    I get the feeling that Tracy didn't have many friends when she was younger so she's treating her kids like they're her best friends. Like ain't no mother going to go to the club with her children.

      I go to the club with my adult sons and their friends. They actually let me know when shows are happening and ask me to go. We aren't co dependent we just enjoy some of the same music. When they were young I introduced them to music and as they got older they introduced me to music. We don't drink alcohol so it's not like they need me to drive them home. We just have a unique relationship. I also look young enough that most people think we are brothers and sister or a couple when we are out in public. One of my sons is married and I adore his wife who is about to have my first grandchild.

      Now Tracy on the other hand needs to learn to let go and let her children grow up. She definitely doesn't take care of herself enough and needs some hobbies outside of her children.

      Oh, sure, blame everything on the mother. He’s a grown man who proudly talked about convincing his sisters to look after him and wrote off instances when they didn’t “cooperate” as due to mood swings rather than the fact that he ought to look after himself. And this despite a clear example of a man pulling his weight in his father. With or without his mother his poor girlfriend had a rough road ahead if that was his attitude.

      Came here to suggest that. When you have a big family especially you need to have rules and structure to keep it all together.

    She has NO friends & NO family outside her hubby & kids.
    It's like she doesn't want to grow up---just be with her over- supervised kids.
    The kids will NEVER understand how other people feel about friends & ourside activities.

  • @ParantapSharma
    @ParantapSharma 7 лет назад +15

    people commenting about the mom of 12 being a control freak might be true. But I feel those children are more closely knit internally than the charles family and they will feel much bad if ever they fly away. It will be a two sided thing, not just a one sided, like his parents feeling bad about him leaving, without him caring much, and his parents preparing food and snacks for the party while all relaxing in separate rooms and some of them not even showing up for dinner. Don't know, but home schooling parenting style is not at all bad if it brings all the family at an equal level where everybody is contributing and caring for each other.
