Do you normally have trouble with reading comprehension, or just in this instance?

The hierarchy has been in place forever and they throw tissy fits when you cannot attend family functions or refuse to keep up appearances and admit things like "Larlo has ADHD" or "Larla will never get into an ivy league college. We just hope she goes to college." My mother was obsessed with England when she visited and she used to follow the royal family. I even have a sibling who used to obsessed with royalty and who acts like she is next in line to the throne to the point her daughters even comment on it. Those of us who refuse to play into the BS are treated like a bunch Meghan Markles. They even have their own royal press....they gossip among eachother and fill you in on what the other royals think of your choices.
My father thinks he's king so I understand why my mother thinks she's queen.

I think the non working women of this generation was too into the Princess Diana stuff, Dynasty, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and all the other fancy useless females of the early 80s . They seemed to spend the 80s dreaming of when they would be the matriarchs or being a princess.
The career women of the early 80s, now seem much more grounded, interested in travel, have hobbies etc. They spent the 80s dreaming of when they would have time to pursue their interests and now they are doing them.
My aunt and mother were working women and they both act like royal matriarchs. One was quite accomplished in her career and that just makes her more uppity. They both now have quite a bit of money thanks to investments so the money thing adds more feather to their crowns apparently.

OP here. Yes, that's another thing. My mom is very into thinking of herself as quite "classy." She calls the part of the family that acts like this the "classy side." I told her my definition of class is different. I believe it's classy to treat everyone respectfully, avoid gossip, not be ashamed of disabilities and learning differences, and allow people free will. Apparently I have it all wrong.
Might your last name be Bucket?
It’s pronounced Bouquet.
Lol, I love that show.
I found a youtube video to tell me what you were talking about. My neighbor is so much like that woman!
It is a really funny show. You'll find reruns on PBS stations. What you'll see is that some of her mannerisms are annoying at first glance but she has a heart that is as large as the ocean. Watching it would be good for a lot of people who only see the surface and don't bother to look past that.

Really, eye-roll PP? I feel very sorry for you.
NP. You are lacking in self-awareness. You state you don't have family who act like royalty as the PP's do. You SHOULD feel sorry for everyone. Glad your family has appropriate boundaries. The way you treat them must feel reciprocated. It doesn't for the PP's. Some people treat their family like royalty and it is NOT EVER ENOUGH.
