I was talking to a friend of mine today about his addiction to "The Real Housewives of Orange County" This led to the conversation about what is a REAL honest to goodness housewife...
On the "Real Housewives of Orange County" they make a mockery of women in Orange County - I live in Orange County and I personally do not know one friend that has 2 nannies and a housekeeper to help with her three (3) children..... Nor have I ever attended a Botox party - and (I can honestly say - I never will) I don't work out everyday - many days I don't wear make up.... I don't have a personal trainer..... Never had an affair.... and I have never had plastic surgery...
I believe I am the typical and REAL Orange county housewife.... I am usually wearing something comfortable..... I have hundreds of balls in the air at any given time... My husband, my children, and my God come first.... You'll see me juggling a career - paying the bills, taking the kids to school - sports - friends homes - making dinner - cleaning the house and trying so hard to have quality time with the husband....
A typical housewife - loves her family.... her friends... Her main concern is providing a loving and healthy home for her family..... being a friend... helpmate... and lover to her husband... A role model, mother, and someone her kids can trust. A "Real" housewife is real - down and dirty real.... has your hair in a ponytail - breaks your fingernail - screaming lunatic (at times) real....
So my dear fellow "women" blogger friends - I bet if you look in the mirror - you will see a Real Housewife too..... Here's to the REAL women of the World..... The Real Down and Dirty Housewife......
These women are NOT the typical housewife.... funny..
