You gotti see 'Growing up Gotti"

Let me introduce you to the Gotti's. Victoria Gotti; daughter of John Gotti, executive editor at large at Star magazine, author of the novels, 'The Senator's Daughter', 'I'll Be Watching You' and 'Superstar',
mother of three boys, Carmine, Frank and John (she sure does have her hands full!).

I have to say that I have never been interested in anything to do with 'the mob'. I don't watch television shows about them, or films about them. And although friends rant and rave about how great the sopranos are, I really have no interest in watching the show. So you are asking, dear reader, 'why am i doing talking about Growing Up Gotti, as it is a reality show about a mob family. Well, I may not be interested in the mob, but I am interested in people.

Victoria is a wonderful woman. She may, as first impressions go, look like an older version of Pamela Anderson (Pamela is also a very involved mother, just as a side note). But when she dresses up for a special occasion, she is truly glamorous!

I love strong women. And Victoria Gotti is definitely a strong woman. Did you watch the episode last week when she hired an assistant? Bad, bad choice...I knew it was not going to work from the get go. My husband was tired of hearing me scream at the television 'they are all loser, pick me!'. I would love to do that job! How hard can it be?? Well, I understand she could be very demanding, but she needs to be. She is a professional woman managing a career, being a single mum and trying to control three boys! You try it!

So if I have just given you the impression I am a struggling single mum trying to make a living, I'm not. But does it count that I was a live in nanny for about 18 months.....talk about hard work, the parents owned a restaurant so they were rarely home, and I spent every waking hour with 3 children (3,6 & 9 yrs old). It was difficult trying to work out where the job ends and my life begins. But knowing that I coped in that job role, I just know I could work for Victoria. I have also been doing reception/admin roles for a number of years so I definitely have the credentials to be a wonderful assistant to Ms. Grotti, opps Ms Gotti (oh and I will be sure to get her name right, for some reason I keep calling them the Grotti family, instead of the Gotti's! Don't worry I have done a spell check).

And maybe she would expect alot but I am sure she pays well! I have worked for much less and had to deal with painful bosses in the past. I already know how to keep the boys in line, give them all a box of hair gel and send them to their rooms. Presto! Such tranquility.

The main reason I love this family so much is that they remind me of my own family. No, my family are not associated with the mob! And they aren't even italian. I really meant to say that they remind me of my immediate family. Ok, so my family are irish and all my relatives are irish. But I think my (irish) aunt wished she was italian? When she wasn't enjoying the company of the irish, she was hanging out with italians. We actually spent a great deal of time with italian families, that my aunt introduced us to. They are wonderful, vibrant people who exhibit a great love for life, and the odd bottle of wine or four. We had a ball!! I must admit that there was alot of yelling, not in an angry manner. It was inevitable that when everyone got together it would get really loud, much like special occasions with my husbands family (or any occasion). It was wonderful!

Lets make a toast to another series of the Gotti's. May your family live long, and peaceful lives, yeh lots of peaceful would be nice.

Mrs. Victoria Gotti,
I would first like to say that I enjoy watching you and your family on the reality tv series. You are someone to be admired, your very attractive and I just hope the ladies that view your show learn from you and see that being attractive is a wonderful thing but being wise, smart, strong, and have the ability to raise three well educated men which is tough to do in today world makes a true and complete woman.To the Gotti men, I hope you see that your mother and her values are what women seem to lack these days. For all the ladies who have posted their comments to "The Gotti Family" if you really watched the show as you claim, I think you would be aware that Victoria being who she is and what she wants for her boys she would never allow her boys to read much less respond to the disrespectful and tacky english grammer that you ladies use. Comments such as those are comments used by women who think that trash talk like that attracts men, well it may attract men but those type of men don't include "The Gotti Boys" and if any of you were ever to find yourself any where near the Gotti family I pray you think before you speak and if you have time take some courses on how to speak the english language.
You have a beautiful family
God Bless
Alexandra, Southern California

I'm Italian. I think that this movie is very racist agaist Italians. We are the 6ht powerfull industrial nation in the world (Ferrari,best design,best foods,best fashion and a man into space in these days (Vittori)).
Italians are: Cristoforo Colombo, Amerigo Vespucci (who called America in this way),Meucci (created phone in 1850), Marconi (created Radio in early 1900), Fermi (Nuclear energy), Volta (Voltt-elctricity energy),other 100,000 artists,popes,saints,scientiscits (a lot of Nobel prices),genius etc( from latin et cetera and more).
It's time to describe real Italians! You can discov that Italians study a lot (we must study for university books of 1000 pages and than makes Oral Exams!). I suggest you to ask an Italian to continue this poem:" Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita.." He will continue this poem!! This is by Dante Alighieri (1200).
We are good persons, with a great culture and very hospitable but Americans are very racist with us. We are not as Soprano o Gotti! Italians hate mafiosi.
Sorry for my English. I speak better french and I love to read Latin (I'm only 23 years old but a lot of Italian study Latin at schools. This is the language of Romans and Roman-litterature.)
