The Archers - Is Nic really a bad mum?!

[hollyhobbie]

...The thing is, I've done all those things to DD: dragged her along when she refuses to walk, forced her into a pushchair when she's having a tantrum, put her in her room when she's having (another) tantrum.

ah but you are not in ambridge where everyone is awful. also it isn't her child.

I'm not in Ambridge - Phew!

Must admit, I've bitten my lip and gone pink a few times listening to the Archers lately.

Nic must feel like she has wandered into Stepford.

bumping this for the evening crowd

She'll have George sweeping out the hearth and not letting him go to the ball next. Ed will have to play fairy godmother

A child-free friend asked me this the other day.
Of course the scriptwriters will have some nefarious gubbins in store for her, but in an isolated location with little money & no car; er, doh ...

Sorry, that should have read: looking after 3 pre-schoolers in an isolated location etc etc
