i'm sure that babs fully intends to enforce a "homebody' rouine on both whether they like it or not - likely with the usual tactics of emotional blackmail she uses on Ethan at Disney, guilt-tripping them and trying to make them feel bad for leaving mummy to watch SATC all alone, boo hoo - with their social activities limited to day-time "play dates" - from which they must be back at the hobbit house by 5pm for their beige evening meal - and even when they are in their late teen years - planning to impose a boundary where they must seek prior permission from the grellow controller to be permitted to go out alone to meet friends - in the same way that babs introduced a rule where even during school holidays and at the weekend, Ezzie has to ask for babs for consent to be allowed to stay in bed and sleep past 7.30am, regardless of ether they have plans for the next day that she needs. to be up for!
it is simply another way for babs to exert control over her daughter's life and prevent her from doing totally aly normal teenage things like sleeping in til moon! she'll already have decide to impose a strict curfew that the kids MUST abide by, even in their later teen years - they MUST be home by 8.30pm at the aPsolute latest, so as not to disturb her toddler bedtime routine, and failure to do so will result in a dramatic "mummy meltdown" and babs not allowing them their weekly reward box tat treat.
i guarantee that the more control she attempts to exert over their lives, the more they will rebel against her - and once Erin starts defying babs' toddler-appropriate rules - starting with the 6.30pm bedroom banishment and phone confiscation because babs feels threatened by Erin being in content with friends with interactions she can't monitor as they aren't during "play dates" that she stye da, or organised trips for Ez and her friends to go to the cinema or shopping or Costa, which babs insists on accompanying them, and sitting at a separate table within hearing distance of their table so she can pretend to be scrolling IG, yet listening to all the goss that she knows Erin won't share with her as it is non of her business and she can't bear the thought of MY girl having friends that aren't HER.
she is terrified of Erin having friends that aren't HER, because to her the golden child is her bestie, her mini me and ultimately a extension of herself - a possession that SHE believes she has the right to control, because SHE created her, thus the Es are HER belongings not an individuals. she intentionally stunts the development of their independence - remember Erin was 11 when she was finally deemed old enough to be taught how to use the kettle and toaster, and it was only a few months prior that she was allowed to pour her own cereal into her toddler plastic bowl!- because if the Es don't rely on her to do stuff for them, they will want to do stuff with their friends, and not spend all their time with her - she wants to be the centre of their universe, as she is her own.
once Essie starts to rebel against her excessive control and defy her rules, I doubt it will be long before Ethan follows in her footsteps - I can't wait til they finally stand up to her and tell her to duck off when she tries to drag them off to Disney on a content holiday to pose with teenagers dressed in animal costumes while she squeals in the background. she is so convinced that both the kids love and adore her HARD that I don't think she can even contemplate that the control she exerts over the kids, with her domineering and aggressiv, body personality, she is far more likely to push the Es away from her as they grow up - and potentially completely destroy their relationship to the point that they exclude her from their lives. and I, for one, am aPsolutely here for the drama!
I concur. Babs is going to have a serious case of FOMO when Erin is at University (I don't doubt this will happen, Babs will push the F. out of it for both kids to attend Uni). If she thinks she has anxiety now, she's in for a treat when Erin has her own social life that Babs has no control over. It will drive her nuts and she'll regress even further into her youth, looking even more pathetic
I say Erin, because sadly we all know that the same jealousy and FOMO won't be extended to Ethan
ETA.,, Can you imagine how unhinged she's going to be when Erin hits the Uni Nightclubbing stage of her life?

🛍 won't judge and secondly she really needs to realise that others go through far more than having to bung a few cheap teddies into the bin .
I can relate. This is why she has angered me so much over the past couple of days.
