This is terribly sad - the 13 year old looked gutted to be taking on the "mother" role.

"We'll never be doctors and the like".

Makes me want to scream.

Half of these are dyslexic?

Hmm

No. That would be because they were taken out of school.

No wonder that poor 13yo hurt her thumb on the combination of Dettol and bleach. She couldn't read the fucking labels

ohmeohmy · 01/02/2011 21:18

cleaning = control

Munaka · 01/02/2011 21:19

The men Katie. Like everything else in their lives

Tommy · 01/02/2011 21:19

oh dear....

pooka · 01/02/2011 21:20

Yay noreen. She's so mature and only just 16.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 01/02/2011 21:20

Feel so sad about the reading and writing Sad

mummyosaurus · 01/02/2011 21:20

Corruptive influences? Feminism?

pooka · 01/02/2011 21:21

Oh dear - I take it back.

ohmeohmy · 01/02/2011 21:21

mmmm cake

CaveMum · 01/02/2011 21:21

The bridesmaid dresses are pretty eame compared to others we've seen.

Katiekitty · 01/02/2011 21:22

Munaka yes, strange that, isn't it?
I wonder what the men are afraid of?

CaveMum · 01/02/2011 21:23

"eame" = tame

Poor Margaret Sad

deemented · 01/02/2011 21:23

Where are the mothers in all this?

mummyosaurus · 01/02/2011 21:24

Poor Margaret.

Katiekitty · 01/02/2011 21:24

How old is Lizzie's husband, any guesses?

pooka · 01/02/2011 21:24

Where is her mother???

Normantebbit · 01/02/2011 21:25

OMG what a life. It's no fun being a traveller woman.

Gargleswithjelly · 01/02/2011 21:25

Yeah what is the mum doing all day?

theywillgrowup · 01/02/2011 21:25

pooka asked the same ???? no answer as yet

Hassled · 01/02/2011 21:26

This is heartbreaking, isn't it? That poor girl.

Munaka · 01/02/2011 21:26

Poor Margaret.

No alcohol for unmarried women - another control issue.

I love the irony that they remove the girls from school to get them away from any corrupting influences.

This obviously doesn't include them learning to dance like strippers by watching music videos.

LADYBOAK · 01/02/2011 21:26

its all too sad

Katiekitty · 01/02/2011 21:26

I reckon the mothers are just being kept out of this episode, so we see the normal day to day stuff of the young teenage gypsy girl

No idea where the mothers might be, presuming they have their own caravan/trailer to clean

megapixels · 01/02/2011 21:27

I was wondering about the mother as well. No sign or mention of her.
