Teresa Giudice Bankruptcy: How Are Her Kids Feeling? Can This Be a Postive Thing?
It’s incredibly hard to feel even an once of sympathy for Teresa Giudice. The Housewife of New Jersey lives in a fantasy world complete with a real life marble mansion full of unnecessary items like a suit of armor and gilded fireplace accessories. She and her husband are a whopping $11 million in debt, an amount that is so inexplicably irresponsible you have to wonder if she has mental problems. $11 friggin million, honey!
And while she has to put on a happy face for the press, she doesn’t seem to realize just how bad things have gotten. The woman was asking for diamonds on the last episode.
So there: I don’t feel bad for Teresa or her husband Joe in the slightest. I do however, feel twangs of sympathy for her four children. They are in way, victims in this situation. They are seeing items they’ve grown up with disappear before their eyes, their home become one huge For Sale sign. Their crib and toys are being sold off. This is hard to understand and it’s hurtful. And you can’t forget the practical ways this will hurt them. Those with bad credit can have trouble applying for school loans, purchasing or renting homes, making providing for children a major issue.
Hopefully though not likely, Teresa’s will make this into a valuable lesson for her daughters.
We’ve seen Teresa take them on wild shopping sprees, heard her bribe them to stop crying with the promise of a bike and other presents. Gia has a jacuzzi in her room. Let’s face it. Gia, Gabriella, and Milania are spoiled and this is never a good thing.
Dr. Dan Kindlon tell iVillage: “We’ve all seen kids who are spoiled. There’s a greediness about them. They throw tantrums in toy stores when their parents won’t buy them what they want. They always seem to want more and expect to get their own way. They have trouble sharing.”
Maybe having less will help them in the long run? Teresa just gave birth to baby Audriana, who will no doubt live a very different lifestyle during her formative years than her siblings have.
Teresa will hopefully use this as a chance to teach her children about responsible spending and living within your means. They need to learn the value of money and most specifically, that it can not buy happiness. Teresa can only do this though, if she actually learns something from this experience.

buddy shlubmann, jr. commented on Jul 30 10 at 9:18 amThis woman is so delusional about her impotance. There is none of her massive jewelry collection listed to be auctioned off. Where are these pieces hidden? She knows exactly what she is doing because she is a grifter and con artist. She may be uneducated but she is extremely street wise with a thug mentality.
Laurel commented on Jul 30 10 at 12:16 pmI kind of like Teresa, but she is definately a poser! Someone who wants people to think they have it together and have everything, but in reality, have nothing! They seem to have mob connestions, a pizzeria and a laundry mat are just 2 of the suspicious things, plus all of the cash on last season’s episodes. I definately think they are not alone in all of this smoke and mirrors. I just wonder about the rest of the HWONJ?!
Lorrie Y commented on Aug 11 10 at 7:49 amMy sympathy is with the children, especially Gia who at 9 yrs old is over indulged & spoiled. What 9 yr old has a “couture purse” to use for her baby sister’s christening???? Joe apparently didn’t inform Teresa of their finances until he took away her “checkbook”?? Teresa’s spending sprees & demands for diamonds & items beyond their financial menas put the entire family where they are.
I feel the “mansion” should also be in foreclosure to pay bills along with the diamonds Teresa demanded from Joe. The tacky furniture/ligthing fixtures/candle sticks/mirrors/pool & poker table/bar gas grill isn’t going to pay the bills they owe.
We the public will be paying for the Giudice’s over the top lifetstyle.
