This really shows the superficiality that a certain group of pregnant women have reached in their boring lives. These are self centered individuals that really should have nothing to do with motherhood. They will outsource the entire raising of their children to other people, bcs they can affort to. Of course strollers are as accessories, the baby is an accessory to them. I don't know about you, but I could not wear heels during early pregnancy, bcs I thought if I fall I could hurt my baby, and later I could barely walk in flip-flops... I stay away from these shows, bcs this would make me puke... :-)

Totally insane.

Did Rosie really tell one of her clients to "Purell your hands" before changing the baby's diaper? Really? Before?

I have 3 kids, and I fail her Mummy IQ test every time.

Sounds like a fun show! I'd better tune in :)

i think it is pretty entertaining. obviously the parents to be are on extreme sides of the spectrum, but hey, it's reality tv! i think big city moms can at least partially relate to these parents. plus, rosie is pretty adorable and handles these inflamed situations very well. i am impressed with her.

Ok, I'm a foster parent and I know children who have been taken away from parents that say the same things these parents say.

But because these yahoos have money, they're ok to raise kids????

I swear I wanted to call Child Protective Services on that mother from last night who didn't want to actually touch her child.

In the real world, that's called neglect!

OH man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't look away from this train wreck. I love me some Bravo style "reality" TV and when you add parenthood to the mix it's just so darn shamefully entertaining.

Her lisp is super annoying and the whole thing seems totally staged but I've still watched 2 episodes....

Oh wish I could watch this here in the UK - seen a few clips and looks hilarious!

Weird. I swear not twenty minutes ago I searched your site to see if you had ever mentioned Rosie Pope, or the show! ha!

I think Carla from small+friendly represents my opinion of the show pretty much perfectly.

And, I also agree that Rosie handles these women well, even if she's probably charging them a pretty penny to do so.

This is the type of show that is begging for a snarky recap! That's honestly all I would be able to handle with dealing with this show.

Gotta go with awful on this one. Like, really, super, terribly awful.

I can't stop watching but cringe the entire time. It feels staged to me.
Roni- I think you and I might be friends in real life, I clicked on this post and then saw it was you who posted of all the contributers, lol. xoxo Shelli from yesterday's Navy and Lime Nursery at a' la mode

I'm hooked on this train wreck. As a Manhattan resident I don't get it. I have 2 kids and I agree with everyone's comments.
1) I CANNOT stand her lisp.
2) I didn't get why she was consulted by someone who wanted to ask her employer to be godfather to her kid. I understand that she's British and the boss is British, but the mom has the relationship with the boss, so it made NO sense to me, but I can't stop watching.
3) she bills herself as having these especially rich clients, but I don't know that's the case. My husband has co-workers who knew one of the dad's and they confirmed that all of the episodes were casted and scenarios were set up. I just wonder what's in it for the parents, maybe free maternity clothes?
4) she had a mom put together a breast pump as part of the IQ test. They're all different and that mom didn't seem to care about breast feeding. That was total show-womanship!
Seriously, who's manning this successful store while she's galavanting all day??? Who's designing the clothes? I don't get it and that's probably why I'm riveted. She will probably build a brand by constructing a reality show that already has her as a brand. Bethenny Frankel lives in Hudson Sq. now and she didn't have a pot to piss in before her show so I'm sure Rosie will be the same. She will build a mini maternity empire...

I'm finding it entertaining. I like her (on the show) and know her store - I walk by every day on the way to work, it's been there for a while and given the location I have to believe she's doing well for herself even before the show. It does seem to be very staged situations, but I guess I was thinking it was more like Millionaire Matchmaker - the business I assume is legitimate outside the show, but the clients they film are people who were interested in the services to begin with and were then cast. I don't think they're just random rich pregnant women they found shopping in Barneys. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like that kind of setup which I think is perfectly fair. You have to have people who are interested in being on tv in order to film a reality show, so I don't have an issue if she's casting from her client list.

Again, very staged situations, but a lot of them seem legitimately nuts and I find Rosie pretty charming and down-to-earth and she seems to be fully aware that these women are crazy bitches and she doesn't buy into that lifestyle herself, so I don't mind her. If she pandered to them I would find it more annoying.

Just more mindless Bravo fluff - I'd pretend to be sad about humanity or something noble like that, but....come on, sometimes you just need stupid entertainment.

Although the parents on the show are pretty ridiculous I am enjoying watching Rosie Pope. I notice one thing that she says a lot is that she is there for the baby and some of the things she does and says to the parents proves that she is there for the baby. Of course at a high price but it seems to me like she is trying to make a point...

OH it's a lisp?! I've only caught the first episode but I thought she was faking some sort of british accent. Thanks for clearing that up.

I love watching her show! Some of it does seem extreme, but come on- who ever would pay a woman that much for that sort of help/advice, they are going to be a little much to handle!

I don't know which one annoys me more... the snobby, ridiculous moms or the fact that Rosie actually implied that having a c-section means that you don't deserve a "push present" because you "just lay there"!

I didn't watch the whole episode but what I did see seemed staged. I also usually love to do my trash tv on bravo but this show bored me, I didn't make it all the way through.

ohhh too bad we got rid of cable! it's this kind of hilarity and ridiculousness that makes me love my "normal" life more and more :)

This show is absolutely ridiculous and it makes me sad that some parents are actually LIKE that. What ever happened to just enjoying being pregnant & savoring time with a newborn? All they do for the first couple months is eat, poop, cry & sleep. There, that's all you need to know.

That being said, of course I watch it ;)

The best part about this show are the snarky responses written by the BabyGuyGearGuide!

I adore this show! Not sure why, but I do. I kinda love Rosie too. And the above pic is so Photoshopped it's ridiculous. Which just makes me like the whole thing more. Ahhhh!

I love the show! I'm certain some of these scenarios are staged but I have no doubt she
deals with some extreme clients. I am also in the high-end baby retail business and have come across my fair share of unprepared, unrealistic mothers-to-be. In my experience, they come around once they hold their new baby for the first time.

I love pregnant in heels, am eating up every Rosie saves the day moment of it. Tips on their sex life? A woman who's never touched a baby, and refuses to do anything that might get poop on her?

Love it!
