I have been thinking about it this week. Mumma Snooks seems like the sweetest woman but these "care packages" are bad for Katie in a long run. She could spend the money on a few therapy sessions for Katie, or they could go out for a walk together etc. I bet she doesn't have to send cookies and coffees to Kathleen's sister.
I think that the mollycoddling Kathleen has been been experiencing her entire life has attributed to her spoilt brat adult character that she is now.
Maybe her Ex Andrew wasn’t accustomed to marrying a woman child who needs to be handled like a fragile flower every min of the day. He may well have been a gaslighter and emotionally abusive, but Kathleen seems like the partner from hell in her own right.
let’s look at some examples of Kathleen being enabled by family/friends (that I remember, pls feel free to add to this analysis:
- when she broke up with Andrew, her entire family went and got matching tattoos as her one to ‘change the meaning of the tattoo’ that Kathy got? I mean yeah it’s cute having ur fam do that, but can she literally not heal or disassociate with a negative experience without dragging ur entire family into the experience to get needless permanent body art?
- whenever Kathy is feeling sad, mother snooks will deliveroo a coffee & pastry/cake to Thumbeleen to make her feel better. Once or twice is cute. But I’ve seen this several times now. It’s teaching kathleen to eat her feelings instead of addressing them head on. Material gifts used as medicating tool?
- this one bugs me the most. Remember when someone from the snooks clan (looking at u Theresa Snooks) came on here to reveal the true reason around Kathy’s wedding drama? (Kidgate)
Thinking about it now, I would say that both parties were in the wrong, and it was wholly ignorant for Kathy to not expect a negative reaction to the child boycott on the wedding.
if you’re gonna have a child free wedding, then make it a no exception rule. She had her niece & husbands best man’s child to attend only at first. Then she accommodated her cousin to bring their child, then hell broke loose when the rest of the family found out this was an option. Then in a panic she offered to PAY for a HOTEL ROOM & SITTER for parents who’s kids weren’t invited. I mean that literally says (as someone pointed out) “
I don’t want your children to attend my wedding so badly that I’m gonna go to all these extreme lengths to not have them there”
This entire debacle could have been avoided if she had
- just kept a complete child free wedding. Genie & other chosen children included
- if family declined to come, instead of licking ass in the hope of filling seats at the most exclusive wedding of the century, she should have just graciously accepted the declination & have held a family get together after the wedding for those with children.
I did feel empathy for kathleen at first, but this situation was disastrously orchestrated by Snooksy herself. The enabling comes in when instead of saying to Kathy, look you fucked up here’s what we can do to remedy this, her family decided to be Team Kathy, and cut ties with the entire side of the family who boycotted the wedding. And mother snooks still lingering and fighting her 34year old daughters case on random internet forums.
- Geoffston Snookchill is literally her adult guardian. There is no denying this. Building a duvet fort every time she’s feeling down/unwell/pms. Enabling her brattish petulant behaviour, at one point fighting her internet critics by trying to be clever in the comments.
- Remember when Kuck Snooklund was a castaway in Scotland when her plane was delayed? And the disastrous chain of events that followed? Mother snooks & father Geoff on hand providing moral support over the phone every step of the way until she got home
3 years later later that evening.
Maybe I feel so passionately frustrated at her behaviour, without exposing myself, having known her in her younger years, and still recognising her neediness, having her suck the energy out of her friends/acquaintances in order to cater to all her needs, her throwing strops & tantrums and going to report anything she doesn’t agree with to teachers/her parents with the foot stamping is still rampant today as it was back then.
