Does anyone else think about the Brady Bunch?
I am not in a very happy place right now and somehow my mind brings me to the stupid TV series the Brady Bunch. Why were they portrayed to be so damn happy together anyways??????
PROBABLY because there was no BM or BF in sight!! Can you imagine how that series would be if there was an attached and annoying or pyscho BM? Or a BF coming to pick up his boys every now and then?
I feel like my FDH thinks that everything should be fine with BM and her family and me and him tagging along. NOT NORMAL! Its like he wants the Brady Bunch on crack and Im the weirdo for not being ok with it...
Do you think he is really ever going to find a woman ok with this scenario?? (because I was to begin with but after boundaries being crossed I am not anymore)
F--K the Brady Bunch!!!!
F..k them!!!!!
F..k them!!!!!
I agree-F..k them or you'll
I agree-F..k them or you'll get walked over.
It took us a while to figure
It took us a while to figure out all the other scandals - I'm sure Alice and the dog were up to something too. I know Alice was doing the baker or butcher or whatever he was.
The Brady's certainly had
The Brady's certainly had some things that made their blended family situation easier.
No other bio parents involved. This is huge.
Alice.
Carol didn't work and she had a housekeeper. Wtf did she have to do all day but hangout with 6 kids? Especially since she wasn't getting any from gay mike.
Plus they had exactly 3 girls and 3 boys. Perfect for those sack races in the back yard and square dancing on a Saturday night.
Maybe she did Alice.
Maybe she did Alice.
Probably having an affair
Probably having an affair with that neighbor- what was his name- mr. Ditmeyer or something like that.
Yes, f...k them EXEPT ALICE,
Yes, f...k them EXEPT ALICE, she was supposed to be mine!!!!!
I never saw the Brady bunch
I never saw the Brady bunch as a good situation. The middle kids always seemed second and left out. The youngest kids often seemed unsupervised and getting in trouble despite having a sahm and housekeeper. The oldest ones were held accountable for the younger ones even though mom and Alice were there. They didn't talk to the parents and supposedly all just fell right in love with each other like there were no bms or bds or former inlaws on either side. They were always expected to do everything together like they were perfect and do it with a smile.
In reality, stepfamilies with
In reality, stepfamilies with deceased BM or BF have just as many problems as when BF or BM is in the picture. There's so much more guilt when mommy or daddy is dead.
My DH is a widower with 3 kids (2 boys and a girl). I have two kids (boy and a girl). My kids' dad has no contact with them. So, we don't have any bioparents involved.
I find it so funny that so many SMs wish that BM was dead when all that does is make her the most perfected sainted martyr in the world that the kids resent any other woman being in their father's life.
In real life, the Brady Bunch would be Marsha crying hysterically that her Mom doesn't still love her Dad and how her Dad has been forgotten. Peter would be yelling at his Dad that he remarried too soon or that Carol wasn't doing Christmas the way his Mom did and she's evil to not do things exactly like their Mom did.
Wow that is a good point and
Wow that is a good point and very interesting. Its totally true I often wish BM dead(OMG it sounds horrible but its true!!) but, you are right the grass is always greener on the other side I guess...
Has your DH's first wife been deceased for a long time? Maybe the kids are still getting over it..?
Haha! I watched it as a kid
Haha! I watched it as a kid before I even knew what a step family was, and I wondered why those weird kids were so close and touchy. If my SD11 ever got that close to my BS11 I would shove her in Alice's deep freezer. :jawdrop: :jawdrop: Did I really just say that?
