Hi Gloria, You have two wonderful daughters in Jill and her sister.Even though they like expensive things(especially Jill) they have good hearts. They must get that from you .Jill always was my favorite housewife and as extravagent as she is sometimes she has a giving and caring nature with her charities and with her friends.I hope we see more of you and your Husband next season.I love most of your advice because you tell it like it is.But you do it with kindness and love. My Mother was like that, she said what she had to say, but I knew she loved me and wanted me to do my best.She died in 1995 and not one day goes by that I don't think of her.I have three grown sons now and two Grandchildren and I tell them the truth but always with love and caring.

wow Gloria so glad you have a blog. I really enjoyed your episodes on Bravo and your good advice to Bethany. Hope you are on more. You have a wonderful family. Blessings to you and yours, Sharon (age 63) ;o)

JILL HAD MENTIONED IN ONE OF HER BLOGS THAT YOU SUFFERD THROUGH A BOUT OF PANCREATITIS .I JUST WENT THROUGH THAT ORDEAL MY SELF AND ALSO HAD TO HAVE MY GAULBLADDER OUT ... I HOPE YOUR FEELIN MUCH BETTER IM STILL A LITTLE WEEK FROM THE SURGERY BUT HOPE TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY IT REALLY MADE MY UNDERSTAND NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR HEALTH WISHING YOU AND JILL HEALTH AND HAPPINESS!!!! LESLIEANN

Dear Gloria, I LOVE YOU!!! I hope and pray that Bravo realizes that you are the real star of the show...and offers you a regular spot on the Real Housewives of NYC! I Love You, Jill, and Bethany!

Hugs and Blessings

Dear Gloria,

Jill and her sister are so blessed to have a wonderful mom like you. You make mothering look so easy and in particular, the advice you gave to Bethany was so heartful and loving that I can only wish to learn from you and hope you will continue on the show.

Dear Gloria,
Really loved you on the show. You must be very proud of your daughter.

My questions is how do I handle inlaws that call twice a year, never see their grandson or phone to see how he or their son is. When I do see them it's hard to be polite.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Um, I TOTALLY agree that Gloria is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR!! Someone like her is long overdue for the times we are currently living in. She is straight up old school. Finally somebody with some common sense. I love that you are just a simple basic woman and you are not trying to be something you're not. There are so many fake and phony things out there, and Gloria aint one of them! I'm glad someone has the decency to come out and try to give some real wisdom to a culture that has lost all touch with reality.

Did I mention how much I love Jill?!! And yes, I'm following her on twitter, lol...

Hello Gloria: Just wanted to tell you that Jill is my favorite out of all of the Housewives on each show. She is truly outspoken, but without Malice. She appears to be very down to earth and very blessed, YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB for she is not snooty.

Gloria,

please answer this. I have been dating a nice jewish man for 3 months. He told me he doesnt like a title as in "exclusive". We see each other every weekend and once during the week. I would like to be in an "exclusive" relationship. What should i do? He is 60 and I am 52. We are both divorced and I have 2 grown children. He is a very successful man. We have a great time together but I would like to be considered his "girlfriend". Please answer...............

Dear Gloria - I often think of the wonderful conversation you and Bethany had Jill's kitchen. It made me weep. My mother recently died and i miss her terribly. We had a challenging relationship but I loved and respected her very much.
My daughter (one & only child) recently left for college and I fear our relationship has waned. Up to her departure we fought frequently and it seemed I couldn't do anything right. I am increadibly proud of her and respect her for her accomplishments. but I fear she mistakes my saddness as resentment for her departure.
A mother and daughter relationship is like none other, and any advice you can offer in helping me maintain a healthy bond with my daughter would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Lorry

Dear Gloria
I have a friend who has had a VERY hard life. She grew up with a sick sibling (from birth), her family had very little money, and her parents often fought. She was a bit of a rebel growing up, but her parents hardly noticed (even bought her alchohol) since they were always so busy with their situation. She is the strongest person I've ever known. She is always taking care of others and never herself. She rarely shows emotion and hardly communicates if she is upset. She just bottles it up and puts away. I've seen it play out in our friendship, her marriage and basically every aspect of her life. She was basically born to be an adult. Recently her sibling passed away. I know its going to be a hard road for her. I have mentioned the idea of therapy to her before but she hasn't taken me seriously. I really think this is the time she will 100% need. How can I convince her to go and let it all out with a therapist?? This has been bottled up inside her for almost 30 yrs!
Thanks!

Dear Gloria...your daughter and I both have something very special in common....we both have fabulous and very smart mother's name GLORIA! Thank you for raising such a classy woman.
My question is, I met a new man this past July 4th...he is very sweet and generous but very complex. The problem is he says all the right things but his actual follow thru of his actions and words tend to never come to life. I own my own business and truly don't need another man to take care of me. I'm just looking for someone to love me and someone who has my back and will love me back as much as I love him. I send him a card that might have been a little too much about how I feel about him. Do you think I may been too forthcoming with my feelings too soon??? Please help me Gloria make the right decision. Duane

Hi Gloria,
I hope that you and your family are doing well.
I was wondering what advice you would have for someone who lacks some self confidence because of bullying/drama that has gone on in the past?

Hope to see you next season.

Hi, Gloria.. You are a wonderful lady and we love your family. Wish all of the housewife shows were like the NYC.. the others are getting very tacky and obscene. The NYC show is the classiest and the only one left that shows real wives/mothers/career women and their lives.. the rest are getting so crude and mean and over the top with money/gold digging young women.. I hope that the NYC will keep its high class.. esp. your daughter...

Hey Gloria! I absolutely adore you and your children (I included Bethenny).

My parents divorced when I was six and my father has never really been in my life. I have always been very close to my mom and my sister. My sister went to college in my hometown and she just graduated. She found a job and moved very far away. I just graduated from high school and I decided on a school about 4 hours away. However, I am very concerned about my mom. This is the first time in 25 years she'll be living alone with not even a pet as comfort. What can I do to make her a little less lonely and me feel a little less guilty?

hey gloria.
just wanted to say i loved your advice to bethanny.
im 22 but feel like im 30 and already got my life set because i grew up early.
my mother and i have indentical personaltys.shes 50 and still is single.i feel like im following her footsteps and i feel im going to end up like her.
i follow/followed her dating habbits.
do you beleive that our parents realationships are a direct influence on our future realtionships?

Hi Gloria,

I have been engaged for 2 1/2 years and have no wedding plans. Every time I talk to my fiancee about it he has other projects on his hands right now and he tells me to wait a few more months... well that few more months turned into 2 1/2 years. Also, he his two sons.. one in college and one in high school and every weekend we are all together, I never get to spend alone time with my fiancee and he sees nothing wrong with this. Am I being selfish about his kids (I don't have any of my own) and when we are together they are constantly disrespecting their father and I was not raised to disrespect anyone let alone my own father. Do you think I should just hang in there and wait or should I break off this relationship and move forward?

Thank you and I just love your family!

Gloria, I absolutely adore you and wish so much I had a mother or confidant like you. The few episodes I've seen you in I learned so much!!! Thank you. I so hope to not only see more shows with the "girls" but they MUST have you in more of them!!!

Love you bunches!!!

XOXOXOXO

Erika
