Is it me or is Amanda Holden a total narcissist? (I know that word gets thrown around a lot on here but I think she absolutely is one). What kind of mother wants to be centre of attention at her DD’s 18th Birthday bash?
Poor Lexi.

So aibu?

Definitely bitchy. Very bitchy. Even if you do hate that slur.
Meh.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that video, her daughter doesn't look mortified at all ......I think its really sad that so many posters on here have such stilted and strained relationships with their own dc and parents they'd have an issue. They seriously need to lighten up.

Also murder on the dance floor came out around the year 2000......it's an absolute banger and a song of our generation......I remember at parties when I was a child if twist and shout or whatever came on all the parents would erupt and hog the dance floor. Were they narcissistic arseholes too ?

I personally find the bickering between grown adults on this thread more embarrassing than the video tbh.

Fair play, she looks great and is having a good time. The crowd seem to be loving it.

My kids get embarrassed about all sorts of minor things I do. If they're at a stage where they find you embarrassing, you can't win no matter what you do. Might as well have a good time!

I mean, if that video encompasses the entirety of the party then she's the centre of attention (in which case it was a very short, odd party). Otherwise it's just a few minutes taken out of a few hours and specifically chosen to show Amanda.

You very obviously do.

Why did you think it was a ‘leaked pic’ BTW? It’s a video. I’m surprised anyone who can’t tell the difference in this day and age. If you struggle to differentiate between the two, here’s a tip: a video is like a picture, but it moves.

You’re welcome 😊

The poster appears to be a neighbour

I'm going out on a limb here but I think it may mean someone who has actually associated with her a lot. Just a thought anyway...

It’s just a made up story by the daily mail. They can spin the pictures whichever way they like. It’s clearly a disco- how do you want her to dress/behave? Wear her decorating jeans and sit in the corner drinking mocktails? She probably hs a great relationship with her daughter. Maybe yours would be embarrassed to be seen with you but not hers? Engage your critical thinking skills. YABU.

A lot or celebs like to be the centre of attention. Who knew?!

I actually don't think this was what AH was doing here. I think she was just having a really nice time and was probably feeling extra giddy because her daughter was celebrating such a milestone! My dd's18th will be this year and I suspect I will feel a whole range of emotions. Absolute pride will certainly be one and I will no doubt be wanting to dance around after a few glasses of something. Whether my dd will want me to is another matter 😂

I have a dd whom is 18 and it was her special day not mine. I wouldn’t dream of making her party all about me - getting hammered and taking over the DJ box. I feel for Lexi after a life time of this.

In Amanda’s shoes I think she could have made this about her dd. Instead it’s all about her.

Narc mothers are exhausting.

She’s an attention seeker, but I suppose it depends how her DD felt about it all.

*A lot of

How did AH make it about her? This is a one minute video of her in a DJ box for a brief moment before passing the mic to the birthday girl.

What a nasty OP.

I think she was taking the piss out of herself

@PrincessHoneysuckle yes, I agree actually.

On paper there should be so much that I hate about Amanda Holden, and I was really against her when she first became famous for being who she was rather for having an actual talent, but I think she actually comes over really well on her radio show. I'm slightly embarrassed to say I like her.

Good for her that she had a nice time and I'm sure her daughter knows what she's like and had a good giggle.

She looks like she is having a great time, anyone who wastes time worrying about who gets the attention and limelight is seriously weird- live and let live!

Horses for courses. We all went to my DD’s 18th and had a great time. I really don’t think she’s doing anything wrong. What do you want her to do? Sit in the counter with half a shandy knitting?

I’m sure her daughter wanted her there and I bet her friends think she’s a cool mum.

Like what? Why?! You don't even know her, why would you hate her, what would make you hate?

I'm slightly embarrassed to say I like her.

Also.... why?! Be embarrassed that is.
These sleb threads are always so fucking weird 😁

Well said

@tachetastic what do you mean she is famous for who she is rather than talent?

I (very briefly) glanced at the DM article (and the pictures therein).
I think its safe to say i'm not quite as invested as you Karen 🤪 😂

Some people: I hope my daughters grow up to be confident and assertive, fit and healthy.

Same people: I despise a confident and assertive, fit and healthy woman.
