Real Housewives vs. NOT such Real Housewives

This week I’m writing about the NOT so real housewives series.  The show glorifies the lives of these women and creates a façade.  Real housewives do not act the way these women do.  The women on this show flash every item they have and scream at each other like teenagers.  They live in these ultra luxurious houses and have the most expensive cars, but many of them cannot even afford to live this way.  For example, Teresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey actually went bankrupt.  See article about Teresa here.  She and her husband could not afford everything they own and show off.  I find it sad that this is the way society is portraying “real mothers.”  Real mothers do not act this way towards each other and their families.  Most of these women are immature and as funny as the show is, the drama gets old.  The show glorifies these women for what they try to be, not necessarily what they really are.  This causes other people to think they have to strive to have everything these women have, when really, these women do not even have much either!  The final point I would like to make about them not being “real” women, is their faces.  If anyone takes one look at any of those women’s faces and/or bodies, it is completely evident that they have had thousand of dollars of plastic surgery.  This does not make them real, this makes them fake.  The name of the show is completely deceiving and glorifies everything a housewife is not. 

Teresa being the "real housewife" she is...flipping tables.  Make sure to take note of what the children they interview think of her.  What a good role model right?!
