I'm low-key pissed because Mildred treats Ashley presuming she will have a fairy on her side while the fact the fairy helped Cinderella in the original story was because she was mistreated by her stephmother. Now that Mildred is treating her preciously I believe she should start thinking that thibgs may go differently and not try to push Ashley on the prince a priori
Also I believe when you're talking to someone else's daughter it's always easier to remain more neutral and try to understand her point of view. Like, from personal experience, I can really talk to adults I get along with but with my mother it's an absolute mess, and me myself I can talk more objectively to my friends' mothers.
I think Mildred is right, she put a lot of attention on Ashley but it's because Ashley need a lot of attention as she was never taught anything.
While Iris feelings are reasonable and Mildred need to spend a little more time cuddling with her daughters it doesn't mean any of the 3 have to get less love than the others.
I think the root of the problem is Mildred being so focused on Ashley because she is Cinderella. As for Iris she's just sulking like any child would when they get a new sibling, she need time to adjust to the new relationship.
I totally agree
Yep yep. Our current Mildred change too quickly after the "death" of the real Mildred. If I'm her child I'll probably get flustered too. Luckily Iris is still reasonable and still want to listen to her mother. It surely will take a while for her to be fully open and accepting Ashley, but seeing as they are indeed teens it's reasonable
I get that people are mad bcs indeed Mildred is focusing a bit too much on ashley having a fairy and will be the princess consort or whatever, but you all forgot why she was so focused in the first place. Since the only 1 out of 3 that she is "sure" of the story is Ashley. She wanted all her daughters to be happy, with a good marriage that will able to ensure their life. Mildred thinks that if the fairy do exist, and if Ashley ended up getting with the prince, it will somehoe help her other daughters in the high society as well.
Because the tittle of the story is "I treated cinderella preciously", you all are so focused on Mildred focusing on Ashley. But you guys forgot that Mildred too often thinks about Iris. Like how she thought the other dude (lol sorry i forgot his name) is aiming for Iris, and how Mildred is so focused if it's okay to let that man be with Iris to the point she missed that the man is "targeting" her and not her kids.
I think Mildred is a great mother. No mother is perfect. A mother's job is hard, and making small mistakes that one failed to realize is normal. What is great about Mildred is that she is willing ti listen to her kids and realized her mistakes while quickly and calmly thinking of a solution
That is because you go though a lot less with them compared you and your mother. Your mother actually considers a lot of things for you. Even though it may seems unreasonable and hars in your eyes, you never kniw what your mother thinks. Mothers usually think of themselves highly, and they don't want their children tk know their struggles, that's why it's is kind of difficult to talk to your own mother than your friend's. Because with your friend's mother, you don't exactly talk about your future or things important in your life.
Yassss, periodt
Yizz I agree with you too, but I still think she should love them equally or iris will carry this rage until she becomes an adult
Ohh yes I feel that too
I guess she is trying but it's harder to do than we think ┗( T﹏T )┛
With no money, all time spent on finding food and clothes for her daughters, maybe she just needs a bit help
Sadly, yes...
Seriously.
Irl mothers would just add oil to the fire sometimes.
Mildred, with little to none experience, is able to handle this calmly with the best possible answer.
I don't know whose side I'm on. Because, in one hand if I'm Iris, I'd probably be sulky too if my mother is more caring to an "adopted" child whose father left us poor. But on another hand, compared to Iris and Lily, Ashley isn't that talented, nor good at anything. She was left alone since 5 years old, basically a lot child.
I agree with Mildred. Ashley needs someone for her as well. But maybe Mildred needs to be more doting on her real children for a while, and then stopping little by little. As it was mentioned, before our MC became Mildred, the old Mildred used to still treat Ashley badly, if I were Lily and Ashley I would be shocked by the sudden change as well. Teens have unstable emotions you know (￣∇￣")
