[quote=Anonymous]I don't think OP is weird or narcissistic for asking. People have been complaining about all the dead mothers in Disney movies for decades. Yes, it eases the way for a story about a child branching out, or coping with adversity, etc. But let's face it. A lot of this is a lack of creativity and lazy copycat storytelling. It's harder for writers to come up with ways to write the parent/child relationship so they just dispense with it. I find that frustrating too, especially when most media examples of it are snarky, precocious kids talking to clueless, inept parents. Kids also need to see examples of and relate to healthy, ongoing relationships.[/quote]
