I totally agree. From the moment she seen Brad, he's been her priority, no matter how much she denied it. Mark and her whole family, were always playing 2nd fiddle to a 20 year old relationship

What????? rubbish!!! she never turned her back on her family at alll!!!! Recall one instance when she did this!

The fact that none of the family that moved to Erinsborough with Lauren is left is pretty damning when taken as a whole. Obviously it hasn't been written that way, and each person who left did so with a reason, but it's done the character of Lauren no favours that her whole family (bar Paige, who isn't dependent on her) has gone.

tammyy2j is right that she would be a better mother if she moved to join Bailey and Amber (and Matilda), who need her more than anyone else does. Amber leaving was the perfect opportunity. Paige could easily run the cafe.

That's right they all left for individual reasons had nothing what so ever with her being a 'bad' mother, or turning her back on them......... But why should she leave? She still has one child there that she has missed out on seeing grow up,,,, as if she could walk away from her now.... I couldn't....., and she has her business and boyfriend/lover!!

To be a good mother to the kids who need her the most (Amber and Bailey are both still very young, and also grief-stricken and vulnerable). Don't forget that she dumped Brad a few weeks back, so why on earth didn't she permanently join Amber, Matilda and Bailey? Because the writers want to keep her in the show for Brad, of course. But they can't write a reason for her to stay that convinces me she's a good mother who's willing to put her kids' well-being first.

Do you mean Bailey? Amber even spelt out that her mother's relationship with Brad was part of the reason she wanted to leave...

**tammyy2j** · 26-01-2016, 12:53

I think it was obvious Amber wasn't comfortable with Brad moving into her father's house but complied to satisfy Lauren and Paige

Bailey was struggling with grief, hatred for Brad and drinking, he should be Lauren's top priority as he is her baby even if he is a teenager plus Amber is a new mother with a sick baby

Well I certainly don't want her to leave, and totally agree with you. I think some just want Lauren to leave because they don't like her!
