Lynn,

I think Alexa is taking advantage of you and you need to punish her, she is very disrespectful. You need to do something about her right now before its to late!!!!

Has Lynne left the House wifes of Orange County?

Hi there,
Just wanted to say how much I think Lynne looks like Hilary Swank!
That's all!

Lynne, I love you, Gretchen and Jeana. The rest are a plastic bore. You my dear have more class in your pinky than the snobs put together. All the best Sweets. Janet from TX. xxx

Lynn, I have kids your girls age they do push to see how far you will let them go. Lynn, they have enough friends they need you to be their mother. I have a child who did the same thing he no longer had his phone and i took his keys. He was not happy but he got the point now I have no more problems with him being home on time. You gotta hit them where it "hurts". They will respect you more.

Lynne I hope that you can be woman enough to tell your daughters no and yes. LEARN TO BE A MOTHER TO THEM NOT A FRIEND. That is why they don't respect you is because your too busy trying to be a teenager with them that you forget they need someone to tell them what is right and wrong and what no and yes is. You allow them to get away with too much and it breaks my heart that they talk to you the way they talk to you so rude and how disrespectful they are. Yeah, cosmetic surgery is back seat to your house. BE a mother not a teenager for goodness sake..

Lynn I love you. I love all the OC housewives except for Alexis. My only issue with you is your kids need some discipline especially the younger one. Where I come from if I called my mother a bitch I would be out on the street after a huge whoop-ass! Please enforce some discipline in them. I dont see anything wrong with you getting a drink to unwind. I also think your husband really really loves you so just get a financial counselor and work it out girl! Love Love Love ya!

Lynne,

I wish this season had come out 3 years ago. My husband screwed up our finances and everything else. I felt like I had no choice but to leave. Maybe if I had seen what you're going through back then I wouldn't have left. Funny, in the long scheme of things money really isn't that important. Relationships make life worth living.

Kudos to you for taking care of you and your family first.

Great post, I voted for it on Digg

HI, LYNNE whear can i buy your jewelry?

Hi Lynne, I think you are beautiful. So glad you decided to stay with Frank, he is such a loving suportive man that got caught up in this poor economy. I agree rasing teenagers is tough..wasn't sure I would survive that period of my life..but you will as I did. You and Frank are the only ones that didn't get caught up in the drama and stayed true caring friends to the others. Good Luck!

hi lynne where can i buy your jewelry??????? We love you in appleton wisconsin!!!!!!!

Hi, Lynn: I respect your decision to stay with your husband. The situation could have been the break in your marriage but YOU kept it together which should be viewed as a lesson for young couples who divorce for much less reason. Good luck to you. Also, I hope your girls are viewing episodes to realize how whack they are when they disrespect you but most imporant, that You should not suffer for giving them a good life. Wise up gals.

Lynne, I always thought you were the middle one in the beginning; meaning you didn't take sides and just went with the flow. I really do think you mean well, but sometimes we need help from outsiders. When Gretchen offered to help be an ear for your daughter she made fun of Gretchen. You were insulted by thinking Gretchen was trying to overstep her boundaries, but Lynn she was being a friend. She was being a true friend to YOU!!

Hope next season the two of you mend fences and move on. I sure hope you and and your husband work things out for your daughters. It really is never too late!! I have (5) kids and have been there and done that and I right now am dealing with preteen twin boys. I just had a melt down tonight as a matter of fact, but I just keep on keepin on. You have to. It's all going to pass.

You must have respect from your children! They love you; so demand it! God Bless! Your cuffs rule!

Lynne,
I loved your gold necklace on the reunion show and have to buy one. May I ask where you purchased it?
Thanks

I really felt for you being a new housewife, having a sassy teen daughter, and then being judged by some of the other women who CLEARLY have never raised a teen girl. One should never judge another parent b/c every child is different. My son acts like a maniac sometimes and it's just his personality. Sometimes I wish I had a nice quiet child, but then he wouldn't be who he is. So, I support you, she's just going through a faze. I was the same way - I did whatever I wanted, and my mom tried to hold me back and it just made me rebel more. I turned out just fine and so will she. Good luck.

Lynne I love you! Your my favorite seriously!!!!

