[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how the Catskills was like family summer camp, but high-end, with dinner and dancing every night.  Corny fun.  I wish we still had something like it these days.  [/quote]

Cruises are like that but less corny. DH and I dance a lot and I do think it's more of a lost art now, back then everyone knew how.

I wonder a lot about the childcare. Everyone just expects Zelda to do it. How does that poor woman cook, clean and take care of these kids all day? She's there until late at night too.

I was kind of shocked at her performance at the wedding. She acts like she forgot there was a Priest present, but she grew up around Rabbis and you wouldn't say those things in front of them either. [/quote]

The childcare issue *really* bothers me.  I get that this is just a silly, fluffy show and we're not to think too deeply about it or take it seriously.  But honestly, the kids are less than props even.  No one ever interacts with them (though we occasionally will see Midge patting one on the head or reading to one briefly).  I agree with a PP who said this show would be more enjoyable (and believable) if she hadn't had kids yet.  As a mom, all I can think about is "Where are the kids?  Who's watching the kids??"  Not only Midge, but her parents seem completely disinterested in them.[/quote]

I mean, you only care about childcare because the main character is the mom, right?  Do you care about childcare when the main character is a man?  [/quote]

You are trying to stir the pot, aren't you?  It's not going to work.  Bye, troll!   :lol: [/quote]

NP. I actually agree with PP. I find it disturbing so may postage’s are obsessed with the kids. The kids are not characters of the show. In fact, I think they make a point of sprinkling kids in more often than they should. Joel, getting kid safe place, them doing things during childcare at Catskills, her figuring out the neighbor can watch them on days Zelda is not available etc. I never remember being obsessed about the kids that were barely mentioned on Grey’s Anatomy for example. Don’t get me started on I Love Lucy. Why are we obsessed with where the kids are? Especially when it’s clear they live a lifestyle where childcare is obviously covered. It was very common in the 50s to have hired childcare.[/quote]
