Party MamasTALK

I got sucked in the other day by the awful Suzanne episode and the Cindy episode. I was trying to find when it comes on again and cannot find it anywhere on the schedule. Am I missing something? When does it come on?

Hi I am planning a Girls Day Out Event,and I am open to in put.
Thanks

Wow, I was appalled by this episode. This Mom needs to remember who is the Mom, and who is the child, and who's party it is. She is late for everything, which is one of the rudest things you can do. She is not responsible, and she bribes her kids. Um if your own husband has to change the clocks just to have you show up on time to your own daughters party, then wow, you might have issues. Her son does things just to piss her off, you can totally tell. Ohh, and last thing that I have to say is if you care more about your own hair more then your daughters on the day of HER party, you have more then issues, your just plain selfish.... money doesn't make you a good mother.

These two were firecrackers! Was Alice real - she seemed to be acting? And what age was the girl with 3 kids! where was her partner/husband. I felt sorry that she had to juggle all those kids and her business but I guess she had her moms money to help her out, right? Unlike others. Good luck to her.

All I can say is...... WOW her parents are going to regret not giving her time outs. She is a major brat !!! But, the parents allowed her to be rude and disrespectful so now it is all on them.

I could not believe this mother was worried about her son "taking the spotlight away from her" at his on party. This woman is shallow, and needs to seek out her on personal demons as to why she thinks she has to be in the spotlight. It would not hurt her to be a bit humble as well. My real concern is the example she is setting for her son, and the mental problems he may face because of her actions.

Has anyone else seen this movie? I think all parents should be forced to watch it. (Spoiler alert if you haven't seen it) It takes place in LA and planning this kids bar mitzvah. First off, it clearly shows what we all know already the party is for the parents to show off, not for the kid. Second, the kid doesn't even know what it's all about. When his hippie grandfather comes into the picture and works with the rabbi to explain it to him, he then doesn't want the over the top party and amazingly his parents listen. Chances of that happening in real life are slim but maybe it would make these parents think for two seconds.

This mother makes me want to use the "C" word. I feel so bad for her girls. At least they can use the video as proof to dissect with their therapists someday. If they don't commit suicide before then!

That says it all!!!

Wow, after watching the train wrecks that were Annette (and her wife Joe), Lisa, and Suzanne, wasn't Cindy like a much-needed breath of fresh air? While watching her episode I kept thinking, finally, someone who understands why you hire a party planner AND knows enough to let her do the job she was hired to do. How refreshing to see a hostess who was focused more on making the event truly special for her son instead of being overly concerned with how she was going to be the star of the event. If anything it seemed the planner was more stressed than the hostess, though I got the impression she created the stress by making promises before she was sure she could deliver them. Perhaps her lack of stress had something to do with the fact she and her family actually appeared to have the means to pay for the event outright instead of relying on credit and paying it off for the next year or so.

In the end it was nice to finally see a party that was actually planned for the guest-of-honour (her son, Andrew) that was not all about her and was equally enjoyable for all guests regardless of their age. Of the episodes shown thus far, Cindy stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of treating others politely, understanding that a son's birthday party should be for and about him, and knowing enough to let the planner do her job without micro-managing the entire process.

What a shame she will more-than-likely be in the minority at the end of the series. I'd much rather watch episodes of people actually enjoying the planning process than the over-bearing harpies that already have and, no doubt, will continue to populate the rest of the series. After the most recent seasons of Bridezillas it appears the only thing WE is concerned about empowering women to do is be a raving b*tch with no idea of how to live within her means. Way to go WE.

Whatever happened to positive role-models to impress and teach women, young and not-so-young, how to put forth an image of a truly gracious and respectful lady and how to behave in a manner that commands the respect deserved based on how they treat others instead of the laughable concept of respect the majority of these women think they are entitled to just because they treat others poorly and with no decorum?

So WE, how about making a resolution to try empowering by example instead of showing what not to do? Especially as far too many people in this day and age seem to learn by emulating what they see instead of what they are taught.
