This lot love Disney Land don't they. It must be all the mice, reminds them of the garage of doom.
I wonder would the kids just prefer to be home in the run up to Christmas? The little ones could play in the comfort of their own home rather than on the side of a road somewhere, the older ones could try to build some friendships, but guess Creepy comes first and what he wants he gets, an entire family held hostage by the whims of a fantasist. He's coercively controlling the lot of them and Sarah is too thick and lazy to protect her kids by getting rid of him as then she'd have to get off her considerably sized arse and do something for work.
I`m sure if they could voice their opinions they`d be much happier warm in their own home ,own beds and able to (in the youngest ones case) toddle around when she pleases instead of being stuck ,trapped in a car seat for heaven knows how many hours.Poor little Mila ,the biggest personality in that feral family ,also sat unable to move around ,going from one extreme temp to another ,as an adult ,that would be my idea of absolute misery!! Jace should be racing round a playground ,after a morning in a classroom ,with his friends ,chatting away and truly living his "best" life
..How they ever persuade the elder 3 to go along with whatever their (cough) father decides HE wants i don1t know.Isabelle can`t/won`t voice her thoughts ,and i`m sure Esme and Isla go along for whatever little money is thrown their way now.Esme for sure is pacified with the promise of expensive (hmmm) perfume and make up.Make up which is quite frankly ruining her skin! Same with Isla ,why on earth is she paraded about with bright red lipstick on ,like a 15 year old trying it out for the first time? Only difference is ,with friends she`d have a laugh ,and they`d help one another ,give advice etc.She of all the elder girls loved the educational and social aspect of school but i`m sure was made to feel bad if she had wanted to stay in school.
They`ve failed these kids at every turn.Dragging your children ,and stepchild around and convincing them ,and yourself ,that they`re getting the best education possible ,with freedom (for what??) ,and no restrictions that would happen in a school routine ,just because you`ve wizzed through umpteen countries in x amount of days/weeks ,doesn`t mean they have the world at their feet! You`ve both convinced them that theyr`e "famous" (keep telling you Sarah ,the word`s INFAMOUS ,they haven`t developed real personalities ,even if they did have a platform to make money from now.Your husband has seen to that.
I remember my childhood Christmases ,even up to Esme and Isabelle`s ages.I have wonderful family memories to look back on.The comfort of a real home ,laughing with cousins ,seeing grandparents and Aunts/uncles etc.They were Christmas ,what made it special.I wouldn`t go back and trade it for sleeping in a cold(over heated) Rv ,not for all the Tea in China.

Oh ,that`s the youngest ,who was given (if i remember correctly) the name Aurora belle?? Something or other Ingham ,but who gets called anything her parents choose on a daily basis.The name was supposed to be both significant (because of where they`d travelled (northern lights?) and was "so pretty" according to Sarah ,who can`t recall it anymore.
