Is anyone else disturbed...


that two 30-something year old girls still call their parents "mommy" and "daddy"? I mean they have never once just said mom or dad. I realize this *beep* is super scripted but it sounds so childish..especially since they have their own business.

I just came on here to say the same thing. This is the first time I've watched this show and I don't think I will watch this show ever again because it is so annoying to hear Mommy every other word from someone over 9.

I came here to write the same thing. It's really creepy and gives me Law and Order: SVU vibes.

It could be a Greek thing. Also, if you look at it in context, sounds kind of like a nickname too since employees call her Mommy too.

What would you expect from these sisters? They are very childish and immature. It is disgusting that in these difficult times people like these two and "The Cake Boss" are paid large sums of money to act this way. They already have jobs and businesses. What about the people that could use all that money; they would probably set a better example.

I couldn't agree more. They are sooo childish and immature - and competitive! Pretty much every episode is about them competing against each other, trying to beat each other. I wonder if this is a typically American thing, since Cake Boss is immature in exactly the same way: always challenging each other to these stupid, immature competitions and then letting their whole self-worth depend on the outcome. It's just so pathetic! I just wanna scream at these people to grow up already!! For god's sake.
I just saw an episode where these girls tried to out-do each other - Boston versus New York. And they really got intense about it, I mean, the words 'friendly competition' don't apply - they really want to BEAT each other, hard. It's so SICK. No doubt their immaturity stems from being brought up by that DUNCE, "Mommy". She irritates me to no end.
It also bothers me that they NEVER wear hair nets, and always have hair hanging in front of their faces.
And the "sculptures" they make with cupcakes never really look good. PLUS, assuming they are for decoration only and not for eating, what a WASTE of hundreds of cupcakes! How can you justify wasting that much food, when there are people starving out there?!
If these girls - and I call them that deliberately, since they are so immature - didn't have their husbands and a bunch of other people bailing them out constantly, their business would have failed a long time ago. They are a sad commentary on today's society.