Lynn,
Please sweetie,I dont understand how u let your daughters get away with that behavior.Surely u see these episodes.u CANT BE YOUR THEIR BEST FRIEND AT THEIR AGE. i HAVE TWO SON 27 &20, AND TWO DAUGHTERS 26 & 19. i AM MY DAUGHTERS BEST FRIEND PERIOD.But not until they reached leal age.it seems to me u guys live way beyond ur means and u give in to the youngest one whenever she crys(by the way, thats an act she knows works on u) My daughters yelled at me all through their teen years "I hate u mom" but my kids never got what they wanted by crying or wineing, the had jobs @ 16, and now they thank me for being the mother I am, the never used drugs, they finished school with honors and had children after they were married.

Lynn, Lynn, Lynn, stop blaming and take responsibility. Yes, Frank should have been honest, but its not like you were totally in the dark about your financial situation. And you girls? Do not allow them to disrespect you. You are still taking care of them and the must respect you or get out on there own. Good luck with the cuffs.

I just wanted to say that i saw the episode of you kicking a bag during some fight. they were good kicks, and you took instruction well. You're the coolest lady.

Hey Lynne,
Don't ever forget how precious u r!! You would completely be a friend to those that love u. RARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not where to purchase your cuffs but I LOVE them.
Could somebody help me. New at blogging etc.

Thanks Lynne for being a wonderful person. I wish all the happiness and prayers to u and ur family!=)

We play the Alexa drinking game at our house....every time she says "like" while speaking, we take a drink. IT IS SOOO ANNOYING... LIKE, PLEASE STOP OK, or we're going to all end up alcoholics.

Well, you appear to be a nice person and you care about your fellow housewives. Although you family financial plight is sad, I don't necessarily feel sorry for you. People who are truly challenged by economic crisis, do not go out to dinner in nice restaurants or fly to SF with the girls. Now, I am not naive, so I know that Bravo or someone, is footing the bill for all of this, but it is difficult for people to feel sorry for you because you aren't really suffering.

You and your husband, are too concerned about being your children's friend. Children need boundaries and parents who have a backbone. Your children clearly know how to manipulate you and know how to pour on the tears. They aren't very good actress' though.

I grew up in the OC. I'm 47 and it wasn't a stigma or status back then. My folks had money and lived on the coast. Still do. I don't. I think the way your children treat you and your husband is appalling. You blame your husband for lying to you but you are the epitome of a woman who does not care one way or the other if she brings her man down so she could save face by her misconception of how she FITS into a economical and social class of society. You are a FAKE!

YOU have destroyed your family single handedly. Your kids are pissed off because you lied to them all of their lives about your financial and social status in life. You have raised BRATS. Full on BRATS! If any child in our family ever spoke to us or acted with such hateful disrespect there would have been serious consequences.

It was painful to watch your husband become the family villain in you and your children's eyes because it is painfully obvious he was just afraid of the confrontation of pain, hate and demoralization that you and your "girls" would have knowingly slammed him with.

You need to grow up! You identify with your teenagers, which is just messed up for a Mother to do so intimately, and NOT her own HUSBAND? An adult partner you have been married to for how many years and YOU let HIM down. And don't think anyone who works hard for what we have thinks that THIS is NOT so.

I'm just disgusted by you and your self proclaimed wonderful, loving children. I hope your husband bows out to save his life. You will kill him one way or another. Oh... and... BTW. Nice touch to go through the expensive Plastic Surgery when you and your kids were already aware of a "problem" if your were moving every 6 months since the kids were little. If you don't OWN.. get out of town.

Lynn--

You seem like a very kind and sensitive person, but your values (as well as your daughters') have been warped by the OC lifestyle. For their sake, I hope you will gain the insight and vision to see clearly what kind of women your daughters are becoming: shallow, spoiled, unlikeable, undereducated, perpetually discontented. It's time for some tough love--they need a good kick in the butt! Your priorities are all wrong. Go to church, feed the poor, send leather jacket/unnecessary facelift $$ to Haiti--do something and feel something for someone other than yourselves. Your family's Karma will improve, I promise.

