I thought the thing with Kelly vs. Bethenny was ridiculous. Kelly is an idiot and a child! She tells Bethenny how immature she thinks she is and how Bethenny is so much lower than her, wake up sister we know she's just jealous because Bethenny has a strong career, Kelly can't ride a horse to save your life, Bethenny's gorgeous and she is just some has-been model. Kelly treated her like dirt and Kelly treated Allison poorly at Allison's meeting for arthritis! Kelly called it "cute" when told that Allison had arthritis (Talk about wierd) which was a blatant insult in my opinion, besides the fact she shows up late for everything, she had a pillow fight at Jill Zarin's party, in the store! To me Kelly can't say Bethenny is below her or immature when she looks at the really immature and childish things she does. She is NOT teaching her kids a good lesson on how to live, disappointing on her part.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Real Housewives of New York City
Parents need to know that this reality series focuses on five women who live within the privileged circles of New York City's social elite. Like their TV counterparts in Orange County, they place great importance on wealth and status, and as a result often come across as materialistic and superficial. There's plenty of catty behavior, some strong sexual innuendo, and plenty of drinking, and some of the kids act spoiled. The women must also cope with complicated issues like blended families and dealing with chronically ill children.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether the lifestyles featured in this series are appealing (or unappealing). What would be the hardest part about living like these people? The easiest? Families can also discuss why so many reality shows feature rich and famous people. Is it because people really want to be like them? Or could it be because their lives just don't seem real?

Well Isn't That Rich?
The people aren't as snot-nosed arrogant as I anticipated. They live in great spaces. Eat at fancy places. Still they don't behave as arrogantly as we would have expected. There's one unfortunate gal (wish I could remember her name) who has some serious mental problems. Many will find such a poor, rich soul fun to watch. I find her painful to watch. Not a bad show, overall. As wealthy as these people are, with all of their make up, all of the favorable lighing, all the therapy that they can afford still isn't quite enough to erase from them their serious flaws. I suppose that the rich are just like you and me.
