mcctrish I‘m fuming that #techttully got to keep his chair but the teapots are gone 1d

Leftcoastzen It is a sad state to be in . Their lives dissembled, Tully so out of it . Yes , no teapots , he gets the chair . 1d

Bookwormjillk Someone needs to get those teapots back 1d

julieclair @mcctrish I was hoping she was going to hide one of the teapots so it couldn‘t be sold. Like bury it in the garden or something. 2h

mcctrish This family is a toxic dump 4d

Bookwormjillk I can see not wanting to bail them out with money- they seem bad at that. But give the kid a job for Pete‘s sake! 4d

Clare-Dragonfly They are all so mean! I wish it had occurred to Tom to mention that he‘s good at drawing, especially things like buildings. I bet that could get him a good start. 4d

Leftcoastzen Much better to have less family than a family like this ! Poor Tom trying to do what he can while listening to Uncle belittling his education. 4d

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - I felt the same way! I get that you don't want to hand a pile of money to people who have proven that they aren't going to use it wisely, but Tom is genuinely trying to make good and start providing for his mom and sister, and I thought it was dreadful the way his uncle just blew him off. 3d

ElizaMarie This chapter felt very current to me. It's like kiddos get an education and then can't get a job with their education. I know it's not the same, but it got me thinking about how some college courses/majors do not translate to the working world. I feel so bad for Tom - also this #TheirFamilySucks ! 3d

ElizaMarie Kinda proud of Tom 5d

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish You are right! It's Margaret (just looked it up). Good thing no one calls her Nitty Gritty ... yet. 🤣 1d

KAO While reading this chapter, I felt a bizarre reminder of the rich patriarch of the family visiting the White Lotus resort in the latest season of this show—about how he received news that his fortune had been lost and he didn‘t want to tell his privileged family and about how tortured he was by the sheer anticipation of financial ruin… Yes, I confess having watched the whole series! 1w

BarkingMadRead @kao I just started season 1, I can‘t wait to watch all the seasons! 1w

KAO @BarkingMadRead The show is SO bizarre, but I couldn‘t resist some unique storytelling! 1w

mcctrish Truthfully I can‘t even remember what the suit was for but the fact #tetchytully owed money to so many people I‘m not sure how his plan was ever going to be more than a dream. I haven‘t watched this season of WL yet, it‘s such a bonkers show ❤️❤️❤️ 1w

ElizaMarie Oooo White Lotus! So messed up! It‘s this slow burn to chaos! “Pipper Noooo!!!” 1w

julieclair #tetchytully ‘s “always going to law” and robbing Peter to pay Paul is catching up with him big time. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly It‘s sad and all but I found it hilarious how #tetchytully hates Wakem so much that he had a (possibly literal) stroke on learning that he owes him money! (edited) 1w

KAO @ElizaMarie 😂 “You want to live in Taiwan?! Noooo!” 1w

dabbe I just despise the derogatory terms used against poor Phil and his back.

Clare-Dragonfly I hope they become friends and Philip helps Tom with his Latin and drawing! I like Philip, but that‘s probably because I was a shy, bookish kid like him… and because him having a hunch due to a childhood accident makes me think of Mr Benson, the minister from

Ruth: a novel

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of him as well! 2w

ElizaMarie I‘m so confused about the point of this book!? 2w

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie is there one?!? 🤣🤣 2w

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie it might be a Lark Rise type book with no point. At least that‘s what it reminds me of. 2w

Leftcoastzen I like that they may find some common ground. Tom really admires Philips drawing skills. 2w

julieclair @dabbe I agree. The derogatory terms just make me sad. They were so widespread and just accepted as normal. 2w
