I can't blame Lauri. If I had a rock that big, I'd be showing it off too.

Jo had a much bigger ring from Slade in the first season and it was a canary diamond.

Sorry, but I can't feel sorry for Ashley. I mean, c'mon, mommy dearest is paying the mortgage and the bills on the condo (earlier epi said ~$5,000/month) and Ashley just has to go to school and/or get a job? Where do I sign up? Ashley is so jealous of her brother it's not funny. 'I don't want him living with me cause he's been through so much already'. Yeah, I can follow that logic. The boy seems to be trying to get his poop in a group and now feels he's being abandoned. From one who knows, that's not a good way to support someone in their sobriety.

Oh speaking of Ashley she's still in the condo and paying rent and cleaning up after the cat. Her brother stayed with her for 2 months but then was kicked out when he broke one of Laurie's house rules.

Mocha, I thought Michael was kicked out after only 2 weeks because I remember laughing at how he was making such a big deal out of living there and then barely had time to get comfortable before screwing up.

I watched for the first time last weekend when they showed several episodes in a row. I take it this is the second season. Will there be a third?

The only thing that really bugs me about this show is Vicky's voice.

How funny that someone above made the Lara Croft remark because at first I thought "that's Angelina Jolie's doppleganger." That girl was working it.

Did I understand correctly that Slade was also involved with Laurie, was it? Was that before this series started. And who in their right mind moves out of a 6,000 sf house into an apartment? Smaller house maybe, but an apartment.

And I like how he brought up the size of the house during the couples counseling.

Lol, Mamie, that was funny when she said that. The saddest thing about those two is they just don't belong together and they won't admit it.

I didn't like Jeana much last night. She's always telling others how bad they act, but can't seem to see how she acts. She's been mean to her husband for quite awhile and you can tell the kids weren't raised to respect him. For her to tell Vicki she didn't treat her husband well was a bit much. Vicki and her husband went to the lake with their friends and seem to have a much better relationship than Jeana and her husband. I see a lot of jealousy for the other women coming from Jeana. She's not a happy person and while I respect what she is saying about sticking with a marraige, her actions say something very different.

I, too, don't feel sorry for Ashley. From the mintute they brought her on the show, she has been running from responsibility. She's 21 or maybe 22 by now and is just starting to pay rent? She really has a sense of entitlement and is very jealous of her mother's happiness. The things she was saying out loud at the party were just uncalled for. She just doesn't get it.

It was something else when Jeana's daughter said her mother should get a boyfriend.

Wow, was I ever off the mark on Lauri's son? Good for Ashley to start taking responsibility - that place looked like something I'd see on How Clean is Your House? (Love those ladies!) Nasty!
ITA that Jeana's kids don't respect their dad. I'd stay away 11 out of 12 months too if that's what I had to come home to.
I really know/think too much about these people!
Oh well, I'm waiting for the marathons...just like a big ol' junkie...lol

Native Texan, at the end of the first season (just like this season) Slade and Jo broke up. Slade asked Lauri out, but Jo blamed Lauri, thinking she went after Slade. Lauri set her straight about halfway through this season. Slade is one scary dude. He is obsessed with Jo and only dates other women to make her jealous. I just don't see them together once Jo meets someone her own age in Los Angeles.

They deserve each other. Salde and Jo.He was wrong to bring <100> to the party where he knew Jo would be, would be surprise if Jo and Shane hook up, and why did JJ move out of the apartment? Please a nine yr.old with her own cell phone.

twinkie, that's the default setting if you don't go in and change it. my daughter was 8 when she got her cell phone. she swam at the local college for her swim team, and it would be dark when she was done, in the winter, so this way she didn't have to go up onto the campus to call me to let me know her practice was over. it's a measure of safety in this world in this day and age.

My son was 9 when he got his cell phone. He was with a friend and the friend's mom and they didn't go where they had said they were going because they were too late and my son was scared to death and he wanted to call me. The mom finally stopped and let him use her cell to call me and tell me where he was. The next day, he got his own cell phone.

Boy times have changed. I still think that is young to have a cell phone.

Sheilaree...I think it depends on the circumstances and the area/region you live in.

Travis had his own cell phone for about 6 months until it was stolen and cost me almost $200 in downloads because he was afraid to tell me and it was not reported within the required time.

Travis, because of his impulsiveness or having no concept of time, can be like the little kid in the Family Circus cartoon - going from point A to point B can require many detours with point B sometimes never reached. I told him once to be home in 30 minutes and he said "but, Mom, i want to stay for 20 minutes." He didn't always end up where's he's going and is very seldom on time. There were some people who felt I was rewarding bad behavior by giving him the phone, but I told them I'd rather know where to find him so he can be punished than wonder if I should be mad or scared.

His phone has been gone since November, but I can say that he has recently started showing a vast improvement in both areas.

Times have change for a nine year old to get a cell phone. They are going to get what they want when they want it. Must be nice to give a kid anything they want.

sheilaree, we also went outside to play after breakfast and mom didn't know exactly where we were and just wanted us home by dinnertime. it's the people who have taken the elizabeth smart's and the polly klaas' and so many other children right off the street that have changed things. it's not because children get what they want when they want it. even now, my daughter is 16. she calls me when she leaves school, then walks home and calls me from the home phone when she arrives. if she goes with friends, she tells me where she is, and if it changes, she calls. i also make sure i know what she wore when she walked out the door.

I think it is partially because of knowing where are kids are but I've met many parents who seem to care less where their kids are. Those kids have usually ended up at my house over the years. I do think that a lot of cell phones are bought to just let kids have what they want, when they want it.

Mamie, I know many of those same parents. We live on a corner and kids stop by all the time to play. I barely let Travis cross the street to the neighbor's house and only allowed that when I was watching. When Travis was about 7 there was a little boy his age who would come by quite often. One day Travis wanted to go to his house. I asked him where he lived. I couldn't believe it about 5 blocks away. No way, no how! A couple of years ago we were at Walmart and ran into this same little boy with his parents and siblings. The youngest was sitting in the cart and while there were no physical signs, it was obvious something was wrong with the child. Travis asked why he wouldn't talk and his mom said he had hit by a car. I'm sorry to say I wasn't shocked.

I'll be the first to admit my child is a bit spoiled and sometimes I do try to compensate for what all he has been through. However, while Travis has begged and begged for another phone, I still haven't gotten over having to pay that $200. I did get a set of walkie-talkies for $20 and they work like a charm.

I bought my son his first cell phone when he was 9. I wanted to always know where he was even if it seemed silly. He was always with an adult. But, not always one with a cell.His dad still won't have one, so I am glad my son has one when they are together. Now, I have it blocked for text messaging and downloads, so it is not as much fun for him. He is now 16 and is quite responsible about the phone. Not much else, but the cell is good! lol
I do not buy Carl anything he wants. He does not have a laptop or XBox 360 or any number of things he would love. The phone is for me as much as him.
