One reason: she doesn't want to hire anyone who is smarter than her. Two: she likes to have something to complain about, it's her whole story line for the show.

Other option: maybe no one reputable is willing to work for her.

She obviously needs a storyline. If she was serious about getting a nanny, she get on care.com or go to White House Nannies and shut up. Her executive functioning skills are questionable. A lot of people work full time and can still manage their households. Just wait until her kids start school and activities. She's going be like a chicken with her head cut off!

No the other lady sitting at the table, she didn’t speak, only reacted.

Monique has a problem whether she sees it or not. What’s up with her using an umbrella at Robyn’s neck to push her back? That’s not normal.

And Ashley’s mom. Shudder. She thinks Ashley is supposed to take care of her it’s sad.

I love Monique and am so disappointed by her issues with alcohol. She is in denial.

I agree about Ashley's mom. If they had an olympic event for gaslighting and manipulation, that woman would get gold. What a study in dysfunctional relationship patterns. The amount of manipulation she was able to get in during a short conversation was impressive. Her mother refuses to be the adult and is living like a child who expects to be the center of everyone else's universe. She dumped Ashley on relatives when she was a child, didn't make her any kind of priority and now expects Ashley to support her. Disgusting! She is angry that Michael won't talk to her. Ashley needs to deal with this person with her fake love. What kind of parent is happy causing problems in their child's marriage?

Robyn has shown herself to be a major sh** stirrer. She is nasty and provokes people and acts as if she is inmocent. She’s not. She came for Monique and then tried to play the victim. It’s pretty clear to me that the first few seasons we didn’t see the real Robyn. The real Robyn showed herself last season and this season. She is shady as hell (like Gizelle), jealous, lacks compassion, and is full of herself. She’s made a little money from RHOP and Juan is back so she’s feeling full of herself. Monique isn’t my favorite but what you see is what you get. Robyn said she blames herself for the friend who took their money and she is angry it happened and takes it out on Monique. Just because Robyn seemed nice at first, doesn’t mean she is. She has exhibited mean, mean girl behavior.

On a separate issue, Monique shoild take this opportunity to take a personal inventory and think about whether she’s drinking too much or whether it’s really a good idea to drink at lunch when you have to drive home. I live in DC about 15-20 mins from Monique. I wouldn’t have had anything to drink at lunch when I knew I had to drive home, particularly when I was so tired. I hope she makes better decisions in the future. I will say that where I live a lot of Moms and Dads drink too much. School auctions, block parties, there are Moms and Dads drinking like they are still in college. It’s not good.

Ashley is mot one to talk about drinking. She drinks a lot. Tequila, beer (Corona), whiskey. People who live in glass houses....

Ashley’s Mom could drive anyone to drink. She is toxic. Sounds like she’s in an abusive relationship but she’s also abusive towards Ashley. It is abusive to try to guilt your child into paying your bills. Her mom is very manipulative and she needs to break away.

I really like Monique so hope she is behind the scenes addressing her drinking issue (if there is one). She is a classy lade, and a good mom and wife.

I cannot stand Ashley, everything about her annoys me. Sorry to any Ashley fans.

Robyns voice is akin to watching paint dry....B O R I N G!

And Karen, oh my word that woman is delusional. She looks horrible with blonde hair and she literally is hallucinating to think people are not onto her.

Candyass's fiancee does not own a restaurant. His dad does. It says right on Myron Mason's website.

Why did Monique say she drove 2 hours to see Karen when Potomac and Great Falls are 2-3 exits away? Was she being cheeky or want viewers to think that it was such a chore to venture anywhere outside Potomac which is laughable since so much of the show is filmed all around the area? It's not like she was going to see Robyn who lives up near Baltimore!

Boring or not, Robyn’s voice is an authentic Maryland voice, which is good to hear in a show based in Maryland.

(

Who is Chris's father? It seems like the only place he is called the owner (not even acknowledging potential co-owners) are housewife-related articles and blogs about Candyace; whereas other restaurant sites and non-housewife articles list other men as owners and not Chris.

I disagree about Robyn. I like her because she actually calls people out on their sh*t. Like when she and Karen had that lunch and Robyn told her to come clean and just admit whatever was going on in her life, instead of making up stories. Karen went ballistic, but Robyn didn't back down at all. She tells it like it is, and I like that. I also like Monique, but I think Robyn was right to call her out on her drinking.

As for Monique (even though I generally like her), it's getting old hearing about how she "needs" a nanny. When she went to Karen's to apologize for causing a scene, she brought her little girl with her, but felt the need to explain that she hadn't gotten a nanny yet, so that's why she brought the baby. Who cares? Most people bring their kids with them on outings like that. I'm not sure why she feels the need for a nanny.

I was glad that Candyass looked foolish when she kept telling the camera how awful her mother was - and then she finally told her mom about Chris's other child, her mom was cool as a cucumber about it. Not at all upset. I hate how Candyass always says such nasty things about her mom. I think she's got real issues.

Charisse was right about her. She is a little girl! Her mom pays her bills and funded her business. She gushes about her fiancee like he is a major catch. Honestly she reminds me of those women who marry a prisoner and justify everything and ignore all the obvious red flags. He hasn't seen one of his children for was it 7-8 years? No visitation whatsoever? They said the child lives locally. Not sure what local means in terms of distance, but something doesn't add up about that. She lies about his profession (does he own a restaurant? manage a restaurant? once had dinner at a restaurant and really liked the food so feels attached to it?). He seems content living off of her mother. She is 30 yet whining about money for an elaborate wedding from her parents. What is she paying for? What is her fiance contributing? Hopefully this is her only season. I get that women in the area want nothing to do with a reality show, but certainly they can do better than her.

I like Candice and I’m rooting for her. Although they portray the tension with her mom, I honestly think it really goes back to the dad, his relationship with Candace and how the divorce impacted her. She may be taking stuff out on her mom, instead of resolving the issues with the dad and her mom may have tried to overcompensate instead of having Candice stand on her own two feet. As for her fiancé, he may be doing okay as in middle class okay. But reality is many of the woman on the show initially gained their money thru the husband/marriage and her fiancé isn’t bringing that.

The trip was 3 hrs and someone else had some of her wine although I can’t recall who.

Monique drank all but one glass from that bottle of wine.

Monique manages their 4 or 5 houses. She does charity work, also.
