Melissa is not blood to you at all, yet you take her side over Teresa's. You don't make any sense. You are just trying to make yourself look good in other peoples eyes. Like you are so upset by all of it and want your family together. If you really cared about your family and coming from a place of love then you would have said something to that trouble maker Kim G. when she put Teresa down at Posche. But all you and Melissa did is laugh. Did that laugh come from a place of love? You want to do something good? Then stop stiring the pot and stop trashing Teresa. Give it a try. Next week try blogging about the epsoide.

Kathy Im a Jersey girl born and bred at the beach, I have to tell you that bennies from "up North" call it the "shore" and locals refer to it as the beach! Noone who grew up at the beach in NJ refers to it as the shore!

Kathy, just a little reminder, the intention of the blog is to provide your personal insights to the episode, not to udate us on the wonders of the Jersey shore. If you're going to take the time to write, please do us the courtesy of providing an honest perspective on that episodes happenings.

The more the show goes on the more I don't like you, Caroline is right why explain yourself to her why not call your FAMILY and work it out with them?

good advice, i take it the episode left you nothing to blog about? That's ok, thanks for trying to make peace tho!

Kathy, I'm not going to lie, I didn't think that I was going to like you when you were first introduced on the show.. I thought you reminded me of the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz on that bike scene from the store! But I'm starting to see your perspective a bit more. Your parental perspective is refreshing and I'm now pretty excited to see you later on! Michael from Houston!

First few words to Bravo: PLEASE post my comment!!! I have been a loyal viewer and I wrote many comments, however they never get posted, so I am keeping my fingers crossed :) Ok, now about tonight episode... Kathy- you were telling Caroline how you are trying to make peace in your family so you approached Teresa at the Brownstone- BS girlfriend!!! If you truly want to make things better between you and Teresa, you should have call her and invite her to your house like you did invite Melissa and Joe. When those two clowns came to your dinner, all you, your husband, snake Melissa and savage Joe (sorry but this guy has no manners) were again talking bad about Teresa and how she ruined the christening. True, Teresa and her husband are not perfect; nobody is, but your approach suck and you don’t come across as the peace maker!

ummm....ok then you are supposed to comment on the episode. Caroline already gives advice and she has a separate blog for that.

Thank you for your kind words about our military :)

I will be a bit further south than you this summer -- Florida for a week!! Then here in Kansas we have a couple of fairs. And lots of pool time :)

Hope you are enjoying your new car. By the way, your husband cracks me up!! He is so funny.

seriously ...u think u know everything. stick to raising ur own family and let teresa and her brother work this out...geezzz i wish u werent on the show

Team Kathy all the way! Caroline should listen to you.

Aren't you supposed to be addressing the show in your blog?? Oh and not everyone in Jersey calls it the "shore." Me and my entire family who were born and raised in Jersey call it the BEACH.

Sounds like you want to be the new Caroline. You're way too phoney! there can only be one and we love her! You and Melissa need to leave! You've caused nothing but problems and you both act just like Danielle, starting stuff and then acting like the innocent ones!

This is not twitter nor facebook. Your blog is supposed to be about this weeks episode!!!!! Have a great summer

I just watched the new episode and I have a question... what exactly did you hope to accomplish by talking to Caroline? She's Teresa's friend and I don't foresee you swaying her to your dysfunctional side in the near future... just sayin.

I like you, but aren't you supposed to be blogging about the series?

Here's what I'm up to: I read your blog just now to see what you had to say about this night's episode and while it's great to hear parenting advice, that's not why I read your blog. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the episode.

Kathy, do you see that thing in the corner with the lense? It's called a camera and what you say and do is being recorded and shown to us on Monday nights. Please don't treat the viewers like we are stupid. You attacked Teresa at the Brownstone..you did not go in with good intentions and I can't believe you think that we buy it.

Kathy, I'm not going to lie, I didn't think that I was going to like you when you were first introduced on the show.. I thought you reminded me of the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz on that bike scene from the store! But I'm starting to see your perspective a bit more. Your parental perspective is refreshing and I'm now pretty excited to see you later on! Michael from Houston!

stay away from Melissa

Kathy, I think you are great which is why you should probably leave the show. These other folks are just too messed up.

Why didn't you call Teresa to explain yourself. How dare you to go to Caroline's house to trash Teresa? What a nerve!

Kathy - I like you and appreciate the reminder to be safe - I tell my children everytime the go camping and they are 21, 23 and 25!

I love getting to know your family as the season progresses - you seem real and down to earth to me and obviously love ALL your family - extended family as well. Keep doing what is right - and stay happy and grounded with your husband.

Kathy, I'm glad you joined the cast! I think I am really going to like watching you this season. My only wish is that you would blog more about the show and your feelings about the show. Best Wishes always!

Caroline was rude to you. She"s not worth your time.

I am still trying to figure out what was your intention with Caroline, because you were out of line in causing a problem with Teresa when she and her brother should speak.

@Tan73 - LMAO!

HAHAHAHA Tan73 you kill me! so right on! Hey Kathy where's your commentary on the show? Why is this show turning into the Teresa and her family show!?!? It is losing the whole Housewife concept - it's now housewives their hubbies their cousins their in laws etc. FOCUS PEOPLE!!!! I'm about done! Plus I'm Sicilian and getting embarrassed by this circus!

