"My big fat gay son...or this weeks episode of Trading Spouses" |
No offense meant to anyone but if Drew aint gay...I am.Man what an interesting episode this was tonight. What can you say about the Donahoes living it up with mom cause hubby is too lazy and/or stupid to get a job and contribute to society.
Dad is a real keeper..especially when he's borrowing money from his 16 y/o son or putting flies in kathy's soup. Jennifer could do better or could she..I give her credit for taking care of her family and raising kids that know how to take care of themselves. However, she needs to be kicking doofy's a$$ and making him get out and do something, anything.
Rodney on the other hand is a posterchild for children cause that's all he is..the kids are more grown than this sorry piece of ####. Then you have the messinas otherwise known as the Arthur and Drew show. Jennifer was trying real hard to think of a politically correct way to say Drew is just sorta.....artistic? neat? special? I think the word she's looking for is gay...the boy is sweeter than sweet n low.(not that there's anything wrong with that). I love broadway myself but me thinks drew is looking more forward to all the nice laddies in tights. Of course with a dad like Arthur, it's hardly surprising. Man what a grown up he is. Hey kids, go yell at Jennifer,she's smoking OUTSIDE (fer chrissakes). I definitely dont agree with Jennifer smoking and dumping her ashes in the pool but dad was pushing it just a bit with the tell her to smoke off property bit. That Arthur, he's some man he is..it's my house, I'm in control and I make the rules and tell people what to do and when to do it but when I forget to take sonny boy to school...it's your fault Jen. Hello ARTHUR, you can boss your wife and surrogate mom around but can't get your kid to pipe down or go on a simple familty outing..yeah, you're a real renassaince man. It sure did seem to me like Drew was running the house tonight. Guess he wears the dress in this family. It looked like there was so much potential for the two wives at the beginning of the show. One was used to doing all the work and going somewhere where the kids are used to doing they own work..even if daddy is the biggest kid of them all. It's gonna be interesting to see how it all plays out next week. The other, well that I could tell was gonna be a rough ride the whole way through...woudn't matter who the new wife was...these guys were just looking for a maid. Drew even said as much. Pretty funny though on them expecting someone in overalls and Jenn delivers on queue.

Drew is gay, no question. I wonder if that is why Arthur doesn't have the bond with him that he has with his other son. He has no bond with his daughter, since after all, she will grow up to be a woman. There is a good chance that his eldest son will as well. He clearly has no respect for women, hence the lack of a bond.I spend the better part of my life cooking, cleaning and caring for my family, but what Kathy does for her family is obscene. They are incapable without her, and she is not giving them the skills they will need when they grow up to have their own families. If her job is to take care of her family, by my standards, she is failing miserably. (For instance, they are unable to do what needs to be done in her absence, and are nervous that their new "mom" won't be their maid.) Also, I find it hysterical that passive-aggressive Arhtur makes his children do his dirty work ("Tell her to smoke off the property, son.") and intentionally (I believe) 'forgets' to take Drew to school (I bet in an effort to criticize Jennifer and to make her feel bad and guilty). Jennifer leaves a lot to be desired, but as a mother who has also struggled with smoking, I, too, know how much more you want to smoke when some asshat is nagging you about it and making you feel horrible. I understand the premise of the show, but Jennifer is NOT Kathy, and for all intents and purposes, a guest in the Messina home. They really have a way with making people feel welcome, wouldn't you say? (Though, I do think the ashes in the pool bit was ridiculous and tacky; Also ridiculous and tacky was Arthur's response: pulling out his vacuumm. Grow up, though I am surprised he didn't demand that Jennifer clean the pool.) Kathy, on the other hand, seems to have hit the nail on the head about the problems in the Donaho home: Rodney's immature gamenrie, and complete inability to provide for his family. Their kids seem to be well-behaved, but at least with the overly loud Drew and the others, you know what's going on in their heads. I have to say that Jennifer's son Derrick disappointed me when he didn't clue Kathy into the bug in her soup. All in all, it seems to me that A lackluster Rodney and an overbearing, spiteful Arthur are the biggest roadblocks in their respective families. Kathy's house may be clean, but her children have learned nothing but to expect her to do all their dirty work (due largely, I believe, to Arhur's ridiculous notions of what a wife and mother should be) and Jennifer's methods clearly aren't spectacular when she refuses to see her husband for the no good, lazy bum that he is. What I don't understand is this: how can a woman fall in love with a man like either Rodney or Arthur in the first place? How can a woman want to stay married to a person like either of those "men." Arthur strikes me as the type that would disown his son (which he will do, I bet, when he discovers Drew is gay), smack his wife around for failing to do enough chores, and end up dead from a heart attack the minute he has to lift a finger to contribute instead of laying on his fat, lazy rear in front of the television. Rodney is just a dumb kid who really cannot take care of himself, has a rather poor sense of humor, and, while he was likely trying to cover his embarrassment at having borrowed money from his kid, absouletly no shame at having had to resort to that in the first place. I am not sure I think Kathy or Jennifer should receive "mom of the year" awards in the mail, but I hope to heck their husbands (and, in Kathy's case, children) are embarrassed when they see the tape detailing their behavior.

