mourning sybil

Really? Kids play parents off against each other all the time. Of course the parents should talk privately and then present a united front. That's what seems to be missing here. I don't see Jazz as anymore of a brat than most 15 year olds. She is spoiled, but far less than many teen-aged girls I know who come from families like hers. And she's the baby of the family, which often adds to spoiling. (just ask my 55-year old "baby" brother . . . still spoiled!) And she has always had special needs. I do feel for the other children, but I have a feeling their "resentment" is being played up for the show. Overall, they all seem to have good relationships with each other and their parents.

They did say her birth name in an early episode (where they were showing pictures of her when she was 2 or 3 years old).
