Any kid I know whose parents attempted to play the "cool mom" role like that ALWAYS ended up eventually doing something super dumb and reckless like getting a DUI.

I can totally see Alexa & Raquel turning into some sort of less rich Paris & Nicky Hilton types. You know, DUIs, rehab stints, the whole 9. Except for the fact that MTV won't think they're reality TV show worthy. LOL.

I also get the idea that Lynne doesn't take her daughter's lack of ambition THAT seriously. She's just kind of like, "Yeah, I know Raquel is a complete bum, but it's her life."

I agree with Jeana on the "either you go to school or work full time" thing. I knew some reasonably well-off kids in HS, and they certainly weren't allowed to just live off of mommy and daddy if they weren't doing anything with their lives.
