Ryan comes across very controlling!!! I think that he and Briana should stay in their place (a child's place...yeah they grown).  I understand that Ryan and Briana don't care for Brooks; hell, no one does (on the show) but, they're taking it too far. They will have Vickie's love for them and their brand new baby choose...

I don't really care for Brooks either but, I feel like it's Vickie's life and like she said, she just want to be happy in her later years, etc. If she is making the wrong choice, then so be it!!! Just be there for her, to pick up the pieces.

The two (grown) KIDS will gladly use Vickie's love for their child against her and take the baby and leave.  That's crazy!!! What's even crazier is that, they need to have their own place anyway. You can't come into Vickie's home, making her scared to have company (Brooks) in her own home.  I know that Vickie want them there (especially, the baby); I'm a grandmother too.  But enough is enough.

Briana and Ryan just shouldn't be mean about it!!!

Vicki I admire your work ethics and your a great mom, but please listen to your daughter and everyone else Brooks is not good for you, you can find someone better he is so fake he is clearly not a nice guy! I just hate to see that your going to get hurt he is clearly not for you!

Vicki - I've watched RHOC since day one.  I just watched the WWHL clip of you calling in with Natalie Maines.  I do understand we only get to see Brooks for "7 minutes a week" as you put it, however I have watched and re-watched episodes with him, and those 7 minutes are always less than flattering.  He is a fame whore.  Every time he gets his 7 minutes he acts like a drama queen and stirs the pot with the ladies and causes ill will between you and your friends.  What man does that????  He wants you to himself because he knows he's got you snowed but your friends saw through his charade in a NY minute.    You looked so pitiful in the restaurant begging him to love you.  He clearly told you he's seeing other women and asked you to choose between him and your daughter.  He is controlling - get out now.   You deserve far better....don't let that fake southern charm fool you (BTW - Ryan is more authentic) - your friends don't lie.  They see him without the rose colored glasses you have on.    Wake up - if he were the great guy you think he is they would all welcome him with open arms! 

Vicki needs to do what makes her happy. Briana is rude and disrespectfull. After all who's home is she living in! She needs to grow up! And get her own place to live! Who does your husband think he is telling Vicki what she can't do in her own home. Dude find the door with your selfish wife. And get some help you are not normal. Honey you are not the man of the house. You are a guest who was invited. You are both making Vicki miserable! So what you are paying rent. You can do that somewhere else. Why do you think you have the right to tell her what to do?

Vicki: fix the problem. It is not fair to you! Don't put up with that! You have offered them your home to live in and what do they do for you in return? Who is running the household you or your daughter and her paranoid husband! I really feel bad for you! Listen to your brother!

In my opinion, Vicki was the one who started the downturn at Tamra's dinner.  Aside from even asking Alexis to go with her, she made Alexis part of the toast.  She started to "defend" her by putting words in the other women's mouth "Alexis is not evil" - no one had said anything about her at that point, but the way she said it had them all talking to let her know that they didn't say that.   Same thing when Tamra shows up at the car - "what are you mad at now, don't you have any compassion for someone who's sad" - Tamra was speaking calmly when she walked to the door. 

And what person in their right mind takes someone questioning them about the "I have a baby" statement  and turns it into one that infers that she cannot love her grandchild? 

Vickie you should of got your ass up and left when she kicked Alexis out. Hello you brought her!!! Trying to understand my ass. Call when you get home! You invited Alexis!! I like you but stay true... You know Tamera ain't right. "Choose your side right now". really. I would of got my ass up. Obviously she doesn't care about you if she will break up with you if your choose Alexis's side. Lame!!

Vicki, you don't have to explain anything. Do what you want, but for Pete's sake stay away from psycho Tamra and phoney Heather.

Vicki, it's not all about you.

Vicki, Still no time to give us a new blog. Maybe you are to busy to do the show to! I really am still pissed at what you said to your brother about Ryan. Billy's replies about him not being family and the cameras, that we are not at war here. I have blogged this before, Ryan can also see his wife and son and watch his son grow, smile and all the changes that happen everyday when they are babies. You keep throwing Ryan under the bus, stop it! Ryan, Thank you for the very hard job that you do watching out for all of us and our Country! Briana, Thank you for being a unselfish wife that understands what your husband does for all of us!

Wishing you all the best with your new addition to the family Vicki. Praying that you find the happiness you are so deserving of.  Best wishes to you all...

Miss V...Brooks is a chump. He plays games with you, wants to keep you desperate for him and it shows. I am not that crazy about you but I feel empathic to how pathetic you look trying to keep this creep in your life. EVERYONE!!! is trying to clue you in...LISTEN to them. Surely, there will be someone that is sincere and REAL out there for you. Let this creep go back to where he came from...go love on your nes grandchild, don't throw away time spent on Brooks away...mentor, support and be there for your daughter, don't loss those moments that bring the two of you closer over that slug...respect your son-in-law, that has all intentions to protect you and kick that creeper out. You have so many people to love, have fun with, enjoy and make moments to recall after the years have past...please don't let this opportunist take up space and time.

