Poor old David, a young bloke actually having to do a few hair-dos at Audreys, where there always seem to be more staff than customers and a few shifts in his brother's restaurant where he seems more interested in talking to the midwife than doing any serving and the poor lovie is worn out - bless. Some people I know do 3 jobs to make ends meet and actually do them. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteThe Bistro is always 'fully booked' yet anyone can walk in off the street and get a table just like that.
ReplyDeleteI have no sympathy for David...I hope he gets what's coming to him..both barrels.
Are all the writers on the show men?? Why are pregnant women treated like they're fragile glass, even early on in their pregnancies?
ReplyDeleteUnless there's a known health risk, the majority of women continue on with normal lives, work, other children, housework, etc etc.
I'd love to take a poll of the folks in this blog site ... how many of you women who've been pregnant had panic-stricken men treating you like you're gonna shatter at any second?

I worked at a Woolworth's food counter, walking up and down, cooking and serving till 9 months pregnant, could balance a dinner plate on my bump!
ReplyDeleteI packed my things, changed jobs, moved countries, and took 2 days off from work to give birth, while the bloke who wanted the kid so desperately drank himself into a ditch and ran around with other women.
ReplyDelete:-D Thanks for responses! I knew we were all made of sturdier stuff! LOL! I had 2 boys and worked right 'til the last minute for both of them. I sure didn't stop working and vacuuming at 21 weeks!!

I have a heart murmur, and sailed through 2 pregnancies and births without a hitch, for which I'm happy. I never even had morning sickness.
ReplyDeleteI agree - these writers for the Kylie pregnancy story line must be men. Her husband is working her job shifts because of her high BP, and she's home eating salted crisps! Laughable!
At least Tina seems to be having a "normal" pregnancy.
Totally unrealistic. She's a young healthy woman and this is her second pregnancy. My sisters, my friends and I all worked full time till near our due dates. I remember taking the bus to work and I had a walk a piece to get to the office and remember throwing up in a parking garage on the way
ReplyDeleteDon't any of the idiots on this show read a book or take pre-natal classes?
