[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the house (with a few nitpicky reservations) but I just watched the video and I have to wonder: is she truly that sweet and friendly IRL. There is zero edge there. I find it almost shocking in a middle aged woman with teenagers who has an ex husband with a drinking and philandering problem and who works in an industry that does not allow naïveté to survive long.

Not criticizing just in awe. Surely this is just her public face honed from years of interviews and media interactions. No one this age is this sweet right?[/quote]

Yes. You are right. It's an act. She's a serial cheater so at least she and Ben have that in common.[/quote]

She comes off as childlike to me. It does remind me of some women I know who adopt sweetness and optimism as part of their "mom personality." I do think kids respond well to that when they are little but it's a little surprising to encounter in someone with teens. Especially divorced. Usually there's a pragmatism there that I just don't get from her in this video. Like when she's talking about how she imagined this perfect day in the great room with people playing games at the table while others sit talking around the fire and others are lounging on the sofa and how very occasionally that actually does happen and it's just "chef's kiss" -- it is endearing but also seems like a much younger person fantasizing about their dream family life. She says something similar about a reading nook and how her dream was for at some point her and her kids to snuggle in there and read all their favorite books from childhood and then it happened. Or when she's in the garden there's this very weird moment where she's like "I just love the idea that you can come out in the garden and find a snack!" because of the (recently planted and not very developed) fruit trees. Her delivery sounds like a 12 year old.

But then she talks about how she freaks out when her kids have friends over to play in the pool and it's hard to keep them from running all over the house soaking wet and that was super relatable. You can tell it's a genuine source of stress for her. But other than that moment she just seems unrealistically cute and sweet.[/quote]

NP but I absolutely and truthfully love the idea that you can go out in the garden and find a snack, so I guess to each their own...

Maybe I should move to a farm....[/quote]
