Mm I can recognise the symptoms of lack of love and want for appreciation. The only problems with Charlotte are that 1. She doesn’t like to work, but she’s still there because it’s the palace; and 2. She is the kind of person to eliminate the competence to rise high.
Not bad qualities per se, but if the genre was for Charlotte.
But it’s not. We see her as a bad character. She just needs understanding and love from her aunt, real one, and appreciation from her peers too; and she needs to work and get better at it. She needs to be more compassionate on her job, because she’s a maid. And she has to stop picking on the heroine, because she’s the heroine.
In these kinds of situation too, people tend to side with the younger one. So Charlotte needs to realise that and warm up to her (she has to say sorry I think but just for the sake of charlotte’s peace) and maybe then she won’t be fired.











My Mildred.
Iris was just feeling a bit insecure and from that growing resentful. Remember that every single time she has to be put aside for Ashley to take the shine. That’s not fair. Especially since she’s the eldest of the trio. And that fact just adds to the whole thing: as she’s the eldest, she has to be asked to dance first. And every single time, she was asked out of pity for her looks, because everyone wanted to dance with Ashley. Sure she feels sad about that fact, but it’s something Irids has to deal on and will deal on for the rest of her life, and she just needed support from idk her own mother. ( ̄へ ̄)
In this lifetime you have had already enough time to be a mother so pls act a bit more like that Mildred and don’t focus too much on Ashley. Baby-ing her and fusing over here mistakes won’t make her solve them. Guide her. Teach her. But she’s not a baby.
Wasn't Lily the oldest daughter. Aside from that I don't think I've read a single chapter where Milred treated one kid more special than the other. She never baby-ed Ashley but always tried to teach her. Ashley is not a baby but she grew up rich and never had to do any chores. So all of this is new to her. But she is still open to learning. Never every dislike a person just because they are clumsy or clueless. See the intentions behind their actions.Dont be heartless. Milred became a mother to all of them the moment she married Fred. Blood alone doesn't define family.
Miss girl bye- I mean I get what ur trying to say but do you have any idea how hard it is to take care of 3 children Mildred is trying her best and you have to remember this is all new to Ashley it’s not her fault that she’s clueless n innocent it’s just her father barely ever paid enough attention to her she barely had chances to learn so Mildred is trying to teach her because she needs it most right now and she’s not trying to neglect her daughters ya know
Sorry but I’m not disliking Ashley. She’s clumsy and that’s ok it’s funny most times. But every single time she gets something bad it’s brushed. One day she’s going to do something that can’t be brushed and to a person who won’t be so forgiving. But it’s ok bc Ashley is pretty and people will forgive her for it right? That’s not ok. Mildred has to be cautious of Ashley taking that path. Just in case.
Mildred is not neglecting them, instead it shows how much she trusts them. The problem is that with trust sometimes comes distance. If you notice Lily always looks when her mother is talking with her other sisters and you can see she wants to talk to her too but she accepts it. This is not ok too. If she were to have a breakdown like Iris, then we’d be hearing how she doesn’t like it but she’d just be showing how much she misses Mildred’s attention.
So yeah family’s complicated
Yes on the Ashley part ur right but that’s literally why Mildred is trying to teach Ashley tho. think of this as an example here a mother with 3 children that she’s trying to raise. 2 of them are a little older than the youngest one who doesn’t know anything yet. it’s the mother’s priority to teach that little kid who doesn’t know as much as the rest yet, so the mother has to give the youngest child a little more help then the 2 oldest ones start feeling neglected a little but the mother doesn’t know because she’s trying to help the one who needs it most right now all I’m saying is that being a mother raising 3 kids on your own is really hard and you shouldn’t blame Mildred for everything because she’s trying her best here. What would you do if you were the mother in that situation?
I’d make a system that makes all of them be conscious of one another and be raised properly. She’s halfway on it. Ashley with Lily who is closer to her age is the first step. Ashley just has to copy what Lily does and Mildred has to supervise that Lily teaches her well and there’s no abuse of power. It’s the same system used in big families. Oldest teaches youngest. Mildred doesn’t have to work a full eight hour time too, she’s present a lot in their lives. In the end, when the youngest is lacking, it’s true that parents help them. But there’s a catch:
Iris can help.
Iris doesn’t hate Ashley. Instead, before it is shown that Iris actually cares for Ashley and is very responsable as a person. She takes her job very seriously, like when she met the prince. And that’s that: caring for her younger sisters is part in her job: and she’s fine with it.
The problem was that Mildred is still focused on Ashley because in her mind she’s still the protagonist and she wants to make sure she and her daughters don’t end up like in the novel so she’s trying far and beyond. But to be fair, in families that don’t put a child over the other, it’s mostly because they let their siblings help.
In very big families, parents are something as an omnipresent presence that is around and smiled and cares for them but who is there constantly are the people around you: your siblings. Sometimes some children consider their oldest siblings as their parental figures, but that is on different cases
I believe the key to parenthood is impartiality
That actually sounds like a good system that would work but Mildred can’t see that right now. all I was saying was that she’s was trying her best to act like a mother. She was giving Ashley some attention because she was trying to sympathize w her situation. She’s trying to do what she thinks is right. Sometimes it’s hard to think about others perspectives so when she was paying attention to Ashley she didn’t think that the others would feel neglected. this is the first time being a mother remember that she got reincarnated. Who knows how old she was before she reincarnated to the story. Maybe it says sum in the novel if there is one but I haven’t read it. All I’m saying here is how I’m trying to see from her POV
You’re right Mildred is still trying her best. I just got a bit irked at how she was responding to Iris, but she’s still a good mother. She tries to do well for her children. I’m just gonna wait until she realises that the novel has changed and see how she responds to that.
Also I’m rooting for Irisx crown prince (cuz they’re so cute and how he wants to dance w her? So cute) and for her to notice how the baron is showing interest
I get how iris feels sometimes I feel like that in my family but then I remember that there trying that’s why I sympathized with mildred
OMG YESS IRIS N THE CROWN PRINCE IM WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN
YESSS I mean they’re just adorable! I can’t wait to see Iris’s face when he asks for a dance or reveals his identity!!
Sameeee
