I find this entire episode so performative. She isn’t going away to university. She is in the same city and she doesn’t even live with her full-time as it is so nothing is really changing. If this university offered guaranteed residence to all first year students I would have no problem with a local kid moving in but this doesn’t seem to be the case at this university. Does Birdie have any idea how parents of those kids who don’t live in the city must feel with their 17-year-old is really leaving home and they now have to find them a place to live as well as set them up to really fend for themselves off campus? She doesn’t care. The fact M is taking up space and planning to spend weekends with her parents makes it even worse!

They are a greedy selfish family.
