Message withdrawn

but he loves his brother really cod

He reminded me of someone I know very very well.

I 've never understood how/why the parents have let him get away with being so obnoxious to his brother. He seems incredibly competitive and aggressive, but perhaps that is just the side we see.

Was William the youngest? Blonde hair?

He was exactly like his father.

I agree the mum is a bit odd and too laid back with him.

Message withdrawn

I thought that father was bloody awful - that bikeride where he and the younger one drove off and left the other one miles behind!

he was in police custody.

The lover is now in police custody.

James has acused him of smacking him and pushing him down the stairs and the sister agrees. The mum says it didn't happen.

It was shocking when he rang her up and threatened to beat up her dad - truly awful

Yes - why was there any suggestion that the dad / lover could have pushed him downstairs - he was upposed to be under an injunction.

V v pleased he was reported to be in police custody at the end of the prog - so he should be after making that call to her.

J's Mums ex-lover got arrested. She got a court order aginst him so she could have James back home but he made serious threats to her over the phone and had held the poor kid at knifepoint. Social worker became "reinvolved " with the family - I'm sad if they'd ever not been .

Yes, the bike-riding Dad gloated about winning to the older son.

I think they favour William because he is blinde and doesn't wear glases. Agree with Aloha.

And as for Het possibly being sent to a boarding school in India [schock].

I think the stairs incident was meant to have happened last time he was there, not recently.

I was so shocked at Het's parents considering sending her to boarding school in India.

different cultures and all that though

was her behaviour really that bad to be sent away? poor kid. she seemed like my 5yr old dd tbh, who has 2 younger siblings.

Oh yeah I know but presumably she was pregnant then too, so it was like they were getting rid of one to make way for the other one.

Agree at the shock of Het's parents wanting to send her to board in India! Was her behaviour reallt THAT bad! Didn't seem so horrendous surely. Hopefully the baby will take their mind off that idea for a while!

William's mum annoyed me so much - why did she not STOP William from picking on Charles all the time/ Argh!!!

She was no where near as badly behaved as dd2 and I wouldn't send her away.

he is a brat

we talked aobut him last time IIRC

the parents totally indulge him
