Oh I can quite see Tara causing tensions. The thing is the others are making capital out of it.
It's all very well saying she's childlike and just having fun and just wants everyone else to have fun etc. but, maybe her idea of fun isn't their idea of fun (A la Jonny and Kate type thing).
Tara is old enough to be able to, should be able to, see that and maybe just tone it down a bit or do it away from them.
That said the others aren't exactly a barrel of laughs are they? They do realise this is a TV show I hope? If so they ought to be able to work out that watching them sitting around having a cosy chinwag ain't gonna have us tuning in by the Houseload.
So maybe they ALL ought to meet each other halfway? ”

good post Studley, but I think that generally the others ARE trying to accomodate her, but if she does a wobbly and runs off without any real provocation, and then later or next day comes back apologetic, and then the whole cycle kicks off again, it gets very boring.... heard it all before. The tendency is next time to treat her less and less sympathetically. We only see snippets of her behaviour - they are living with her 24/7, and you can now see how fed up with her they really are, everyone including Rhona, whilst TRYING not to make a big issue out of it, but people do snap.

Very true, Tara irritated the hell outta me last night and I only saw her for an hour. All day must have been really hard work.; Rhona, to her credit, tried but even she got tired of it.
That said I do think Darren had an awful lot to do with the way she behaved. That doesn't excuse her behaviour though, she IS 30+ for goodness sake.
Sure she like to play like a kid sometimes, no problem with that, but when it comes to something as serious as personal issues well........ lets just say I wasn't impressed with the way she behaved, not that that excuses, or gives an excuse, for the way some of the others responded.
