Can’t imagine being in Brett’s position. I think him and Charlotte, do earn well and obviously it makes sense to plan to buy property, renting is dead money. That said, they’re now renting in not a particularly nice area; albeit cheaper, I do hear it’s pretty rough. I appreciate it’s nice to be nearer Harlow, close to her school and to have a garden for the summer.
And realistically for Brett as a parent with shared custody it must be hard to plan your future and where you’re going to live based on your exes rushed decisions. Charlie can’t cope with the commitment of a puppy, kitten or even a pram. It wasn’t that long ago she outright said she was leaving with Harlow for Portsmouth.
