I wonder how long it will before before she ends up as troubled as her sister. And as for the book her mother is working on, I am sure I will rush off and buy a copy of this one. She can’t even take control of her own children and she is writing a book about parenting. The problem came when she tried to be her daughter’s friend instead of being their mother and beating their butt for wrong doings.
