One of the problems is she's got no drive. She has earned her money, bought her dream car, bought the big private house so in her eyes there is no need to get up go work etc. Although being a mum should be enough to get her out of bed, get in the kitchen make some healthy meals for her, Alfie and Ottie, take her out to nice places, be present in her daughters life but no she would STILL rather fester in bed watching tv while Alfie does everything with their child. If having a child doesn't give her the kick up the arse she needs NOTHING WILL IMO!
I think when she said she was to become a mum most of us thought she would step up to the plate and also do things like pop Ottie in the car and her and Mark take her out for the day etc but Ottie just seems an inconvenience to her and I hate to see what happens when Ottie is older and she says she doesn't want to watch HP, The Witches, Elf etc with her mum.
