I think a big problem with this entire debate is that each side thinks the other side is "judging" the other and God forbid, we'd better not judge. I disagree. The term "judge" is defined as follows: to infer, think, or hold as an opinion; conclude about or assess. We all have our own opinions and should be entitled to state them without being "bashed" by the other side. When I make a comment in this forum, I am not trying to "persuade" anyone to my side. It is just my opinion. You are then welcome to state yours....but please don't "bash" me in the process.
Good point, however, that is not what seems to be happening here. If what you too ladies were saying were true then this would be a "kind and respectable" forum. Unfortuately, people have left it at that. And, judgement on others points of view have taken place, to the point of name calling! So sad, considering the majority of us are mothers and we should realize that our opinions come from our life experiences....and other women and families may come from other life experiences...therefore a different point of view!
Which brings me back to the show. I can't believe all the firm judgement on tiny aspects of the show...I think this show reveals that each and every family leads a different life. One thing I see over and over again (which I think a lot of the "judgemental" moms are missing) is every mom clearly loves her kids and family! You can see that in every episode and it a the moms have taken that as a priority in the decision they make. I respect that, it's number one. The decision is number two.
Number three...is this is entertainment after all, it's not the full picture. Reality TV has been around long enough for all of us to know that.
