That's what I meant by every compliment from Jared for any little girl they have will have to be followed with the phrase "Just like Mommy". Every time he tells their daughter she looks pretty, he'll have to say "Just like Mommy" Otherwise, Ellie's going to seethe with jealousy. She won't ever have any unqualified compliment.
Saw this gem. WTF does it mean? "When nobody is bugging him, he's independent"? Is that what she's trying to say? Getting ready to push this one out of the way for new Golden Child?
If Ellie is going to create a mini me if she has a daughter she ought to call it Blanche, so she can co star (in the vlogs) opposite Ellie's Bette Davis, vis a vis the movie Baby Jane. @Immom, ref your comment ''She won't ever have any unqualified compliment,'' Ellie is the sort of mother who is only capable of conditional love, when the whole premise of being a parent is centered around the giving of unconditional love.
Ref her making way for the 'Golden Child,' there's no such thing in reality for Ellie. She imagines each new_shiny_thing in her life (it even extends to new little humans) is going to somehow fulfill her and it seems that each time the novelty wears off.
1) Jackson, a baby born after a 'long_IF_journey' who is cute as heck. BUT he's just too darn independent for Ellie's liking, he doesn't 'need' her enough. Disappointing. Must control and suppress him.
2) Planning and constructing a new house. Excitement Excitement. Darn it, that came to an end. Now what?
3) Lot's of lovely shopping and furnishing the new house. Excitement Excitement. Darn it, that came to an end too (except for the 'awesomely appropriate' new rug for under the kitchen table lol). Now what?
4) Penny Penny Penny. YAAAAAAY! I finally got the dog of my childhood dreams. Cue shedding season and spring = Fenced yard for dog_boredom_weary Ellie.
5) Golden Child Miracle Baby Calvin 1.0. Congrats Cal, you made it the longest in Ellie's magpie world - a whole 22 months before novelty addicted and boredom adverse Ellie cracks out the big boy bed and suddenly, the limpet child becomes Jackson 2.0 overnight. Magic Magpie's done it again. Woohoo!. Onto the next shiny_magpie_object: Baby (better be a girl coz girl babies are the shiniest 'objects' of them all, says the mirror on the wall) number three.
So why does Ellie have such a gaping internal void and what caused it to be there?
