HA!Yes, I do agree. I was thinking that notwithstanding some physical limitations, a parent in her mid-forties is likely to handle a lot of things better than one in her early twenties, by reason of maturity. But if she regresses like this under stress, I'm not so sure. And the contempt expressed chimes with the kicking. I don't think it's a one-off lapse.
I'm not sure jlz....(women late 40s better parents)
Im there.
no way in hells high water I could handle little kids now.
I am in the JBR camp that Patsy was indeed a late 40s having it all ...making it all happen...frazzled and unable to cope in a moment of dire stress....also relating to toileting issues with Jonbenet.
I see very similar going on here....in so many ways.
