Thanksgiving on Wisteria Lane, Sorry Grateful



Thanksgiving on Wisteria Lane, eventful none the less! What are these greedy housewives thankful for exactly? Maybr Gabbys grateful for her long lost daughter who she just came in contact with, maybe Lanette is thankful for her 5 kids and her housewive like lifestyle. I know one thing Susans no thankful for, and thats her husband being gone for 3 months and her childs longing for his daddy to be home and tucking him in bed. Im sure shes not thankful for the many tears her son cries at night while laying in bed trying to fall asleep. But the one thing she is thankful for, her family, and the fact that she has one. What is Bri thankful for? maybe her young hot boyfriend, her son and her long lasting cooking company and successful book. One thing shes not thankful for, her lingering drinking problem, her never ending divorce issues and perhaps her inlaws to be, that she was just introduced to.
These never ending issues dwelling apon these 4 women never seem to end. They all have things to be thankful for and things to not be as grateful for. But the fact is, each women has something ideal about them. Something that every women "should" intail in their lives. Whether it be the stay at home mom and housewive, the greedy gold digger who doesnt appreciate anything and spoils her kids, the perfect rich cook who makes a living from a cook book she wrote, or the struggling women just trying to make ends meet and take care of her son while her husband is away trying to make money for the family. Each women is their own example of the ideal women of today. They all portray a different type of woman that we are "suppose" to be but most of us dont fall under those categories in reality. Instead, we l ook up these women and try to become the woman that they are.
 These expectations just keep growing each week. We think subconciously that this is how we are suppose to be, and we tune in every week to be filled in on the new juicy drama that goes on in these womens lives. We strive off of it! We love it. Because to us, this is what reality looks like. Even though we know inside that its just t.v, somehow to doesnt matter and we look past it and try to reach these unreachable standards set for us. What do we do next? become media literate and pay attention to these things when consuming all this drama! Stay tuneddddd
