desperate housewives s1
I’ve just began season 1, on episode 8. these are my views of each of the housewives.
bree - control freak. seems like a really nice person but really wants to live the picture of ‘the perfect american family’, nice house, husband that works, 2 well behaved kids & home cooked meals everyday. she was so focused on what others thought of her that she forgot about her own family.
gabrielle - i don’t know if im saying i like her because she’s eva longoria, or because of the tiktok videos of her in later seasons. but she’s honestly what a lot of women go through (apart from sleeping with an underage boy, couldn’t they just have made her sleep with a gardener?), they loved their husbands in the beginning, and the love is still there, but they get bored and caught between the lifestyle they have and the lifestyle they want. i genuinely think she loves carlos, or else she wouldn’t still be with him. she could go back to modelling anytime she wanted. also, dealing with THAT mother in law, i couldn’t.
lynette - probably my fav, she’s so overworked and so overlooked by her husband. i feel so bad that she’s questioning if she even deserves her kids, when she clearly needs help with them. her kids love her, and she loves them, but sometimes i want to crawl through the screen and tie them up together & put them in the attic. i loved 3 moments from them though : when the lady kept grabbing her and the boys yelled ‘leave my mommy alone’ then they went and bit her and pushed her, then they all immediately ran to the car & had their seatbelts on. another was when she tried to give them the ADD medication and they all hid underneath the table, and another was when they were watching her and tom dance. seriously though, tom is a horrible husband. lynette has to deal with the struggling, tom comes every once in a while and receives all the love.
susan - so rubbish. such a bad parent, her daughter is raising her. and she’s a perfect example of a parent that is too much of a friend with their kid. there’s no line drawn between what they speak about. she’s my least favourite “housewife”.
