I must have missed the happy birthday on her story, TBF I glanced, Izzy grates on me, some don't like Esme for how hyper she is, for me it's Izzy for the "hummms," and "cute," for someone who claims to read she has a very limited vocabulary. I just saw another girl in her story, and know normally if it's been mentioned here, about not seeing friends/boyfriend, going out etc, normally within a few days, miraculously it happens.
Like Isla with her "playdate" it's insulting the poor girl, will do everything she can to curry favour and get attention from her mother, when she gave her mother the water bottle, she's crying out for attention, she gets none. While mother dearest is busy sorting clothes out so she can go on a mass shopping spree, the kids are what? Certainly not doing schooling, Mila was obviously playing in her bedroom, which seemed to bother lazy, Izzy is apparently lighting candles and tiding her room, Esme crocheting hats. Isla is left to wander, in fact all the kids are ignored. Why not have her help, I'm sorry but while at home those kids life must be so utterly boring. They have nothing to do. Nowhere to go, it's no wonder Isla's been caught looking as if she talks to herself, because I'd say most of the time those kids are ignored. Esme is lucky as she has a hobby. Jace gets brought something every time his mother sets foot outside the door, but the others, nothing. It has to be a very lonely existence.