I finally watched this week's episode. And boy what an ep. The mothers may have been the ones switching. But the show was alot more about the fathers. I wouldn't want either one.Long Island Daddy thinks he rules the roost. But has no control over his drama queen son. And Dallas Dad is just pathetic. I've known 6th graders that were more mature. How can the Dallas M-I-L be proud of Rodney? And what kind of example are they setting for the children? There are too many enablers in that situation. And in Long Island the mother needs to shock her hubby one day and just do nothing. What happens when mom is sick? How does that family function then? I guess in both cases the mothers want to feel needed. And that is why they put up with the abuse that they get. They both want to feel their husbands can't get along without them.

I think Drew needs a swift kick in the butt. Mouthing off, throwing temper tantrums, picking fights with his brother and sister, and hitting them. He's a whiny brat with a bad attitude. His younger brother and sister are way more mature than he is. Arthur was being a pain in the butt. He was overreacting about Jennifer smoking. I can understand not liking cigarette smoke, but she was doing it outside! It's not like she was puffing away inside house. Ordering Jennifer to make his bed was just ridiculous. Come on, you are a grown man. You can make your own bed. I liked the look on his face when Jennifer announced at the dinner table, "I've done things your way, now you're going to do things my way." Oh, and FORGETTING to take Drew to school? Who the heck forgets their kid, besides the parents on Home Alone. Father of the Year I tell you! It really was quite sad that Rodney was so poor he had to empty out his 10 year old son's bank account. He does seem like a kid himself, and both his sons act more mature. I think he might be neck and neck with Arthur for Father of the Year. Kathy was right when she said it's time for him to grow up, get a job, and support his family. I found it kind of funny she said that though, considering Arthur is the sugar daddy, and Kathy doesn't work... unless you count being a housewife who does all the cooking, cleaning, etc. All in all, a rather entertaining episode. Probably the best one yet. I look forward to next week.

LAST EDITED ON 09-15-04 AT 00:03 AM (EST)Edit: no offense about the gay stuff at all. (I'm gay) It's the truth, Can'tstand, and he's got a bad case of the gay. Heh, scroll down a little and see what I say about that kid. Hah, tonight's episode was such poetic justice, especially the second half of it. Jenn's husband may be a boor, but she loves him, and it's sweet. The party they threw for her was great, and Jenn only had nice things to say about the experience to her family. Kathy really couldn't keep her mind off of money. While Jenn accepted Kathy's critique of her family, Kathy just brushed aside Jenn's observations. Kathy arrived and just started to rant about how awful the experience was. And then she said, coming out of the car no less, that the other family is gonna look awful once on TV. Real class. When the money was doled out, Jenn's family was happy. Her husband was chagrined, but not angry. They accepted the blessing gracefully. What a nightmare when Kathy's family read the envelope. Kathy was so obnoxious when she found out they have to go to counseling 'Well, that just shows me that they don't have insurance, because I have insurance and it covers that'. Jeez! First, your a b!tch and you're not better than other people because you have money, and second, the money was allocated so that you HAVE to spend the money on it! I'm assuming they also have money for golf and furniture, but the point is not that they have the ability to get it, but that they actually get it. The dog!? Let the kid have a dog! you have a huge house, land, and $1200 to spend on it! Adopt a puppy and pay for some training! And that gay boy has some serious emotional problems. Personally, I know what it's like to be an awkward gay teenage boy, but he NEEDS that counseling. And if my fat gay son started to whine about how he hates athletics and won't even do an individual, non competative activity, then I wouldn't be like 'don't you want to get in shape?' I'd tell him that he has slacked off long enough and that he needs exercise. He's using his unspoken gayness to shrug off all athletics. Just because the jocks make fun of him doesn't make it ok to live a sedintary life style. Unless that boy does something, once he goes off to college (which I know he's dreaming about) he's gonna be much worse off. He won't have Mommy to look after him, and he will try to explore his sexuality in a bad way... like, with old trolls from the internet. Because none of the boys his age are gonna want to even be friends with an emotionally disturbed fat drama queen. This kid is 17?! and running out to the car screaming 'Mommy?!?!' In the end, Jenn totally won. Complete victory. I'd rather be a member of her family any day. They love each other, completely, even if it means enabling the husband's bad habits. but He is the only problem in the house... and it's a problem they can live with. Kathy, though, that whole family needs help. Except maybe the daughter, she's cool. Even though they have a nice house, they live like white trash, always fighting, emotionally and physically, yet are totally blind to their glaring elephants in the room. They're a real Dr. Phil family. Heh, great show though. Pure entertainment. MM
