Is there Really No "Welcome to the Motherhood" thread yet?

Anyone watching this on Bravo? It's terrible, in the usual Bravo way. I can't even remember any of these ridiculous women's names but already despise most of them. The one who is a stylist with twins who tells all the women they have to stay hot for their husbands makes me physically ill. And the single mom with the dark hair and the huge chip on her shoulder is really annoying too and her dad is only slightly less gross than Aviva Drescher's dad. I do like the mom who used to sing with Fergie, she seems pretty normal. And I like the mom with the chicken coop. Who else is watching?

I'm watching!

I'm watching! Yeah, I don't like Rivers' mom either. And I hate that she named him Rivers. ONE boy, ONE river.

Do you guys think the blonde lady with 4 kids (beth?) is lying about having a nanny or not?

I watched the first 2 episodes and deleted it from my auto-record on my DVR. Boring.....

Never heard of it but sounds terrible and right up my alley. I'll be catching up on this show on Demand.

Rivers' mom was so threatened by Beth approaching her at the pool party. I really think Beth had her heart in the right place - she actually sought out Rivers' mom (can't remember her name) and said, "I can help you." Presumably Beth wanted to reach out, but Rivers' mom was just so threatened.

And yes, the tall skinny stylist is batshit crazy -- I'm all for not letting myself go, but she takes it to another level entirely. And she keeps calling her old apartment the "man cave" even though it's stock full of her clothes.

I actually so far like Beth - except for when she tried to rap.
And I really like the woman whose kid is afraid of dogs.

Rivers mom is obnoxious. Very masculine energy and aggressive personality, driven by an obvious undercurrent of insecurity. Very difficult to like.

The stylist is over the top with her husband worship. I think it is great to make marriage a prio its and great to stay healthy for each other, but she is obsessed.

Rivers mom is just classic NY/NJ. I live up here now - she'd fit right in. I can see where she'd stand out in LA. I actually kind of like her, and the mom married to the cemetary guy. The rest of them are hard for me to take.

Honestly I think I'm getting burnt out on all these Bravo shows. Shahs and Southern Charm were fun when everyone seemed to like each other. The producers seem to force everyone to turn on each other eventually and it just drags me down. It's not even fun to watch while folding laundry anymore.

I missed some of the first episode and never went back to re-watch it. What happened to Rivers' dad? Is he in the picture at all?

it doesn't sound like it. He told her he didn't know if he ever loved her and took off.

The main reason I watch is I grew up in the same town where the cemetery guy and wife live so I watch to see pics of my hometown.

What do we think the diagnoses is for the sweet little boy Ellington who is afraid of dogs? I'm having trouble pinpointing it but assume it will be discussed later in the season.

I love me some Bravo shows, but I can't watch this one. Just boring and icky.

I think they said he was born premature. He's very clearly got some Big Issues.

Ugh, Leah. She makes my skin crawl. I am all for people showing off their bodies and wearing whatever they like, particularly at their own party, but something about her level of narcicissim makes me want to vomit. And I'm sure this is not real but seriously, Beth? You have 4 kids and you wait until a month before you have to be out of your house to start looking for a new one? I feel really sad for her kids. There seems to be very little happiness in that house.
