I agree with you and I think June was just disappointed with Sheilas alleged lack of morals and perhaps thought Colin was not good enough for her.- which is exactly why I find it unusual that Colin wrote about her the way he did. As someone who knew all of them I expected to find out more about Jeremy - but really found out very little.
I'm nearly 40 and my mother still hounds me about things. I just let her vent then do what I want anyway because I am an adult and it is my life and my decisions...I don't ask for her opinion she just gives it.
Equally annoying or moreso is that she asks us for our opinions then totally disregards them and does the complete opposite anyway. When she asks for my opinion I tell her you will not listen anyway so just do what you want. She will hound me, I will give my opinion then she will do the opposite. Most recently she was planning to change the style of poles on the porch of the house. She showed the style she liked and I said I hated it, it looked country-like. She picked it anyway- which I knew would happen. To make matters worse my wife likes it and wants ours changed to the same style. So it even spills over...
