Priorities have changed for Andy Cohen since he became a father — including his perspective on the Real Housewives franchise.

In a preview for this week's episode of Bitch Sesh: A Real Housewives Breakdown, Cohen, 56, joined hosts Casey Wilson, 43, and Danielle Schneider, 49, to discuss the season finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey, including the headline-making comments Teresa Giudice's husband Luis Relas made about Margaret Joseph's son.

"My perspective on the Housewives has shifted a little bit since becoming a dad," Cohen says. "Just because I pay attention to different...you know, I look at it a little differently."

"But man, let me tell you something. If someone that I didn't care for invoked either of my children's names, I would go...as 'mellow yellow' as I usually am, that is what it would take for me," the dad of two says.

"Danielle Cabral’s button is ‘Don’t talk about my husband’s pecks.’ Mine would be, ‘If you mention my children in an unfavorable way.’ Like, I would go absolutely mental. I assume that’s just very common."

In June, Cohen shared a glimpse into the start of his Father's Day on his Instagram Stories — which included a slightly later wake-up call and some cuddles while watching Camp Snoopy.

The Watch What Happens Live host told his followers, "Happy Father's Day to one and all. My present today was that my son got up at 7:05." He celebrated the unexpected sleep-in by giving the camera a thumbs-up.

"How great is that?" Cohen said, noting that he figured Ben would wake him up much earlier.

"You know what? Happy Father's Day to me, and everybody else," he added.
