Sorry no, DDs younger than degree level at the moment. However, as part of a lazy Sunday DD1 (14 nearly 15) and I were watching Nanny McPhee yesterday, not a ‘Disney’ fairytale admittedly but same type of scenario. She, of her own accord, questioned why all the ‘dead’ mothers were wonderful and all the stepmothers were evil. I suggested it was possibly a ‘modern’ ‘marketing’ pitch but didn’t know about this. I guess somewhere along the line it became more palatable somehow to suggest the evil mothers couldnt possibly have been birth mothers. It will be an interesting subject to explore.
