Ramona Questions Luann's Parenting Style on 'Real Housewives of New York City' (VIDEO)

by Nick Zaino, posted Apr 29th 2011 5:15AM
We realize this comes as no surprise to anyone, least of all those familiar with 'The Real Housewives of New York City' (Thu., 10PM ET on BRAVO), but things got catty between Ramona and Luann on Thursday night's episode. It all had to do with Luann and her boyfriend, and the time she spends in New York with him versus the time she spends at home with the kids.

Ramona's position, though she never stated it explicitly, was that Luann was a bit of an absentee parent. Ramona talked about Luann bringing her kids to this new life, and then leaving them to spend time in New York with her boyfriend. "You have this great guy, and now you live in the city during the week with him," Ramona said. Luann begged to differ, saying it was only a couple of days a week.

The arrangement worked out well for her, Luann said, which led Ramona to call her a "weekend mom." "It's whatever works," said Ramona, somewhat insincerely. You know, whatever you wanna do. If being an absentee parent works for you, that's fine, Ramona won't judge you. She's just sayin'. You know?

Good for Ramona...Luann is always butting her nose where it doesn't belong. Sonya is a mean girl. Wow...it didn't take her long to show us her true self absorbed colors.

It was great that Romona called out LuAnn for being an absent parent. Good luck with letting the babysitter raise your kids during the week while you film your show and play with your boy. I suppose the girl needs to work now that she's divorced from the count. She does seem happy. But what is going on with Romona lately? She seems totally imbalanced. Even more than usual! And I think Sonia is a real self absorbed bitch. She's just plain rude. I have been watching this show for years but this season I'm just not feeling it...i miss bethany.

A couple of wealthy teenagers left at home along, several days a week, very well....what could go wrong with that?? Drugs, pregnancy, depression. These parents who think their teens need them less are nuts. The trouble they can get into at 15, 16 & 17 has far greater consequences than when they were younger. Yes, we have instilled our values, but the job is far from done when they are teens.

I'm sorry, Luanne, you are putting your own happiness in front of the well being of your children. Your preexisting committment to motherhood superceeds the one you'd like to make as girlfriend!

get them all off TV. Maybe there would be some quality TV that could actually benefit someone somehow. Not sure what any of the Housewives do besides whine and complain that their RICH televised lives are soooooo difficult. Imagine how much worse they would be if they didn't have all the extra monies TV produces.

Hey maybe um I don't know, DAD should step in and do their jobs. It's not all up to women to be parents! Men are so useless. They don't think they should do ANYTHING.

Patrice...I agree, their Dad should fill the gap, but obviously, he's not. Someone needs to be with those children parenting them!

ramona is a phoney, two-faced, ignorant b*tch. she isn't upset because of her friendship with cindy and wanting the clear the air with her brother. she's only upset because she was caught talking badly about them. her only concern is for herself and that she was finally busted for being a b*tch. besides, it's a damn cigar! quit it with the stupid dramatics!!!!

Interesting what mom will say if she faces the fact that one of her children is pregnant. Will she say, it couldnt happen, or we will deal with it? Not real suave. Either you are a parent or not a parent. Either you raise your children or give them up. Dont need to be a brain scientist to figure this out. Mother is self centered, placing her needs above her children. LADY GET A CLUE..YOU GIVE PARENTING A BAD RAP.

Alex and Ramona are trouble makers and mean, wicked individuals.Glad they are not my friends because with friends like them you don't need any enemies.Alex has Kelly branded as nuts and now she is branding Sonja the same way. Brings to mind, one finger pointing out and 3 pointing back!

Oh come on....Kelly's branded herself as nuts by her own behaviour...nothing more than a self-inflicted wound! I used to like Sonja, but this season, her true colors are showing....and they're not very pretty. It's "raining men"....indeed! That fall from the horse was karma in action.
