Because what she really means is that the adoration- genuine or otherwise- from 130,000 followers validates her sad existence with the constant stream of attention. Finally, at the head of her Babette Army, Emma can kid herself that she is inspiring, funny, popular, and beloved. Everytime those feelings begine to wane, and she remembers she's actually just a middle aged mum, with no actual talent, exploiting her kids, she just pops another pity post up and the Babettes flock to remind her how wonderful she is.
Her family cannot fulfill this for Babatha, because sometimes, shockingly, THEY have the nerve to talk about Minecraft which she isn't interested in!!!
The genuine rage on her face because Ste and the kids like Minecraft, and the fact that she goes and sulks whenever they play it together, says absolutely everything you need to know about how things work in that house. I'm amazed the 3 of them have managed to cling onto Minecraft and that Babs hasn't stamped it the
duck out, like she seems to do with anything that doesn't focus attention on or interest her. Ditto that the entire family "compromises" and does/watches whatever she wants to watch. Guess what Babs? If you don't like watching cartoons with you 8 and 10 year old...you, er, don't have to! You can leave them to watch, and go and do something really important like organise you mug cupboard, post a pic of you in swimwear, do your "werk", search in your many many boxes of crap for the remaining shreds of your self resect...
Love when she states that she "doesn't mind" something or something is "fine", because we all know it is NOT fine and she minds very much
