Who’s to Blame?
While it’s not easy being a single parent and a full-time working mother, admittedly, kids have a hard time understanding such social nuances. In Marie’s case, she might have felt let down by her mother just when she needed her to fill the void left behind by her father.
Vicki pointed out that while single parents who employ nannies to care for their children and look after health are not ‘abandoning’ their kids, it is understandable if Marie felt that her mother let her down. Was Bridget’s handling of the whole situation to blame and not her daughter?
