I left New York City this weekend after a quick trip to visit some friends and to remember what subways are like, immediately got sick on the flight home and spent the last two days enjoying marathons of The Real Housewives of New York City.
I couldn't help but notice how adult all of the children are.
The show features adults who fly around and do stupid things and then there are these kids, who actually care about their school work, trying to succeed in sports, and generally look insulted by their parents' actions. I mean these parents put "embarrassing" on the terrorist color spectrum.
It one episode, we watch 'the Countess' go downtown to hang out with her 'hip' 22 year old friend at a bar. Its painful to watch as she buys stupid necklaces and looks confused as she desperately tries to look "young". Then we watch as her children ask her not to stay out late, pick out her outfit and then not listen to their housekeeper (who I hope gets paid A LOT).
No wonder Victoria wants out to boarding school with a riding program and Noel is dealing with her mother's attempts to be hip by trying to make her stay home. I am pretty sure his recent break dancing lessons are because 'The Countess' caught "So you think you can dance?" on TV.
Ramona's child Avery is my personal favorite. Avery watches as her mother wears the worst clothing: bras and mini skirts, bad bikinis. She watches as her mother alienates herself from her "friends". She watches as her mother tries to be hip. Its just painful.
Its ok, Avery. Your mother's just addict to coke. Does that help?
