Why doesn't this article surprise me? Meddling parents are part of the family package; I'm fairly certain that since the dawn of time, parents have tried to do what they perceive is the best thing for their children. Joe Simpson, on the other hand, throws the concept of "meddling parents" into a league of it's own.
Granted, I do not know either of the Simpson girls and I've never met their parents either... BUT, from the outside looking in, it would appear as though the sisters may benefit from obtaining non-family liaison to separate their business life from their family life.
I generally subscribe to the philosophy that you shouldn't mix business with anything else other than business (including family). I mean lets face it: Many of us (tho not everyone) strive to acquire our parents affection, approval, etc.. Whether we like it or not, even on the most minuscule scale, it does matter to a certain extent.
These girls are the age of my sister and I; I can't imagine my mom not only telling me that my curtains don't match my sofa or my dad telling me that I spent too much on my car, but also having them telling me which jobs to take, which magazine to sell my wedding to, all the while taking (at the bare minimum) a 10% commission.
But hey, that's just me.
