Did anyone else see this docu on BBC3?
If you didn't it's on iPlayer now: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...m_Baby_and_Me/

It's a sequel to another one done 2 years ago where they largely argue about whether or not the girl is going to be academic or basically follow in her Mother's footsteps.
As if that wasn't bad enough, this time there's another baby and the poor 16 year old kid is stuck with it. :/

I can see her Mother's good intentions... Sometimes. But how can it not be blindingly obvious that she's not making things easy? It's quite a step from not allowing your child out to then hosting a pimps and hoes party and attending it with your daughter's friends!

Thoughts?

That mother needs to grow the **** up and realise it's not all about her anymore.

My parents would move whole mountain ranges for me to sit my mock exams.

I thought she was very childish. She was like "Fine I'll cancel it" about the trip to America to see if the kid would go "no no it's fine" and when it backfired she was like "are you sure? I will cancel it, are you sure?" and then didn't cancel it and got her own way anyway. :/ I get that the girl loves her Mother and her Mum did have some reasonable morals but overall I felt sorry for the way the daughter has had to live.

The womans a glamour model yet shes not even hot . But anyway, I have to help my mum alot as I am the oldest and have 5 younger siblings its not a big deal.

And then the mother acted like the boss when her 16 year old daughter is the only one who acts like an adult.

She does love her mother but I think she feels a bit suffocated. If I was her, I'd probably be on my way out.

So your parents drag you over to America to take care of your siblings, making you miss your mock while they get more surgery?

I didn't watch it-I saw a programme about her on Living TV (I think) last year and nearly threw something at the telly, I can't stand her.
Last year she started crying when her oldest wouldn't dance for the camera. Oldest daughter wouldn't do it- shy, didn't want to be famous and mother wasn't having any of it.

After watching a few mins of this prog, I started to question the definition of "glamour" they must be using.

LMAO What a stupid woman!

She's really mature for her age. I could take care of babies too at that age because my cousins see me as the full time unpaid nanny of their children but it never interfered with my schooling and I always put my foot down if needed.

Georgia seriously needs to put some sense into her mother.

[SmallTownGirl]

I didn't understand that she thought her daughter was trustworthy enough to look after a baby while she was having cosmetic surgery but not trustworthy enough to be outside after 6pm...

[paniking_and_not_revising]

She called her daughter a "proper whore" and then said "well done"

Just wow.

[GdotL]

Yeah I feel sorry for her having a mother like that - she's coped so well. Although..I'm surprised at how innocent the 16 year old is. I don't really know of any older teenagers that behave like her (no drinking/no boys/geeky friends/responsible) these days!

[Bibs_x]

I watched this last night. The glamour model mum really pissed me off. She basically never let her daughter go out with her friends, then caused her to miss school so they could fly to America for her plastic surgery - and the daughter's grades ended up suffering because of that. What a selfish **** Also, its clear the mum didn't want to care a lot for her new baby when she always left it with her older daughter.

[Kitsy]

That programme just really annoyed me, Alicia is so selfish - dragging her daughter away from mock AS level exams to go get more surgery and then leave her for hours looking after her baby, let alone when she went out clubbing and not allowing her to see her friends! although the daughter is very well behaved wouldn't surprise me if she were to rebel! The snide remarks from Alicia are so childish as well! grrr!

[LeaX]

The Mum is pathetic. Desperately clinging onto her daughter because she knows that she wouldn't be able to cope with the baby on her own.

[tpxvs]

This really really really ground my gears. At first I couldnt help wanting to slap the mum. But towards the end it just made me really upset. Poor, poor, Georgia. I felt like i wanted to take her under my wing!! Im only a couple years older but nobody deserves parenting like that. She has done so so well for herself though, but you cant help but think shed be a better person had her mother not been in the way. I can understand why she doesnt move out and loves her mum etc.. its just really sad. On a brighter note, at least the newborn has Georgia!!

Also, how does alicia afford everything?! car for her 17 year old, all that baby stuff, flights to the states etc.. really hope us tax payers money is not going towards this!!!

What kind of parent would name their baby Papaya?? Poor baby

As a glamour model they get huge amounts of money from photoshoots and among other things appearances etc. She probably makes more from a topless job in a day many people make in a year Hence that Peugeot 206 is probably pocket-change for her.

Arhh thats annoying. No wonder it appeals to some then..

[skunky x]

This grinds me so much. Watching to the end only because I finish what I start.

So. Frustrating. THE HYPOCRISY.

I thought I misheard this at first. That kid's full name as well - Papaya Coco Piri or something like that. Poor kid.


I agree with a lot of what has been said. Fair enough you don't want your kid to be like you, but letting them go play xbox is probably okay.

Have to give a lot of credit to Georgia - she seems incredibly well adjusted considering.
