yeah, it's not as though she just happened to get a phone call at 7am to let her know that erin had been discharged from physio. nah. she was doomscrolling tattle, and saw people calling her out for encouraging her daughter to study from her bed crouched over a crappy desk, and our concerns about the potential damage that could cause to her neck, and in true babs style - instead of actually acknowledging that this
could be an issue - couldn't resist the urge to share a post aimed directly at tattle as soon as possible. because, HAHA, erin has actually made a miraculous recovery, so it's totally fine for babs to jeopardise her progress and hard work by buying her an inadequate desk in order to save money for a plastic tat haul. she wins, and we totally lose. as does erin, in terms of her privacy, her self-esteem, her confidence and - potentially - her neck injury.
also, the post obvs gave babs the opportunity to flout triple threat's vocal "talent", highlight how proud she is of the golden child - which is not a feeling that extends to ethan - AND to reference people with critically ill children because she totally relates to their daily struggles and fears now that erin's had an op and fully recovered, garnering huge amounts of praise and adoration from the babettes for the fact that she mentioned the families of terminally sick kids - which she literally only did to receive praise, not because she gives a
duck - which she totally undermined by simultaneously rubbing it into their faces how super lucky
she is because erin is fine. bad luck to all those with sick children but, y'know, at least babs relates to your struggles,which i'm sure will bring endless amounts of comfort.
essentially, the whole post was aimed at tattle - babs' own personal content creators - which was manipulated, as always, as. away to receive praise and positive comments. unfortunately, "non" of those comments praised the golden child's singing genius - but hey, who cares about humiliating your daughter when it inflates your ego?!
