'You're always tired'


Dear Lord that is one line I'll never forget. What a little brat!

reply

How is she a brat? When she said that, Victoria sounded rather sad and wistful that her mother couldn't do anything with her. That is not being a brat!!

Hello, she's a child? They are egocentric by nature and it wouldn't have been easy for her.

I do think the character of Victoria is a brat dont get me wrong, esp her behaviour towards CC. But agree with the majority on this one, exclaiming that her mother is always tired doesnt make her a brat. She was sad for her that she didnt get to do things with her.

While I must agree Victoria was a brat in general (how could she not be really, her mom spoiled her rotten), but her reply to her mother here was *typical childspeak*.

I likely would have said the same to my mother, at that age. Like another poster said, kids are selfish by nature.

And Victoria didn't know her mother was sick.
Plus she was both disappointed AND might even have thought it was her mother's fault she was tired (staying up late etc.)

At that time she did not know her mum was sick.

Hillary should have taken that statement as a sign that something was wrong and should have gone to a doctor.

Victoria wasn't a brat she a child who doesn't understand why her mother is so tired.
