The way she forced her kid to wear weird clothes knowing he’d get picked on for it, the way she forced him to be vegetarian because that was HER beliefs, the way she encouraged him to randomly start singing despite knowing it would make him a target …

AIBU to find her insufferable? I used to know a woman like this in real life, her kids were miserable.

Book is written and based around kurt cobain dying. There were people like that who would be worthy of being written about

About A Boy isn't about Kurt Cobain?
It's about a lonely kid in North London with a depressed mum (who yes - was a bit annoying).
