Yes, I thought this was strange to miss your child's birthday. But also, I think Stephanie is looking at the bigger picture - she is a widow, who does want her daughter to grow up and experience future birthdays surrounded by a loving father & family. If you saw her interview last week, she really believes that she has a lot in common with Jason (I love them both, actually she's my favorite - but not sure I see them together as a couple)
But also when they showed the preview for next week's show - Stephanie & Jason have a one on one date & she is surprised by her daughter - and it is on the day of her birthday. So, I believe the producers recognized the importance of that - plus they know it makes good TV when you are trying to marry off a single dad to see how he would mesh with another family.
I missed the first hour of the show Monday - anyone want to fill me in on what happened I'm assuming with the 1st grp date? |
