I don't get why some get so annoyed that anyone can have and be proud of their families. Many of these are probably the same ones who repeat their own stories to friends and acquaintances or those who find ways to make their own lives miserable rather than seeing the positive. Also it's a sales tactic to get customers to identify with them. I recently bought a new vehicle and one of the first things the salesman did was to "accidently" knock over a large picture of him and his wife. As he was putting it back up he found a way to work in that they were expecting their first child in a month.

@Pook, sounds like he was trying to explain away his being nervous. Could be that too.

A seasoned car salesman isn't nervous - it was clearly a staged move because he immediately asked if I had children and when I said no he continued to try to find a common bond that I could relate to - all for a sale! This is something all salespeople are taught in training.

Kind of like when you order something at a restaurant and your server tells you it is their favorite? [sarcasm]I wonder what host the OP is talking about.[/sarcasm]

It's the holiday season - can't we get away from the snarky posts for now, please?

I'm not positive who you are speaking of; however, if it's who I think it is, I love this particular host. I adore listening to how lovingly she refers to her family and find myself wishing I had come from a home such as hers. My family was very dysfunctional. I had a mother, but I didn't have a mommy, if you can understand what I'm saying. Never did my mother say she loved me or wrap her arms around me in a hug. Fortunately, I went the total opposite with my children, so there was something good in the end.

Yes it is very annoying. I know it's nice to hear about families but not day in day out and everyone is so perfect! Turn the channel well sometimes I am interested in what they are selling and need some information on product. She gets carried away again with her stories and then I have to turn the channel in frustration. This happened with a DB purse and I didn't buy it because I could not get an explanation about the purse. Happier note! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving may it be with family or friends or someone alone peace be with all of you.

I never watch anymore. Saving a boat load of money and only buy when I'm really needing something. Happy Thanksgiving.

I could have written this one. Sometimes things happen for the best, and I am so happy that my children and grands are all loving and loved. So glad I went the other way with my kids also. No one ever says goodbye in person, on the phone or in a text without saying, "I Love You". It feels wonderful.