Hey Lynne! First of all let me just say that I and so many others appreciate your personality! I think it's great to see a house wife be their authentic self.. Along with Jeana that is.
Now, I say this with absolutely NO judgement ( bc truly who are "we" to judge!) having said that, I am a psychologist, and Lynne your beautiful girls are indirectly begging you to give then some kind of structure. I myself am only 24-- and believe me I was as carzy and wild as they come but I also know that kids/teenagers need boundries. Of coarse they will resist you outing limits on them but it is so apparent to us as viewers that they are telly needing some regulations.. They are truly asking for them. It really makes us (teens/young adults) feel loved when we have the people we care for most, setting limits for us. You have two beautiful girls with so much promise-- just guide them.. Don't worry about being their friend at this age; be their mother and TRUST me in 5 years or less, honestly they will love and appreciate you so much for being their mother and then in turn that motherly relationship will merge with an appreciation for you and what you have done for them and the line between mother and friend will become one. Please trust me, I was just as crazy or crazier than your two girls and I speak from experience not from a place of judgement. -- all the best, A Friendly Voice!

You are a very sweet lady!! A little to trusting!!! You need to open your eyes and see people!! They are not what you want them to be!!!! You and your husband need to work things out!!!! He loves you and wants to give you and your girls everything,but he is only one person!!! He needs you !!!

Lynn,
FIrst of all I am not just another fan I am someone who understands "be afraid, be very afraid" I have two teenage daughters. One is 16 almost 17 and is a junior in high school and we are dealing with the car situation and we live in LA and in Orange County/Laguna Beach! Our other daughter is a freshman at SDSU, San Diego State University she will 19 on March 1st. When you said that statement my heart and soul went out to you!!!No one and I mean no one, can understand these years with teenage daughters until you are there!! Even when you said to Alexis "yours are all safe watching Barney" I think of the same memories!! you are not alone! Please know this! In fact I think I can help in two ways. First of all, I am a personal shopper for a group of women who I have shopped for many years and I know they would love your cuffs, so please get in touch with me asap so we can meet and I can pick out several for them and I can promise you that once i start using a particular vender/style/product you can depend on my business. So, I believe I can help with your financial situation very easily, in fact because I am in Laguna a lot I have a suite at one of the resorts there, once you contact me we can talk more and meet in person for business and we can all so discuss our daughters. I hope I hear from you soon to get my customers some of those cuffs and to also talk about our girls. It is very convenient, in fact I saw Jenna at this resort last weekend, it is beautiful and we could have a great time. my email is housemom@sbcglobal.net. look forward to hearing from you, i hope you actually get to read this, it would really be sad if you did not.
Take care,
Lori

I thought last year Lynn was the best housewife. I have changed my mind. Anyone that lets their daughter's act the way they do cant be too much. I would like to smack that young one in the mouth, she sure needs it. I would never put up with the crap she dishes out to her parents. Lynn get real spending all that money on cosmetic surgery (I cant tell any difference) going on the trip & the leather jacket, are you for real? I fell sorry for the husband. He would really be the lucky one if his wife & daughters did stay gone, maybe he could get back on his feet & find someone that really appreciates him.

Seriously I really started to like you lynn. You were hard to figure out! But honestly in that hotel room as your husband told your daughter how much he loved her you just sat there with weirdness in your eyes....ARE YOU THERE....Stop making this man look bad, you are just as guilty as him.>People make mistakes all the time. Now I know that this must be hard on your daughters, but alexa is a spoiled brat, tell her this is reality and we are all dealing with it... GET over it...Step up and move on with or without your husband. HHHH

lynne,what kind of wife are you.You took a good man who you vowed to be with for better or worse and belittled him to the point of embarrassment.At a time,when couples should be pulling together to get over the hump of this bad economey,You show the worst example of cutting and running back to momma when times got tough.My sister tried that trick and my Mother shut the door in her face and told her to go back to her man and sort it out.That time has now passed for them and they are better than ever.Quit being a spoil brat, go back to him .Show him that you love him.Help him through this tough spot you marriage will be stronger for it.I hope that your marriage and love is not based on money.I believe that if you had been paying attention more you may have picked up on a few clues.Times are bad and you buy a 1100 dollar jacket.That just shows how cluless you are.This problem is between you and your husband.When your girls start paying rent or helping in the economics of the household then their input should kept to a minimum.Your daughter is just like you.She doesnt really want to know about nor deal with when it comes to light.your husband is a pushover to you girls,he did everything he could to keep yall in the lifestyle that you were accustomed to.Yall didnt appreciate him when times were good and all you girls can do is kick him when the man wwas down.go to him ,tell him you love him,ask him how you can help,Be a example to other women who find themselves in similar situation.DONT drive him away or to suicide.Carl

