House rules

...are meant to be broken!

I see that some people are criticizing Julie for announcing house rules, but let's face it some of those women were so ill mannered the last time. And look how they behaved (well, Caroline) this time. I'd really be pissed if I had set up a dinner party and then had to sit around HOURS waiting for several guests to show up. In one day alone one group came late twice, and it was all because of Caroline. Then the way she moped and carried on about being treat like a child!

Two weeks ago a group met at our house for a lunch/meeting. One couple showed up 45 minutes late, and although they apologized (a long distance call from their daughter) I was still a little out. They could have texted or called me to let me know they were running late. Because they didn't six of us sat around waiting for them. We should've started without them.

Well, Robbie, YOU're not invited. That's for sure. ;-p

Honestly, if the house "rules" had simply been, "If you have to urinate, please use the bathroom. Please do not squat in the corner." Caroline and Juliet would have still complained. And some idiot on this board would have found a way to defend them. People have no respect, manners, or accountability anymore and for some reason other people try to justify it.

Agree!

I'm not defending Caroline or the others on the way they behaved. However, their poor manners and rudeness are not an excuse for Julie to also be rude. She should be more choosy about who she invites to Mapperton.

How was Julie rude? I'm not a fan of Julie's but I really don't think she did anything wrong. Maybe she shouldn't have called out specific women when mentioning her house rules, but that's a minor offense that most people wouldn't care about. The whole situation spiraled out of control because Caroline and Juliet went way overboard and ceased all semblance of logic or coherence.

I agree. Most of the other women had no problems with any of the rules. In fact, the scene on Julie's bed with Sophie etc showed that they took it with good humor.

When hosting a formal dinner party it is rude to give grown women a list of house rules. Telling them they are not allowed to pass their plates or exchange food is ridiculous. As the hostess, Julie has the responsibility to see that her guests needs are met. If she dislikes the way they act, and they are all pretty bad, then she should not invite them.

With this group of women that would mean she'd be eating a lot of meals alone!

This ^^ Juliegirl. Caroline wasn't perfect in any way shape or form but...Julie telling her contemporaries how to behave on their weekend away/holiday is pretty mental if you ask me.

I catch this show from time to time and I think these grown women act very juvenile as if they were still in boarding school. I doubt these women will ever grow up. Mean girls.
