10 times the mum in Miracle on 34th Street is just the worst

What's her problem?!?

Dorey Walker, worra bitch! I get it - she's divorced, she's a working mum and she has the pressure of organising a shit hot Christmas Parade for Cole's department store. Life is stressful and I love her bad-ass attitude, but she really gets on my nerves as well. Let me explain the reasons... ...

1. Well, the obvious

She told little Susan there was no god damn Santa Clause - causing her to grow up way too fast. Telling your daughter there's no Santa is just unforgivable, Dorey.

2. She treats Bryan (SORRY, MR BEDFORD 🙄) like the hired help

It's obvious Bryan is smitten with Dorey and her passive aggressive ways. He looks after her daughter during the day whenever she needs and she still has a go at him when he tells her daughter that Santa is real.

3. She forgot to sew up the turkey's bottom

And the stuffing all fell out... nice one Dorey. Nice one. Dinner: ruined.

4. She limits her daughter's intake of sugar

You don't seriously think Susan passed up on getting a delicious snack because she was really "trying to limit her intake of sugar", do you?! No, that's her weird mum passing on her weird diet over to her daughter. End of.

5. She fires Kris Kringle

Granted, she gives him a job in the first place, and she doesn't order him to wear the rubbish suit because of protocol, and she does get him the lawyer he needs (calling on the guy she always leans on - Bryan) but still, what happened to innocent until proven guilty?!

6. She breaks Bryan's heart

If I got given a Cartier engagement ring from a bonafide hottie who loves my kid, I'd be like, YES. 💎 She instead breaks his heart - at Christmas. Cow.

7. She gets married without Susan being there

I know it's all romantic - getting married on Christmas Eve - with the man you settle on, but c'mon, Susan would have loved to have been at that wedding.

8. She tries to stop Susan talking in court

As we all know - Susan is the one that saves Kris Kringle in court, offering a dollar bill to the judge, but before that, when she tries to shout out about his innocence, Dorey shushes her. Ffs. What's your problem, love?

9. She puts on a full face of makeup before going down to see Susan on Christmas morning

WTF Dorey, quit wasting time applying your toffee-coloured lippy, and blow-drying your hair all perfect and go down and say Merry Christmas to your little girl.

10. Santa got her a muther f*cking house

Let me get this straight - Dorey Walker was a non believer and she got a house and a husband when clearly she should have been on the naughty list. Life is cruel.