Lynne,
I like you. I love your cuffs. Your daughters are spoiled brats. "keeping up with the Jones" is what I think about when I hear you talk about them and how life should be. They need to be intriduced to how life really is,. There are good times and bad times. They need to learn how to think of others and not only themselves. They are not homeless, in bad health or seem to be wanting for anything other than sound guidance from a mother, not a friend. They are disrespectful to you and their father.

Nobody is perfect, Alexa had no business at that meeting between you and her father and they way she talked to him and acted towards him was totally disrespectful. Maybe she should get a job, learn some responsibility. Do some volunteer work so that she can see that there is a world out there that does not revolve around her wants, needs and how things appear to her OC friends. If you are living above your means than it is time for a reality check. That usually means that the whole family pitches in for the good of the family. It doesnt mean telling your father that you don't trust him. It means appreciating your parents for providing for them, whatever their faults.

I doubt that she will be able to make it in the real world on her own.

Again,
she needs some guidance and counseling.

Daphne

It makes me sick to see the way that you are raising your girls...I hope that you watch these episodes and learn from them and change the way you are raising your children.

1. Dad- grow some balls and be a dad, that means put your foot down with your kids and wife and tell them they can't get a nose job and face lift because you CAN'T AFFORD it!

2. Mom- When you met with your husband at the hotel and your daughter was with you, that was totally inappropriate! If you and your husband can not get along and you know there is a lot to be discussed between you and your husband, the kids should NOT be there to witness it.

3. Even though neither daughter should have been at the hotel visit to dad, it made me sick when you said "Raquel was unavailable" to go to the FAMILY meeting at the hotel...it's like who wears the pants? You or your daughter? Your daughters are craving a mom and a dad, not a friend or someone to pay for unnecessary things.

If licenses had to be issued before you could have children, the 2 of you as parents would not have passed! I hope you can grow up and see what the real IMPORTANT things are in life and how to enjoy each other rather than focus on material items like clothes, houses or cars.... Sad that I'm 23 years old and know these things and you do not. Try to look at less fortunate families and be happy that you have a healthy family and regardless of what roof you have over your head (be it a hotel, rental house, relatives house, etc.)your blessed to have one at all!!

