Whats yalls opinions on Edie?

What do you think about Edie? I have mixed opinions. I agree that shes missunderstood and that they judged her unnecessarily in the beginning and only saw her as a hot dumb blonde, but at the same time she has no moral codes which we notice later on.

She went after Carlos after they got divorced which i find like a diss against Gabby and i think she first only went after Carlos to spite Gabby and later caught feelings. Would she had done that if he wasnt so good with her son?

And dont get me started on what she did to mike after his coma, its utterly unforgivable. I cant belive they just forgave her for it. She lied to him and then they 'got together', mike had no idea it was a lie, i dont think its okay. You just dont do that.

She gives me major 'me,me,me' vibes. She doesnt care about anyone else.

And when she came back five years later and expected an apology? Hell no. She was the terrible person and they had a reason to abandon her. Shes a bad person with some amount of kindness sometimes. She was always pretty rude too.

Am i resonable about my aunt and dad?

Hi, i have a bit of a dilemma. Im a teenager and i have an aunt who has three kids. They are all under the age of five. Some backstory:

My dad and aunt owns a summerhouse on an island halfway across the country and we usually spend a couple of weeks there in the summer. Now heres the issue:

My aunt can be..pushy. Whenever i meet her and her kids i feel like she tried to force them on me. Before she had a phase where she refused to say no to her kids as it sparked negativity. Idk why she thinks of it like that. So she has recently moved into the city where me and my fam lives. We see eachother more frequently now since she used to live an hour away. And again, anytime we go there im always being pushed to hang with her kids. And i get that she wants me to be around her kids, and i would want that if it wasnt so expectant of me. If her husband or my dad says he cant watch the kids while she does something she always asks me and she doesnt take my no for an answer. Its always a "oh come on dont sit around doing nothing pkay with ur cousins"

(Her husband is a doc, so hes busy alot)

When we where at our summerhouse we were celebrating a national holiday and everyone on the island was gathered and dancing with theyre kids. My kinda friend and his friend was there and they were not forced to dance while i was. I refused at first since i was tired and i didnt see why i had too. My dad got angry but i told him he could do it but he said he didnt want to and i was forced.

Im also not alowed to for an example drink sodas round her kids bcs they aint alowed. I can if i drink in a cup. Im not alowed to be independent in a way, theres no 'well she can do this since shes a big girl' talk. On my mums side, there is that kinda talk with my cousins.

Me and her husband share a birthday. Im forced to spend it with him on a kid friendly place. I told my dad MONTHS before that i wanted to go to a special sushi place a bit away from town but my aunt couldnt make it so we had to go to another place. We got in a fight where i told him he prio her wants over mine and he got so angry at me.

I just feel very overlooked and i hate how they expect mr to just babysit while we visit. Im not big on the whole 'small children who makes messes' thing. I just dont like it, i like being clean and having things a certain organised way.

So recently i always try to avoid going there saying i have homework or that i cant stay long because i have schoolwork or other plans. I dont know what to do and i need to know if im resonable. Ive talked to my dad who is asking if i like being around my aunt and the thing is, when i was younger i loved being around my aunt but now shes kinda strict and pushy.

I love my aunt and cousins but i cant help but feel line its forced on me. She had become better recently tho.

Am i resonable for avoiding her or am i overreacting?

Why did they remove benjamin?

I dont understand why they made such a big deal of bree having the baby if they were just going to take benjamin away from her. They made it such a big deal and part of her character in that season and then they just kinda...dumped it? Just didnt make any sense!

Honestly why did Gaby become a mom?

Im on my first rewatch of Desperate Housewives and i cant help but wonder what went through the writers heads when they decided to make Gaby a mom? All she ever talked about when the subject of children came up was how she DID NOT wanna be a mother and by the way she is a mother, it was def a bad choice for her character. She doesnt seem to enjoy it but im only on like season 5-6 so maybe she grows into it?

But i just dont understand why they would make her have kids since all she ever said in the earlier seasons was that she didnt want em and all of a sudden, bam, she wants kids? Honestly it made Renee seem like a replacement for the "i dont want/need kids" mentality, which is crazy because she actually wanted kids later on

It just made me feel like they where trying to say that every housewive need/will have kids. You can be a housewive without a kid.
