The New Adventures of Old Christine airs Wednesdays 8/7c on CBS.

In the episode airing this week Ritchie (Christine’s son) is asked to the school dance by the most popular girl in school!  Christine is thrilled and pulls out all the stops to make it an impressive first date.  She rents the couple a limo and Ritchie wears a tux to the dance.  She even gloats about her son’s new popularity to the more popular ‘meanie’ moms. When Christine overhears that Richie’s date is about to break it off, she tries to bribe her with $100 to stay together, which only makes the situation worse, much worse. 

When you think about it, being a parent you want to do everything you can to make your child happy. Even go to extreme measures. 

The only thing I can think of that would be considered extreme is I’m very overprotective of my children. If they go out of my sight for one second I am on pins and needles.

Watch a new episode every week.