Dear Lynn,
I have loved you being on the show i thought u were sweet kind i think you have been great for the show.
Until now i dont know if your husband is letting this if this is an act that you mis treating u husband like this.
I JUST DONT GET THIS.maybe your husband made a mistake ,but hon you made the comment you knew that his job was not good with economy so why as you admitted to this would you ever and your daughter have the cosmetics surguries that would of covered alot of the bills number two no child has the right to question any parent on bills its ridiculous lynn i think your good person i am not trying to be dis respectfull at all, but the thought that your daughter was outright questioning yelling pouting and being disrespectfull to her father and you letting her again doing it, and this i can tell you exactly why your husband was afraid to say anything to you all can you see it. You all act like you husband is nothing more than money to you all you and your daughter owe him an apology. i know you all were embarrased but its done its over your and your daughter were not blamed about the eviction your husband stood up as a real man took the blame made sure you didnt look bad on tv . if you ever had any love for this man other than his money let it be over . Because you wont and cant make it on your own ,i dont mean in mommies house your own .you do not have a job yes you have your jewelry but as you shown you and your daughters take take why could you not get a job not your jewelry line a real job and contribute you instead of sucking the life out of your husband have you all ever thanked him so you never had to work how lucky you are hon but what bothers me your trip the money you made is yours but his money is everyones .what is wrong with that picture you buy 11oo coat while your husband is struggling to make end meat but you all blame him thats just mean. he has done everything to make it right except go to his grave what do you want from him .
It just seems you are going to keep treating him like crap until he can afford the expensive lifestyle you and your girls are used to because that is what the show portrays why you all are treating hin like this. maybe you dont realize you are doing this but you are and you and need family counciling if he can ever make enough money for ya to forgive because of a LIE AND EMBARRASSMENT.
Lynee i dont want to see a divorce but you need to ask yourself and daughters if i choose not to stay with my hubby or he has enough and moves on to someone who really loves and respects him for him not money you can only push a person for so long he be a good catch can u and the girls make it on your cuff line on your own not with your parent then you girls see you cant keep your lifestyle up or you kids you aint gonna get a job or your kids they might turn on you if you did that then you see if you like it i know you husband feels theres no words to describe how he feels but maybe he should leave and let you hang just answer that how u gonna hanle it ,do ,live survive , feed kids ,do shopping trips, how u kids gonna act towards you ,they may haTE U TREAT YOU LIKE CRAP LIKE U ALL DO HIM .
LYnn i,m not trying to be mean he made a mistake you all have not made any attempts to help but get a facelift nose jobs buy an leather jacket just stop read and think can u support yourself kids and the lifestyle you all are used to
when u said your wedding vows love is why you got married and said these vows for richer or poorer better or worse in sickness or health ,it doesnt sound like there was any love.
Lynn might sound like i being mean but i want you to be together forever. so please stop really read and understand this letter.
So sit your daughters down Say march 1 you all need to say i love you its done overwith it was a big mistake but we all will get through this from march1 on we all agree to let everything before that has been removed from are lives never to be brought up again , and join together as a family move on and work together every single one join all assets yours and his to pay bills and not to live beyond your means ever . i love you lynn please dont take this the wrong way im serious your daughter needs to see a physcologist please do not ever be to proud to say i just want to make sure one visit to make sure daughter is ok and hour of time for a lifetime of peace . or just peace of mind if you really love your daughter and want the best what would it hurt lynn? really just one visit then you can say she went, she was so upset when you you all went to the hotel to see dad. what would it hurt .

I wish the best for you and your girls and husband you really do not realize what you have until its gone i used to say ya right
until i buried my mom and days i wish i could see her .mayby that statement will explain why i might sound mean in this letter but. youll understand why i said the things i did . I Want the best for you all to stay together and be the loving caring family without money being the incentive you dont want to throw what you two have away because you cant always get it back lynn, please look at this letter in this way.
I think you are the best housewife and hope you can work it out that you on for many seasons but you all can remain a happy loving one.
Good Luck TO you and family
6angel8

You're something else! In the beginning, I thought you were special; now ..... not so much. You say your husband has a history of overspending but you spend $$$ like there's no tomorrow. You bury your head in the sand with your husband and your kids, taking the easy way out all of the time. Don't blame your husband for what you, too, failed to do. How much money have you wasted on plastic surgery? Did you check your own finances before being so flighty? You probably left it all to your husband. Grow up and take responsibility and ownership in your relationships. It's 2010 not 1910; act like a woman instead of a perpetual victim.

Please don't loose focus! You and your husband have to be good with eachother for your kids to be good and by good I mean sane! I don't think this financial problem happened overnight and so I believe that both of you should take responsability for what is happening. I am a wife and the one that does the bills. My husband does not have a clue what I pay and when I pay it, I do wish sometimes that he would ask and look at what goes on. I'm sure your husband is also freaking out! As a spouse I do think you should stand by him and help your daughters understand that sometimes this happens! In this economy millionaires are in prison right now for their bad choices. Help them understand that their choices are very important and can affect everything. Be careful how you let your daughters judge your husband because they will judge you too and as parents we are not perfect. I know they are at a hard age but I don't see anything but blame towards their father like he did it on purpose! He looks worried, if he didn't give a hoot he would have just gotten mad and said forget it and not cared. Don't you think? I really do wish you well! I do think that you need to eithr get closer to God or maybe even leave the show for the sake of your marriage! Be the exception, not the rule!

lynne where did your daughter alexia get her dark wash jeans from that she had on thursday 2-18-2010

All I want to say is that when you did find out that your husband was having money troubles, the fact that you criticized him and then went out and spent 1000.00 on a jacket made you look ignorant. You are a poor excuse for a mother letting your daughter treat her dad that way. "a near death experience" OMG! You are just completely stupid and apparently VERY spoiled which could be why your 17yr old is acting VERY spoiled. I have absolutely no use for you.

