Libby and Lacey eat dinner with their mother on the bed of the trailer in which they live. The close proximity of this space has both good and bad characteristics; on the positive side the three spend their days together interacting without depending on television or other modern commodities for entertainment. However when tensions arise between them there is no private space in which to escape, this can lead to days of fighting and will sometimes cause Carrie to leave the girls with there father who they don’t like spending much time with.
