Mary Anne and Miss Priss! Part The End!

[road_baby]

Greetings, my lovelies! How is everyone doing? I can't believe I got this up in a good time but well...my Sims crashed. So, I took that as a sign that I shouldn't be playing games and should get snarking. And good lord, is this book depressing. I swear to God that Ann's only talent is taking perfectly innocuous characters and turning them into

Mrs P shows that she's an asshole by saying she knows that Jenny has been having a problem with Andrea getting a lot of attention but doesn't know what to do about it.

Talk to your kid and give her some attention. PROBLEM SOLVED, BITCH.

Ann thinks so little of parents that it makes me uncomfortable sometimes.

She says she could cut back on some of Andrea's jobs but she doesn't want to.

They don't rely on Andrea's jobs for financial support. There's no reason not to cut back. If you're going to so many auditions and jobs that you literally have no time for your other child, then the baby is being worked too hard.

Mrs. P is doing this because she likes the attention for herself.

When Mary Anne suggests she have someone sit for Andrea while she has some mother/daughter time with Jenny, she says she's too busy. She's too busy.

I feel for Andrea here too. Mrs. P. never has time for Jenny because she's off at auditions with a baby. How tired must that baby be?

If you don't have time to spend with your kids, you shouldn't have kids!

Did you hear that the Duggars hire live-in help now because their eldest daughters, aside from Jana, are married, and they still have eight minors? Some of those minors are teenagers but still. I can't get over how they literally are so reluctant to spend time with their kids that they hire other people to move in and do it for them.

Who's lazier and more neglectful? Mrs P or the Pikes?

I sat here and tried to figure it out. They're all neglectful and lazy, but who is worse? Mrs. P. can't balance two kids and is cruel because she won't even try. The Pikes didn't stop having kids until they had too many. Both moms are stay-at-home moms who can't find time to spend with their little kids. The dads don't care.

Mr P. He hugs Jenny and asks how the shoot went which she's not very interested in and asks him if he wants to go with her to the game. He says he will so it's nice that one of her parents can make time for her.

Why has he been neglecting her the rest of this book?

Mary Anne is happy everything worked out for everyone

No, it didn't. Jenny's situation hasn't changed. Just because she's on cloud 9 and playing kickball on the day she got a little attention doesn't mean anything has changed. Her mom is still ignoring her.
