In the Little Women: LA episode “Get Happy”, the cameras follow Christy, Todd, and Autumn at a restaurant. Over dinner, Autumn announces that she’s ready to go to a club with a friend soon. When she’s asked by Christy “What kind of club?” Autumn replies, “Just a nice little nightclub.” Christy’s next question is “Do you want me to go?” (Insert sound of record scratching.) Autumn says, “I love you but I can’t be supervised for everything I do.”
If 18-year-old Autumn was looking for freedom from her mother, maybe deciding to go into real estate together wasn’t a great idea. Just sayin’. “I need to have my social life for myself, and I don’t need my mom to butt into it,” Autumn complains. Christy tells Autumn, “I thought you wanted me to take you to your first nightclub.” Autumn reveals that she already knows who she’s going to go with, Drew. At first her parents think Drew is a boy, but Drew is a girlfriend in L.A. Todd’s first question is “Is she average sized?” Autumn says no.
Christy wants to know if Autumn’s planning on drinking at this nice little nightclub. (Her friend Drew is 22.) Autumn says she understands her mother’s concern — Christy just celebrated her 8th sober year — but as Autumn says, “Yes, I may make mistakes in life but in the end it should be my decision, not hers.” Little Women: LA airs Wednesdays at 8pm on Lifetime.
