[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised at all the Toby hate! I feel like Kate is irrational and always blames everyone/everything else for her life and Toby loves her and is just trying hard to keep her happy.[/quote]

Yes.

It was not explicitly said, but she blamed her mom for her bailing on the talent show. When she heard her mom singing in the shower (where she barged in), she made this face like her mom tried to one up her on purpose. I am so over Kate -- and I think I am supposed to be, right?  They are writing her to be unlikeable. [/quote]

I don't find her unlikeable at all.  I think she's just deeply insecure, from a lifetime of being told she's fat - remember the mean girls at the pool?  That scene was excruciating.  And while her parents clearly always adored her, Kate couldn't help comparing herself to her perfect, talented, beautiful mother.  I think she's well-aware that it's her own resentment of Rebecca which has caused such a rift in their relationship.  Remember in an early episode last season, when she was telling the bratty daughter of her employer that she (Kate) had pushed her own mother away, completely unfairly?  I think she could use some therapy to explore these resentment issues.  I feel bad for Rebecca, who was clearly a wonderful mother and never did anything to hurt Kate.  Kate was just super-sensitive to anything she perceived as a slight.  Rebecca really can't win - she's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.  I do wish she'd tell Kate that sometime, instead of just looking at her with a hurt expression.  I like Kate, but someone needs to tell her to stop feeling sorry for herself.[/quote]