Happy Mother's Day Vicki!!!! I am also a mother of grown daughter's and have been blessed w. grandchildren. Congrats on having a beautiful grandson. Two of my daughter's have recently moved back home while they finish college. Two of my granddaughter's live w. me also. It can be very stressful. I work as a nurse full-time and have a very busy sched. I am used to having my home a certain way so that is also a compromise. I see the love that you have for your daughter, son in law and grandchild and I totally understand and it melts my heart. You are a very loving mother and grandmother. With this all being said I want to say that I feel that your choices as the matriarch of the family should be respected and accepted. You are a very smart business woman and as you stated "Just want to enjoy the other half of your life." Right or wrong that is your choice to make. Your daughter of course wants her mother to be happy and make the right choices and I think her opinion comes from a loving place BUT you need to stand your ground bc you deserve to be happy too. If the relationship w. Brooks does not work out as planned that's what family is for, to help us heal and pick up the pieces.  I'm sure if things don't always go smoothly in your daughter's marriage in the future you would be supportive of their decisions. I am not sure that Brooks is THE ONE for you but I respect your decision to figure that out. By the way I think that you look awesome this season!

Have a great Mother's Day w. your family!!!

I just watched the clip from the wine tasting event. I'd dissolve the Wine by Wives business ASAP. Who needs to have a business partner like Tamra?

Happy Mothers Day, Vicky!

You are a wonderful mother and grandmother and deserve to have the love of a man in your life.

Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Katt

PS: You LOOK great!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there....

I find it hilarious Vicki that you said you didn't agree with how tamra treated Gretchen, brooks, jeana, and Slade??? You really should take a look back at previous seasons of how you treated people ESPECIALLY Slade!!! Take a look in the mirror Miss Kumbaya-I'm-all-about-the love now.

First of all I like to thank Ryan for his services to our country.Ryan is an honorable man who tries to keep you safe and tells you what you should you know about Brooks, on the other hand your brother tells you what you want to hear to make you happy, I think you should question your brother's motive,maybe he has the same ethics like Brooks that's why he doesn't see anything wrong with him.Don't forget that Ryan is family, he is the father of your grandchild !!!

Please move the car seat to a safer position in your car. The passenger side is the least safe. Why would you put him at risk when you have full control over the situation?

No man that loves you would make you choose between him and your daughter. A real man would sacrifice for you and want you to be close to your daughter no matter how old she is.

I actually respect Brooks for saying that he sees other people.  You two were more or less apart.  You are not married, or even engaged.  Where do people come up with the idea that people own each other after a few dates?  I would take this as an opportunity to see other men.  Brooks can be one of your beaus.  There is no law against seeing more than one.  You were married a long time.....give yourself time to breathe.  HOWEVER, if you want to date him, it is your business.  You should never let your children dictate to you the terms of your life.  Have a ball, girl.  You deserve it.

I love you Vicki.  I saw you at the Atlanta airport a couple of years ago and almost died.  I even worked up the courage to say hi to you, but you were on the phone and I didn't want to interrupt you.  You are more beautiful in person.

I think your daughter and son-in-law need to be a lot more respectful of your decisions. They don’t own you, if your daughter pulls away, just let her. I have a step-father, who I wasn’t very fond of (putting it mildly), but I never once made threats to my mother that I would stop talking/hanging out with her, because I didn’t like him. That’s childish and absurd. Unless he has a criminal record of violence/abuse, there’s no reason for her to act so incredibly cruel and selfishly. You’ve lived your life, you’re smart, independent, and know what/who makes you happy, live your life to please yourself and no one else. You did an amazing job raising your kids, they should be thankful. It’s impossible to make everyone happy, focus on you and the rest will follow.

P.S. Forget about Tamra, she's awful.

Vicki, I love you, but please, please, please stop wearing fur, it is extremely cruel!  Please really think about it and research it if you need to, you will be horrified.  Fur belongs on animals, not on people!

It's actually really funny because your daughter is acting just like you: CONTROLLING!

I don't mean to be hurtful but seriously its so obvious u raised her, very manipulating.  I don't think she's aware of what she's doing or trying to be controlling but she is. And you need to stop guilt tripping people. Same advice I gave heather is for you too, let people be themselves and let them make their own decisions as well, that's when u respect someone.  And sorry but yes dump brooks and LISTEN: YOU CAN DO BETTER :)

Vicki, Think you could find time to blog about past episode or do you not want to hear what the viewers saw and think. Maybe you are having a hard time seeing and keeping your fake eyelashes on!