I think you are a bit of a hypocrite. First you complain that Teresa ruined your chance to make a good first impression with Caroline, when it was you initiating the talk with Teresa that was at an inappropriate time and place.Then, you arrive at Caroline's with an armful of gifts to impress her. And once she puts you in your place, you say,"I'm a grown woman. I don't need to get anybody's approval", and then "I don't need to win over a friendship". This all sounds like you are either confused about yourself or are,like I said, a hypocrite. So which is it? You like to make a good first impression, or you don't care about getting anyone's approval or friendship? Then you have your husband blaming Teresa for everything that happened. And instead of taking some responsibility, and setting him straight, you act just like Melissa and her sisters, not taking responsibility for your own actions, letting Teresa take the blame in your husband's eyes, feeling sorry for you. You try and act civil, seems like from your blogs, but then we see the show and that all is negated by the way you act.

love you......

Why oh Why did you try and get Caroline involved in YOUR fight? Looking for more camera time?

That's funny how you say NOTHING about tonight's episode. Is it because you're ashamed of begging for Caroline to like you?

Are you kidding me? Caroline is so right as usual.

Are you kidding me with the blog? Caroline is right, as usual.

What? You didn't even talk about the episode like you are supposed to. I don't care about parenting and memorial day isn't about those serving now, but those that have died in war.

Exactly Tan73. Last week you try to say you went after Teresa from a g00d place in your heart. You are so transparent. You blamed Teresa for the incident at the christening. It was NOT teresa's fault and Teresa does NOT owe Melissa or Joey and apology. They owe Teresa one. Watch the show, lady. You really need to mind your own business and see reality as it is!

These weather reports and parenting advice are a big snore. The purpose of writing a blog for a reality show is to discuss the episode. Everyone expects you to defend your own crazy behavior. It's even okay to gossip about other cast members. Anything to entertain the fans. Your blogs sound like public service announcements. Bring on the drama!

I would take parenting advice from Caroline she has raised great kids. That love thier mom very much.

I'm not sure if you actually believe your own spin on how the "brownstone incident" went down, if so you might want to do some knocking on that head of yours (click,click,click...lights are on NOBODY IS HOME)

By the way...congratulations... You made it through something without ripping Theresa to shreds....

Kathy, don't get pulled into the middle of the Gorga family mess! You seem to be a nice lady who is trying to make peace with it all. But only Teresa and Joe can work this out.

I find it really funny how your blog is about the most random things just to avoid the topics of this weeks episode (which is what your supposed to be writing about). Obviously it is because you are embarrassed with how you ran to Coraline's house to talk smack about her good friend instead of calling Teresa yourself and explaining what bothers you about the past. Kind of ridiculous how you are making yourself look on nation television. Grow up!

I appreciate how important family is to you. As a mother, I really relate to and admire the way you look out for the children in all situations. You are a class act lady! I am so happy you are on the show this season we are able to watch you and your beautiful family each week.

Hello...your advice column is better suited for a magazine or the notes page on facebook. This is a blog about the show you are on. Your husband's comments about WHY he bought you a new car were ridiculous. IF you all stopped and listened to how much YOU all mentioned Teresa you would realize you are the ones with the problem with her rather than her having the problems with you. Think about it.

Kathy, I liked what you said on the show about being well taken care of and not spoiled!! My husband treats me like gold, but I dont feel the word spoiled is very nice either, because when you think of someone as spoiled, it makes people think that the person being spoiled is also ungrateful for whats being done for them, and I appreciate and love everything my husband does for me, we dont have alot of money, but he takes care of me in alot of little ways, and it seems when you have your air time with your family, you appreciate and love them very much!! So enjoy being well taken care of by the man who loves you!!!!

Kathy if your heart is in the right place; stop picking sides and tell Joey he is wrong just as you told Teresa. Little Ms. Melissa and her sister would never let you or any of your family destroy her and her sister relationship. I don't see how you all can let her do so much to hurt your family. Melissa is looking for fame in all the wrong ways-FAMILY is always FIRST.

Kathy,

What, no mention of your pot-stirring? Oh, that's right. You come from a place of "good", and are trying to help. NOT!!!

Kathy, You are obviously avoiding the show in your blog. I like to read the blogs because I get to see another point of view concerning the activities on the show. What's going on? Half the show was about you - couldn't even say you love your new car - nothing??

Kathy, Dont blog again if all you are going to do is avoid the episode. BTW i wish when i was sad my husband would/could bring me a new mercedes...

Kathy - I hate to be the one to correct you, but not everyone from Jersey says, "down the shore" . People that actually live in central or south Jersey just refer to it as " going to the beach". Atleast that's what people who live within a 15 to 30 minutes of the beach call it. It's a little annoying when people from Northern NJ refer to it in that "shore" way. You do know that we refer to anyone up North as "bennies", right? Anyway, hopefully you enjoyed your holiday weekend and didnt get stuck in the hours of traffic on the Parkway. As for the show tonight... why bother sucking up to Caroline? You dont even know her. She's not related to Teresa, she's a friend . You should really try and remain neutral and that means not siding with Melissa and Joey. You know they're just as wrong as Teresa -- you were sitting right at the table during the christening fight and you never opened your mouth to defend your own cousin against Melissa's sister's verbal diarrhea of the mouth. SO why would you try and play mediator at this point? You had an opportunity to lighten the tension when Joey came over your house with his wife -- instead you allowed them to bash Teresa and you agreed with everything they were saying about her. It's all a bit transparent. The viewers aren't stupid.