Lynn,

WAKE UP... Screw the house situation. Get back with your husband; rent an small apartment if you have to, and create a united front so you can help your daughter. You need to get her into facility with 24/7 psychiatric care. Her level of "emotional madness" is not normal, even for a teenager. She needs help now, before it's too late.

I can't stand this anymore. Lynne is driving me crazy. I can't believe that she she putting her husband out to pasture because he can't afford to pay for all of the luxuries of life anymore. He has had to endure her many facial botox injections (I often refer to her as the expressionless twit), boob adjustments and facial lifts and nose reductions. It is very disturbing, as a man, to witness her put their marriage on the line due to all of this. Walking around like a zombie suffering a bad LSD hit, is no way to portray yourself, or is this Lynne at her best. The way that she is treating her husband leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Though, I have to say, he can't continue walking around like the most "ball-less" man in Orange County. Lynne needs to take control of her life with her husband at her side, and she by his. She's needs to understand that life does not revolve around Orange County. The life that she has lived for the past few years represents a life that most people will never get to witness. It is amazing that most of these women come from less than wealthy homes, but portray images of lavishness and gluttony. I needed to get that out about Lynne because she has been acting like her teenage children. While on that point, what is going on with those two? They both need a swift kick to the teeth. Wow, that much disrespect can't be tolerated by a self-loving, self-respecting parent. Lynne needs to join by the side of her husband and rebuild their family and foster some love. Having a home to live in will be the very least of their problems. A family is represented as one unit by which all gather strength from one central source, and this family has nothing at its core. Her daughter gets a nose job and declares it in the name of poor self image, where was Lynne and her husband over the years to instill in her a confident self image and a respect for not only her parents, but for all people. You know what, Lynne needs to sit back with her husband and take a long, good look at their lives and the lives of their children and make the decision that their family comes first and do whatever it takes to make that a priority in their life (Oh my gosh, maybe Orange County isn't the place they ought to be!!!). And will someone tell Lynne to lay off the Botox, it drives me insane to look at her expressionless face. Try living life like most other Americans, I know some pretty happy poor people, it may not be ideal for them and their family, but they make due with what God has given them and don't make excuses for what He hasn't.

I doubt that you read these comments, since it requires you to hear bad news, and you seem to avoid reality as often as possible, but I have two things I need to say:

About your daughters: Act like a parent for once in your life! I have two teenagers. I know they're hard to deal with, but they are your responsibility!! Your youngest is obnoxious, and all you do is complain? That child is turning into a self-absorbed, nasty little sleaze. You're worried that she won't like you? If you don't step up now no one will ever like her. You have plenty of friends, be a mom.

About your financial situation: Your problems go way beyond your husband not telling you you're broke. The problem is you not caring enough about your family to stop spending and spending when you were obviously living beyond your means. Everyone else on earth knew you were over your heads for a year- why didn't you? Here's a hint: GET A JOB!!! STOP SPENDING for facelifts and parties and $1100.00 jackets until you can pay for
it yourself

lynn
i think it's really self-fish of you and your daugters the way you're treating your husband. #1: i think it's a total disrespect. especially, you shouldn't be displaying that in front of your daughter. i understand that you're upset with the fact that he lied to you. however, have you ever thought of the reason behind it why he lies? perhaps you and your daughters lives in this bubble world? or maybe he thought that he didn't want you guys to worry.
getting evicted is not just your husband's issue. you need to take responsibilites as well. you're a team! remember what the vowl saids?? "for better or for worse". if your business is so successful, why can't you help with the finances??? why does he have to carry all the burden?? you don't think he needs a break?
also, your daughter alexis is a freaken DRAMA QUEEN! you should check out the eposide for tonight, 2/18/2010. her cry is so freaken FAKE! i hope you realize, your daughter alexis is playing you and your husband like a fool. you're the joke here! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES!

