okay, so i know this is a very delayed response, but i finally caught up on the Butlins vlog and i'm not surprised that babs left her elderly parents to move house by themselves and prioritised badly dying her hair over helping them, given that she arrived at butlins and immediately launched into filming a room tour - the usual boring "there's a TV....two beds...a plug socket" essentially listing everything that exists in any basic bedroom - mentioning that grandad rog is in a wheelchair, so babs has left them to get him to his room! what the actual
duck?! i'm assuming by "them" she meant wet san and 🪜 - or potentially hotel staff? - but babs undoubtedly used having to entertain the toddlers an an excuse to disappear off to the room and avoid helping her parents. lazy cow doesn't know how lucky she is.
and the way she mockingly asked erin to show off the contents of her multiple make-up bags, talking to her in the scathing manner she usually saves for ethan. and then, when erin begins showing off her body sprays, babs hurries her along demanding she only show the best ones. pretty bold of babs to role her eyes at the way her tween daughter has packed loads of accessories and make up etc for a three day holiday, given she lives with babs the hoarder! and as for the multiple body sprays, she's probably grown up with an innate fear of ever smelling like babs, and compensates with excessive application of scented sprays! it says far more about her lack of self confidence than anything - the unexpectedly self conscious daughter of such a "body confident" role model of a mother!
and that segment of the vlog where erin is filming at the arcade - urgh. it's awful to see the way she mimics babs - especially in the way she speaks to ethan, ending her vlogging by shoving the camera in ehr brother's face and saying "say bye to the people!" sadly, she is a product of her upbringing and shows so many traits of her narcissistic, controlling mother.
