Why in the world did you disagree with Bridgette's husband that she needed to get a job??? That is exactly what she needs !!! If she had to earn the money she spends, she would appreciate it much, much more! And...she'd have less time to spend money! I am a single mother, working part time three days a week, and keeping my elderly mother the other four days, and that makes seven days a week, that I don't have time to spend money!
She needs to go to work to appreciate having money to spend. I have been without, and I have been rich, but I've learned to be content with whatever state I am in!

Although Bridgette having a job is certainly not the panacea to the issues that Micheal and Bridgitte have, but it is an essential step to start her on the road to growing up! There is a definate parent/child relationship there and she is rebelling in spades. She needs to move forward into being an adult.
I also believe that if she earned some of the money needed to pay back what she has stolen from her family, she might gain some self esteem.