Vicki, you are very lucky to have a very family that truly loves you! I wish you had more respect for both Brianna and her husband, watching you being two-faced re:cameras and them being protective was very sad.. Brooks is an awful person but, you will be hurt in the long run from him which is sad. You need therapy and stay out of relationships until you get yourself together, you look desperate! We all know you deserve better...wish you thought so... Tamra drama you need to leave behind, she's toxic..

I'm getting ahead of myself here but you really are a bxxtch. You are so into yourself and think you are the only one that matters You have turned into the most uncaring person.This will come back to bite you.

I am a grandparent too, and congrats.  I feel like my life just began all over again, but I have to say agree with Gretchen though "our baby" is an absolute no-no.  It is not "our baby", I learned that very quickly.  It is your daughter and son-in-law's.  I am sorry they are so adverse to Brooks, you know they are looking out for your best interest and are being very protective of you.  But you don't need to tell them every move.  Did Brianna tell you every move?

Vicki, your storyline with Briana has my aunt fired up...i mean stoked .... she called last night at 10:30, saying "I have it figured out", I thought she meant why my Havanese pup wants to poo on soft things like rugs... when I said "what", she said, as if he is our next door neighbor...."Why Ryan does not want Vicki to have a man around".... she goes on to say that she believed that he is weirded out by the idea that you might have "relations".... HER WORD, not mine....I said "you meannnnn", wanting her to say the S word....I have never heard her say it....she says.."yeah, that, you know" ... So, could she have a point?? Could this be more about their discomfort in your home regarding that issue?? Well, for sure there are stranger danger concerns, but may go deeper than that...just a thought from Aunt Mimi

You know Vicky, to be the head of the show, you are so flip flop as my son says. You don't stand by your own word! Which means no one can count on you. That man you love, doesn;t love you! Wake the hell up lady! When a man really loves you he will wait and work toward a reslove. A real man loves a challange and will fight for his woman. You look like a begging rag doll. Pick yourself up and see your self worth, get a new man and keep it moving. You have a great family and if you really thought he was a good man, you would have brought himin the house anyway! Keep it on truth.com Vicky. 

Congrats on becoming a Grandparent! I  became a Grand Mother recently, so I know the bliss and the blessings! I also know what it is like to be devoted to a daughter and offer your home to them, under their current circumstances. I think you were ready to commit to almost any promise, to get your daughter and her family to move in and I believe your motives were pure and sincere. But you have sincere feelings for Brooks too and in my humble opinion, you should be able to invite him to your home. Your daughter and  baby need not be around him. You described the house as being very large and they have an area where apparently they would not have to run into him? Why not tell your daughter you miss Brooks and would like to invite him there at certain times and she does not have to see him if he prefers. Failing that, see Brooks at HIS place and tell your daughter it is your hope to have him be able to come to your house in the future. This way she knows he is very important to you still. I realize we don't know everything about what is going on. There must be many layers to all the personalities involved.

Good luck and best wishes, from Illinois!

Your daughter and her husband are not keeping you from seeing brooks or telling you who can come and go in your house...you made a deal with them. They said they would pay rent, but don't want brooks there. You agreed to this and shouldn't have if it is a problem for you. They said they would move out if it becomes a problem. It is a deal that you made with them and you can't get mad now.

Vicky you got it going on girl! Stop being so damn needy and dependant on that guy Brooks! Live your life enjoy your blessing and date a man that is on your level! Your too fabulous to make so many sacrifices for that southern crawfrish! He is not all that! Date younger girl! ;)

The decision to be with Brooks is FULLY your decision to make.  It may be complicated (what love life choices are not complicated?), but man alive, grow a back bone and stop blaming other people for choosing your love life for you.

I like that you're giving yourself permission to cry if you're feeling hurt/confused/sad (specifically at the dinner table with Brooks, when you said you didn't know why you were crying).  I remember in a past episode where Don was criticizing you for crying because you were upset/sad.  That was harsh on his part.  I think of crying similar to laughing:  they both last but a few moments at a time, and one expresses happiness while the other unhappiness.

By the way, love your black Mercedes AMG!   I just acquired a new black Mercedes-Benz and am really enjoying it.

Vicki, you look Amazing!! As far as Brooks goes, we only see a very small portion of your relationship, we  don't  know what goes on behind closed doors or how he treats you so we should't be judging him! You're  very smart and successful, I'm very sure you know what you're doing!! Wishing you all the best!!

It was so easy to see Brooks was playing you big time at dinner. He also wants you and Briana to have problems because he can't play or control you with her in the picture. You do not tell the truth or you leave out important information when telling your sad tales. If I was you, I would not want Brooks near Briana. It was very telling on just how much he dislikes her. Plus why would you have to talk to Brooks about having Briana, Ryan and Troy moving in with you? Can't this man have a place for the two of you to go and hang out or fill your love tank or would you have to pay for that to.
