She doesn't say no and panders to her cos she is a lazy arse parent... its easier to say yes and let them get on with it than it is to battle with them over food, discipline etc...Nooo definitely not! Got a nasty sly streak there.. Like it's mother! Actually it's odd that Sev does pander to her re her food etc and doesn't say no to her considering as she is so controlling with everything else. But i wonder what goes on off camera!!
These people think it make them a great parent, who loves their children... but sorry, its the contrary... it isn't great parenting to let them grow up thinking they call the shots, its doesn't set them up for the real world...can you imagine Freddie at high school... she will have the do ripped out of her, all because of that excuse of a mother... when she gets to the work environment she won't last 5 minutes with a boss let alone her colleagues!!!
My children used to think I was the devil incarnate when they were young/teenagers... have actually admitted they thought my main aim in life was to piss on their thunder at all turns... they certainly think different now they have grown up and got on well in the work place and have children of their own and they parent in a similar way to myself ... Both my 2 have done well for themselves... one run his own business and the other a Non exec Director in his industry... whilst I am super proud of them and give them a huge pat on the back for their achievments... I also take a little credit for the way I have bought hem up and taught them the life skills they have needed to get where they are today!
