Do you think originally Ruby wasn’t invited but then because she was home they felt like they couldn’t leave her at home and not not invite her? Hence why Martha isn’t there either
Idk, the girl sitting next to Ruby is (I believe) Ruby's cousin, I don't see why she'd be invited and not Ruby and MarthaDo you think originally Ruby wasn’t invited but then because she was home they felt like they couldn’t leave her at home and not not invite her? Hence why Martha isn’t there either
That’s what I thought.I guess an explanation could be that martha is the one taking the picture
It's also kinda concerning that her cousins/family friends are pretty much her only friends outside of Blakeney.I get being close with family and cousins but it's like her much younger cousins are her only steady friends. I remember that she was constantly hanging out with the kids of the family merrily during and before uni, whereas most people that age can't be arsed to be a part of the "kids table" anymore. I thought uni and a new environment would mean that she would branch out and find her people. She is clinging to the past so hard, she can't see she's missing out on her today.
this is so sad? marfa bestie my bday is in june clear your schedule and come roundAnother birthday celebration without Martha! Who could've guessed?
It doesn't do Ruby any favours - it seems like Martha is better off without that sort of coddling.Judging by Martha's recent Instagram livestream, she apparently wasn't made aware of the family trip to Devon until after the fact and didn't get invited.
Which seems par for the course - all family events are planned around Ruby, and her parents will happily drive hundreds of miles to chauffeur her around, but Martha has to get the train by herself to and from uni and is mostly an afterthought to her parents.
True, but it makes you wonder how much of Martha's independence is her nature and how much is nurture, and a result of being ignored in favour of her self-absorbed, tantrum-throwing baby of an older sister for her entire life.It doesn't do Ruby any favours - it seems like Martha is better off without that sort of coddling.
Not that it wouldn't still make Martha feel like an afterthought. I wonder if it hurts her feelings, while at the same time being relieved she doesn't get that sort of attention.
