[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]I find that frustrating too, especially when most media examples of it are snarky, precocious kids talking to clueless, inept parents.[/b] Kids also need to see examples of and relate to healthy, ongoing relationships.[/quote] I hate this too. Kids are so savvy, parents are idiots who end up deferring to the clever kids.[/quote]
