Some nasty comments here, it’s disappointing that people can be so judgemental and small minded. I’m pretty ambivalent about AH but she is clearly very proud of her dd’s and absolutely devoted to them. It’s horrid to say that any mother is jealous of her dd’s.
The outfit she’s wearing is actually pretty understated (for AH), she usually wears far more daring clothes, its almost as if she wants her dd to be the centre of attention on her birthday.
And there is nothing wrong with having fun at your dc’s birthday party. My dd seems to hate me most of the time at the minute but literally drags me up to dance with her at parties. It’s something we’ve always done since she was small.
My own dm was really outgoing and always the centre of attention but I loved spending time with her, even when people jokingly said we must be sisters. She was never jealous of us, in fact she was never anything but proud but she couldn’t be expected to suddenly change her personality just because she had teenage daughters. We were never embarrassed, mum was so caring and so much fun. There was the odd comment but only from people who were envious. I can say that for all their issues with her parenting, my dm was definitely the only one waiting to collect us outside the club as she wanted be sure we got home safely.
