Question for The Moms (No Talking)


How would have you have handled bratty Becky in this episode? Talk to her? Ignore her??? Back off just a little bit??

Tore her ass up

Pretty much. She crossed the line from brat to ungrateful piece of caca.

Black men and a whole lot of *beep* white men have had plenty fun adoring my ass!

reply

She would have gotten a spanking.

I knew I would get that kind of answer from u novastar. teehee

I would have backed off her a little.
She still should be grounded another week for skipping out on her original punishment, yes.
Becky was a real brat, but Roseanne made it her business it seemed to make it much worse. It became a power struggle not only for Becky, but for ROSEANNE.

Ro always hated when things did not go her way, when she couldn't control every little thing or every person.

Dan was actually right in how he felt about the whole situation: Back off a little bit. Let tensions ease.
Becky was indeed acting like a teenager in rebellion.

Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I would have backed off too. Roseanne was waaay too overbearing on her kids and ironically all her interfering backfired on her anyway. I like when Roseanne found the diary and Jackie told her not to read it because it was something their mom would have done. It just wasn't Roseanne's personality to let things go though.

I always felt like Roseanne maybe secretly hated/resented Becky. She was a mostly good kids who always had to take up for everyone because she oldest. All the good the perky, skinny, blonde does is ignored. The bad is always thrown the book at. Notice the loser brunette daughter is beloved. Roseanne probably felt she was getting back at all the pretty blonde girls who wouldn't be her friend.

I kind of wondered about that too, honeybefine, that deserves its own thread..

reply

I would have backed off and ignored her right back - but she would have stayed grounded until her attitude changed.

reply

I would have done the exact same thing and removed that damn door! HoweverI wouldn't have been as soft as Roseanne.

You want to ignore me and blatantly be rude to me at dinner? Fine. Then her phone use, date nights, and those damn headphones would vacation for awhile. Respect is 2 ways brat. I love you but you're being a total *beep* Seriously her tone was deserving of a slap to the cheek. Sorry anti spanking people lol.

And that "When ever you want" speech she gives Becky at the end wouldn't have happened.

And Dan would be in dog house as he almost seemed glib she still "liked" him.

reply

Ignored her.
