<p>I watched this show for the first time yesterday. I have to say, June is no dummy. Given better circumstances I think she would have done well in the corporate world. Her lack of education hinders her, but she isn’t stupid by any means. Alana is a SHARP kid too. The humor she has and the quick wit at age 6 is amazing. I think June is trying to make a better life for her DD’s and if that means going on tv to do so, she is taking advantage of what was given to her. I would rather spend time with her than any of the moms on T and T or OMG the Dance Perfection moms–holy carp what a bunch of mean girls in training there…DD is home recovering from surgery, we’ve watched a lot of crap tv lately :D.</p>
<p>I like that June takes the girls shopping, talks about saving money, budgets, coupons, etc. Now, having a house full of toilet paper, not for me, but it was free. They have tried to raise money for charities as a family and do a lot of family things together. WAY better than the catty moms cutting down the other girls on the team on the other shows. </p>
<p>Would I do that with our family, probably not, but if I saw it as a means to an end to get out of poverty, maybe my answer would be different.</p>
