Ooooh yeah that number is gonna be needed probably for something or someone else whichever comes first

Lmao I’m Mexican and I’ve said crazier to my moms face because of her neglect. It’s always weird when people look down on those who don’t respect their parents. We are not all raised the same, and just because you can forgive your parent and “they did their best” doesn’t mean everyone has to think and feel that way. Also Haley’s thought process is not unfounded ??? Her mom literally acts like Mikes time is worth more than Haley’s. She takes mikes time into consideration more so than Haley’s. She might neglect all three of them but she still favors Mike

Jesus Christ Hailey

Can someone tell me what the hell a marking period is

SomeColourMage

I'll tell her to do the thing Mike already chose to do by himself! IT'S THE PERFECT PLAN

Mike is his Mom's favourite kid. Haley is understandable.

This!!! Some people are lucky to have parents who care enough to try but others are not always so fortunate. Its always weird to me too when people try to minimize neglect on the grounds of “well their your parents/family” it really doesnt matter…

Amione

Are you nutty, Haley? Are you? DO YOU FUCKING KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR MOTHER TRUSTS YOU??? YOU COULD STEAL THEIR BOOZE AND THEY WOULD BLAME MIKE!!!

Tom

Haley not knowing (yet?) Mike volunteered because he wanted to and not because of an ultimatum is some great contributing setup to the inevitable tragedy.

Zambies

Yeah and like, there are plenty of talks from therapists about why no child is raised by the same parent and so it makes sense why some siblings do not have good relationships with each other. I try not to word vomit about my own childhood but reading Vero say people are saying Haley is white for the way she is behaving towards her mother is very aggravating to me. Parents struggles are NOT yours. They need to pull it together. Siblings are not there to raise other siblings

Sympathizing with toxic behavior is still problematic. this is messy...

Elmanii

This is true. However, we must also recognize that her love for Mike comes with conditions. He's her favorite child, because as the first born, his parents raised him to be "perfect." Which is why his people pleasing tendencies are so severe now.

It is basically another term for a school semester or quarter where they get their marks/grades to show where they are at currently in the school year.

Recognizing Haley's struggle is not minimizing Mike's struggles.

Addystar

Thank you, I thought it must be something like that but had no idea what kind of time frame it might be

Nev Ravenoak

Something like a "semester" or a "quarter." However their school breaks up the school year.

It’s called parentification and emotional neglect. It is abuse. Just because something is common in a lot of households doesn’t mean it’s not abuse.

Fiver

I mean... they could hire a babysitter

Salmon

Haley I see you and your oldest daughter syndrome! get behind me so I can protect from the people who don’t get it!

Lykky

wow...

Zambies

They can’t comprehend this

esinololly

Oh my god, I hope with all my heart that something like this will come true!! I actually like Haley and can see where she's coming from to a point, but MAN the drama will be so juicy to watch unfold!!

SCD

Yikes. Just yikes.

Kiall Vun Myeret

I mean, outside of the potty mouth Haley pretty much solved this perfectly didn't she? I was afraid she would quitly stop helping like how she did with Mike's food but if she actually told her mother it seems totally fair to me. There are single parents out there who have a toddler to look out for without having an elder daughter. There are options

esinololly

My sympathies also go to Chris on this. The kid is just existing, man

gOOD FOR HER

See, I feel like she gets the wrong message out of being asked to baby sit. Cause to me, it implies mom thin ks she's reponsible. Yes it's very frustrating that she always asks her but it hardly says she's 'dumb' Like don't get me wrong I get that being the responsible one is hard, but I don't think she thinks you're dumb. As for why she can't get someone else, for all we know money is a problem and Haley can't see that. I'm not saying that definitivly, but we know their parents are likely gonna divorce soon so anything is possible. Also if I remember correctly Mike wanted to babysit Chris, I believe he offered but mom initially tried to get him to not do that. I do not think that'sa cause Mike is her favouritist special boy, but I think it's cause she can see Mike is not in the right place and wasn't trying to add any stress to him. Even though him asking was likely a sign he was trying to find some purpose and stuff.
