I listened to Friday's episode with trepidation. However, I felt an
enormous sense of relief at the end of the episode. Ed is right! He
has done everything he can and when it comes down to it, if being with
him and having the children with him is not good enough for Emma, then
they have completely different sets of values and they should not be
together.

I hope they stay apart.

Just my two penn'orth.

I thought what he said was lovely, very grounded and honest. I am
hoping she will realise he is right and being together is the thing
that matters. But it is not looking good so far.

The problem is I think, that Emma is a spoilt brat with ‘upper class’
aspirations (wonder where she gets that from?) who thinks the world owes
her everything she desires and why is she being denied all?

Ed is prepared to work hard to provide for his family, doesn’t think the
world owes him anything and doesn’t resent the Grundy family destiny
(despite the nasty streak apparent in so many of the S.W.’s to do them down
all the time). Happiness in life for Ed does not depend on riches and
golden ladder rungs but a contented family life and a good wife to support
and be supported by.

I agree: I think them separating would be for the best for Ed. Not sure
about Emma: at the moment, I don't feel too sympathetic towards her.

Agreed. A little sad that he had to say it so tearfully, but very
believable.

There have been times - such as when she was running for PC - that I
felt she had good points (of argument I mean, down boy ...). But her
whiny voice ...

Like his parents, really. (Though I think Ed is basically more honest
than Eddie - though more easily led, be it by Emma or that evil toerag.)

That's not quite fair. Emma is prepared to work very hard too and
always has. She just sees that she works much harder than most females
in Ambridge and she has 3 jobs rememebr, and helped Will a lot with
childcare and housework as well as being a good mother and
daughter-in-law, and she had the dream of a secure home of her own.
That's not just envy of those better off. But maybe she worries more
than Ed about their home not being secure. Although it was Ed had to
sleep in the tent.

I didn’t suggest that Emmur doesn’t work hard and I still stand by my other
observations of her.

Good mother I can grasp. What does being a good daughter-in-law actually
involve?

What does being a good daughter-in-law actually
involve?
Probably not suggesting to one's child she point out to Nana that the
picture shows a horse rather than a gee-gee...

Possibly also not getting upset (as said one-time child did) when MiL helps
by tidying up and doing the washing up. Smiling and saying thank you works
much better (and is what she did when I behaved in similar fashion).

I was very lucky with my MiL. When she used to say after big family
dinners "How lucky I am to have you all here" I'd simply say to her that
you reap as you sow [1].

I listened to Friday's episode with trepidation. However, I felt an
enormous sense of relief at the end of the episode. Ed is right! He
has done everything he can and when it comes down to it, if being with
him and having the children with him is not good enough for Emma, then
they have completely different sets of values and they should not be
together.
I hope they stay apart.
Just my two penn'orth.
Marry in haste, repent at leisure Emma. I suspect Soozan always expected
Ed to be the lesser of the two Grundy evils. She likes Clarrie when it
suits her, but has little time for the others in her social climbing world.

I agree. Thinking back to Ed's comment about a mortgage not giving you
security, he was in line to inherit a secure farm tenancy until the
Grundys got into debt because Susan forced Neil into an unsuitable job as
a feed salesman and he allowed them to buy on credit. I think generations
of Horrobins have done more damage to generations of Grundys than either
realises.

Susan wanted Neil to have a job with a car and suit wearing and so on, so
he became a feed salesman. The Grundys persuaded him to allow them to run
up a larger feed bill than they should have. The feed company eventually
sued the Grundys for the money, leading to their eviction from Grange
Farm and the move to Meadow Rise, where Ed went off the rails.

Oh, thank you, I didn't remember the feed bill stuff. So the Grundys'
losing Grange Farm was Susan's fault indirectly. And Neil's.

Grundys got into debt because Susan forced Neil into an unsuitable job
as a feed salesman and he allowed them to buy on credit. I think
generations of Horrobins have done more damage to generations of Grundys
than either realises.
OAP moment here. Sorry. Susan forced Neil into a job and credit buying
and that got the Grundys into debt? And the Horrobins did damage to
generation of Grundys? You are gaslighting me, innit? You want me to
get confused and think I am an old gaga.
Susan wanted Neil to have a job with a car and suit wearing and so on, so
he became a feed salesman. The Grundys persuaded him to allow them to run
up a larger feed bill than they should have. The feed company eventually
sued the Grundys for the money, leading to their eviction from Grange
Farm and the move to Meadow Rise, where Ed went off the rails.
And wasn’t that about the same time as Kneel’s near-dalliance with Maureen?

I listened to Friday's episode with trepidation. However, I felt an
enormous sense of relief at the end of the episode. Ed is right! He
has done everything he can and when it comes down to it, if being with
him and having the children with him is not good enough for Emma, then
they have completely different sets of values and they should not be
together.
I hope they stay apart.
I agree. Thinking back to Ed's comment about a mortgage not giving you
security, he was in line to inherit a secure farm tenancy until the
Grundys got into debt because Susan forced Neil into an unsuitable job
as a feed salesman and he allowed them to buy on credit. I think
generations of Horrobins have done more damage to generations of Grundys
than either realises.

No - that was when Soosan was the Ambridge One.

The Grundys always bought on credit but Neil let the firm increase the
credit limit to "help" out a friend. It backfired as in reality the
Grundys could not pay the smaller or larger bills.
