Yeah I know what you mean..I just tell myself, look these people went through the same crap I've gone through..atleast some of them and I just like the happy ending of it all. YKWIM?
I also still watch bringing home baby, I will never know what it is like to bring a newborn home but I am a glutten for punishment when it comes to sappy shows. I also watch Extreme Home Makeover faithfully which means I cry every single sunday night.
