I disagree. She puts her daughter down constantly and is out to humiliate her whenever possible. Some of her remarks are plain awful. Get a life of your own would be my suggestion to her. Let go of your adult kids, they are not your baby sitters.I am not surprised Charlie has problems.

I don't like Jackie. She needs to go.

Jackie comes across as the stereotypical stage parent, and she extends that to how she treats the rest of the house now, too.
