BellaOnline Forums TV and Movies Reality TV If the Gotti's were my children, I would.........

Deprive them of all material objects. They are overindulged and not well educated from their actions and behaviors. Had they been younger, my decision to not spank would definitely have changed. LOL!

I would start by apologizing to society for my lack of parenting. I would then get my head out of my a** and start being a mother to them and lay the smack down. I would immediately stop the Reality TV Show.

I agree with J. Lynn about taking away all of their "stuff". They are spoiled rotten.

Actually they are very well educated. Her 15 year old has written a book and opened his own tanning salon.

The 18 & 19 year old are opening restaurants in the East and West ends of Manhatten plus Carmine is now on the reality show "But Can They Sing" and John is partnering with his uncle in a recording business. Both of the older guys are in college.

A&E airs all the wild stuff because it makes for good TV. Season 3 is much different. You see a more mature side to her sons.

I think she is great! And her sons are too!

I love them but I cant stand their friends when they are looking for girls they would say "hey where are the BITCHES?" How rude that makes the Gotti boys look bad. You know that sayin bird of feather flock together.

I know it seems bad but they all use slangs like that. I've seen episodes were the guys actually throw out bad language & stuff

Jay-Z has a song called 99 problems. "I got 99 problems but the Bit*h ain't one of them"....guys will throw around these slang words and A&E will air them (of course) but apparently they are really respectful and appreciate females.

They are rowdy, loud, moody but ummm....HOT! That is no excuse but we only see like 30 minutes of their lives on TV once a week. I think there is more substance to them (but I know what you mean)

smack the heck out of them and then run away and never come back!

really, they are the way they are because she let them be.

I gotta disagree (can you tell I'm a Gotti supporter?) anyways.....A&E only shows "shock" value material because no one wants to watch a family be all "I love you ma"..."I love you son"...

Lets face it....dysfunction sells and that is what A&E wants to cash in on. They are no different than a lot of families. People judge them because they think their entire life is "drama". From what I've heard they are regular guys and have regular problems...they just have lots of material wealth around them but at the end of the day they are a regular family.
