While reading through this memoir, I couldn't help feeling like all the Walls family adventures weren't real. I knew they were, however I just couldn't believe them.
How could anyone's family ever live the way they did? How could Mr. and Mrs. Walls ever let their three year old child cook hot dogs before and after she got set on fire? They hardly parented their children. I understand it was to make them learn from their mistakes, but the Walls children should not have had to grow up that way. Their house on 93 Little Hobart Streeet was so dilapidated that they could hardly live in it. They moved constantly as well. How could any child grow up in several different places and leave all their original friends?
Rex wasn't a help at all when it came to income. In fact, he took the money needed for the bills and spent it on alcohol. The mother didn't help much either. When they did get money, she spent it on art supplies. She even refused to keep a job and support the family. Parents should understand that if they are going to be parents, they have to take care of their children. Sure Lori, Brian, and Jeannette turned out well, but Maureen turned into a mess who did drugs and even stabbed her own mother.