I just watched part of your episode where you all were evicted (I couldn't stomach watching all of it) and have to say...bravo (no pun intended) on your attitude. It's apparent that you have raised two uncaring, selfish, crybaby daughters and that I personaly think you fall right in the same catagory as they do. Your entire focus was "I, me, and we (your daughters and you)" and your concern for your husband seemed non-existent. Oh no...another rich girl that might have to live like the majority of the rest of the American public...tisk, tisk. Furthermore...if you were so concerned with the status of your current lifestyle, why didn't you help or pay the security deposit yourself? Why don't your selfish daughters do their part and get jobs to help as well? Nothing says "I love you Honey" like a person that wants to shift blame to the only one bowing to make ends meet. If anyone should be disappointed, it should be your husband. Disappointment that you and your two whining daughters aren't doing your part as a FAMILY to help your situation.

P.S. I own a construction company and I applaud your husband's efforts to give you a carefree lifestyle...however, it isn't always possible in this line of work...GET USED TO IT!

To the husband he does not to be sorry of what has happend there financial Life... and if there want to go....let them go... fine let them go..

You know the way to make it to be on the top... there are go women out there that will be with you tru go and BAD... and will look very good from the inside very important.. and out...

Like they said i back of every powerfull men... there is a very inteligent women... hello in this life you can have both....

Lady, You got some balls!
You get a facelift and your daughter gets a new nose and your pissed at your husband because he's trying to give you the lifestyle YOU want.
THERE WAS YOUR DOWN PAYMENT ON YOU HOUSE!.

Get a job and be a better parent! These girls are walking all over you. And frankly, Your husband deserves ALOT better than you. Even your opening statement in the show. IT'S NOT THE MONEY YOU HAVE BUT HOW GOOD YOU LOOK SPENDING IT....you are in another world. Get a job and a real life.... I hope that jacket you bought in San Francisco was worth it. Your husband should get in the car and just keep driving.
Wear you new jacket you'll need it for job interviews!

Pissed in St. Louis~!

Dear Lynn,
I think your youngest daughter is over reacting ... plenty of young adults have worse lives than moving several times.... she keeps saying she wants you guys to teach her whats wrong and whats right however she knows whats right and whats wrong... that excuse should no longer be used.... Your husband seems like he was really trying to provide .... however I agree that he should have not kept this from you or the kids. She will always be a drama queen unless you do as the comment before and take everything away and make her earn her things back so that they mean something and then she will see it's not easy to live in orange county. And maybe she will then give you more respect. I would recommend you to stay with your husband and scale down... the purchase of the leather jacket would have made even my husband upset especially in the situation that you guys are in so responsibility should be on you as well as your husband.

SAD SAD SAD!!! Lynn, can you get any more dysfunctional? Parenting tip number 1---YOU NEVER SIDE WITH A CHILD AGAINST YOUR HUSBAND...Even if you agree, you always back him and put up the united front in front of the kids....If they can get a foothold, they surely will...You are about to learn that the hard way...BTW--Your daughter makes a fool out of you on national tv by stating how you refuse to actively parent her...give her what she is screaming out for..BOUNDARIES!!

NOT MUCH TO SAY ON YOURS OTHER THAN I HOPE IT WORKS OUT ON THE HOUSE DEAL. I DON'T KNOW YET WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THE OTHER GIRLS MOUTHING MAKES ME MAD, BECAUSE IN ALMOST ALL FAMILIES ONE HANDLES THE BILLS AND CASH AND THE OTHER DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT GET IT SETTLED AND DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR MARRIAGE BECAUSE HE MADE A MISTAKE. WE ALL DO AT ONE PT. YOU 2 SEEM LIKE YOU HAVE THE BEST MARRIAGE BUT WE ONLY KNOW WHAT WE SEE. BUT I DO THINK YOU NEED COMMUNICATION. TALK AND LISTEN, LISTEN AND TALK

lynn,
one sentence regarding "TRUST",
when its gone its gone,as hard as it is, maybe you had a devine intervention to move on thru this to get to the other side to be the housewife you were meant to be!!

Lynn,
We all screw up as parents. When we screw up god's grace is suffient. I think that you are adorable and yoare a great mom. I would suggest finding a church and getting involed in a small group. Many times in my life I have felt so alone and god put people in your life that has gone through the same types of problems. Teenagers are crazy at times. If you look at the characters in the bible ,they messed up as parent too! You are not alone with the frustration that you feel from trying to do everything right. You need to give it all to god. Just remember that things do not last for ever but gods love does.
