The portion sizes I used to have in my teens and early 20's were obscene  .
I feel like the moment people really "started" on them was when Jamie flipped at them. It's like it made them "fair game" to be, as you said, scapegoats for everyone else's complaints and frustrations.
They ARE a bit defensive and take criticism hard but that's really the worst that can be said of them, and I think the problem there is really that they take so much unwarranted flak that they find it hard to know when people have a genuine criticism that they should maybe take on board, vs when people are just taking out their own issues on them. |
Re the food my son's dinner plate is fondly called the bucket and he's not at all overweight.
My problem with the whole defensive/criticism is that they are all defensive and can't take criticism. This has caused Stacy to turn into a cross between the ring and Nicole's minder. Sent Colleen into a week long meltdown over one tweet. It sent Nicole into a rage at Kim. It made Jamie fall out with James J. All Jedward have done is tried to say something back when criticism is being heaped on them by everyone. I'd call that standing up for themselves but we don't really know what they want to say as they are never allowed to finish speaking.
