Have you got a baby
brother or sister? What was it like for you when the baby first came
home? What changed? What stayed the same?
| Yes. She was a pain. I
wasn't allowed to sleep in my cot. I still lived in the same
house. Ozrap 4 at St Elizabeth's |
Why do the children
think that having Aunt Miranda coming to stay is worse than the new baby
coming home?| Aunt Miranda is a bad
baby sitter because she always yells at the children for no reason.
She humiliated the kids by singing on the stage while the kid's
friends were there. She would not do her duties and washed the baby
only once. Tassie Crunchies |
| The children think that
it is worse having Aunt Miranda coming to stay than having the new
baby come home because Aunt Miranda shouts at them and tells them
off, makes them do their homework and wants to take over the
family. Area 11 Rostrata |
How
did Jason change the family when he arrived?
| Baby Jason changed the family a lot.
After he came everyone seemed to be unhappy. Greg was embarrassed,
Lady Meow was thrown outside and Mr Jones and Mrs Moo wanted to
leave home. Brian thinks his mother doesn't love him . Jane thought
she would be able to help but she wasn't allowed to. Tassie Crunchies |
Why did Aunt Miranda leave so suddenly?
