Cheering on the family is becoming a habit!

An hour's commute? Where are the children?

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 13/02/2013 09:50

I`m afraid I could go and give her a slap myself. Selfish selfish woman.

FergusSingsTheBlues · 13/02/2013 09:50

Oh look, she helps people...other than her own daughter.

Passmethecrisps · 13/02/2013 09:50

She's content? They are mental.

I do wonder how much of this story isn't being told.

BinarySolo · 13/02/2013 09:50

How ironic that she's in the care industry.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 13/02/2013 09:50

And she is picking up an Aussie accent.

I am fuming. What about that poor girl left at home?!

Horsemad · 13/02/2013 09:51

Wonder how old mother is? She looks young as do her parents so maybe she had her daughter young and can't cope.

Passmethecrisps · 13/02/2013 09:51

Oh Crikey she has picked up an awful accent.

Overcooked · 13/02/2013 09:51

It was hardly the 14yolds decision, the decision was come with us or stay here, not come with us or we'll stay here with you - selfish twats, that woman's relationship with her daughter will never recover.

He seems nice but i wonder if he is controlling...

TCforTopCat · 13/02/2013 09:51

So she cares for damaged young people but can't see the damage she is inflicting on her own daughter.

I don't think you have to be a trained nurse to call an ambulance

MrsReiver · 13/02/2013 09:51

DS just said that Scone - he said she sounds ridiculous Grin

I am literally speechless at the selfishness of this woman, there's no pictures of Amy.

Sparklingbrook · 13/02/2013 09:52

She wouldn't even know if her daughter was back in the UK taking drugs.

ScrambledSmegs · 13/02/2013 09:52

I want to hear from the daughter. I bet she wouldn't put such a positive spin on being ABANDONED BY HER MOTHER.

BinarySolo · 13/02/2013 09:52

This reminds me of an acquaintance of mine who lives in India but has left her eldest dc here. He's 10.

Salbertina · 13/02/2013 09:53

Mother is such a narcissist enabled by him- all about her feelings at leaving her daughter not her daughter's. unbelievable!

MrsJREwing · 13/02/2013 09:53

half an hour as a Mum a day.

Lollybrolly · 13/02/2013 09:53

I cannot believe it. Surely if she was that determined to go she should have MADE her dd go with them. Not good but better than "dumping" the poor kid.

Do you think there is a back story - maybe DDs Dad wouldnt approve her leaving the UK because its strange she did not even go on the visit.

Even so - if that was the case they should have stayed UK.

Selfish gits.

Passmethecrisps · 13/02/2013 09:53

She had to call an ambulance and it was really emotional.

Yet she could leave her daughter.

Holy crap she is dead inside

MunchkinsMumof2 · 13/02/2013 09:54

I think it's very telling that Amy didn't say she loved or would miss her Mum, what has happened between them?

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 13/02/2013 09:55

yeah your right, your children have a label here, yep I`d label your daughter as ABANDONED

HolidayArmadillo · 13/02/2013 09:56

She actually couldn't give a shit about her daughter. It's all about 'The Boys'.

hugoagogo · 13/02/2013 09:56

I just fired up my laptop, just to whinge about this awful woman.

BinarySolo · 13/02/2013 09:56

She's sounds more Brummie when she's with her dh

SconeInSixtySeconds · 13/02/2013 09:56

Do you know what makes me even crosser? They have stolen that poor girls brothers as well.

I want to throw stuff at the tele.
