\"\"<\/a>It’s girls gone wild with mum leading the way! (Dad left 12 years ago!)<\/p>\n

14- year-old Britney Marshall\u00a0 lives in England with her family. She looks like a normal young teen, except the family photo could easily be mistaken for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

Britney is the youngest of five daughters–all blonde and all endowed to the ridiculous! Well, not naturally endowed. Her 53-year-old mother is wondering what she did wrong in raising Britney.<\/p>\n

Are you ready for why? Brace yourself, I’m guessing this is not something any of my readers struggle with in terms of their daughters!<\/p>\n

It is because Britney may refuse breast implants– a rite of passage among mum and the four sisters. Britney’s mum is worried because young Brit doesn’t want size 32 GG breasts like she has ( I didn’t even know there was such a size! And one daughter is a 34 HH–this must be even bigger). She wants young Brit to follow in her and her sisters’ footsteps, or should we say bra size! Mum loves the look of fake breasts and really hopes her daughter comes around. All her sisters have had breast implants.<\/p>\n

The women in Britney’s family boast 13 operations and six pints of silicon. The price tag for all the plastic surgery could put Americans back to work!<\/p>\n

The crazy part here is that the kid is the sensible one, saying she wants to focus on school and her future, not her body.<\/p>\n

And it gets better, mum also has four boys who are siding with Brit!<\/p>\n

So Britney, I’m with your brothers—be different, be yourself!<\/p>\n

And mum, take some of the money you have for more surgery and use it to find a good mental health therapist and get a copy of my book, Making Peace With Your Thigh<\/em>s (and other body parts). Read the chapter on Breasts for a little sanity in your thinking.<\/p>\n
