I remember when Erin turned 10, Emma was referring to her as a “tween” and doing tweeny things with her. Erm, Ethan is 10 in January yet apparently he’s still a little boy who needs a Disney themed bedroom, is too scared to go on the rides at Disney and gets tired so has to be back at hotels by 7pm.
Also, whilst I’m on the subject of Ethan’s bedroom, when they first moved into this new house Emma was wanging on about him loving Harry Potter. Was he forced to have a Disney bedroom for content? Because that doesn’t seem like something a nine year old boy would want. Aren’t they mostly into Marvel, HP, Minecraft etc?
ethan
did have a Harry Potter bedroom! he was a huge fan of HP, years before the books were deemed "age appropriate" for either him or his toddler sister! it was babs who decided that erin was such a huge disney fan that she was going to redecorate his bedroom with a disney theme - coinciding with her own "dream" of decorating a disney-themed bedroom. she didn't even do it properly - it was her usual slap-dash rush of shoving toy story toys on the window sill and mickey mouse stickers on the walls, which he then had to act surprised and delighted by as he entered the room, and thank her repeatedly for content. as proven by her recent trip to WDW, ethan still adores HP - but he is forced to have a toddler themed bedroom, simply because babs wanted disney content.
and it seems even worse that he
had a bedroom decorated in a theme that appealed to him, only to be forced to deal with babs' demands she redecorate or he'd have to deal with her tantrum. she literally dedicates her entire dining room to disney themed decorations at christmas - she will undoubtedly be dragging out that huge christmas mickey statue later this week - including a whole seperate tree for their disney tat decorations. you'd think that would be enough for babs. but no, she has to take her "disney is my whole personality" one step further, and enforce the theme upon her son, without considering his preferences and whether he wants to be encased within a real-life toy story movie from 6.30pm each evening, simply because it fulfied her own dream and allowed her to film a vlog. if she loves disney so much, why didn't she decorate her own bedroom in a disney theme? after all, it's
her room - steve doesn't sleep there!
