[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen it before.  A genuine resentment from a mother toward (usually) a daughter, and you can even see it on reruns on reality TV!  Kate Gosselin with Colin (and we all know how that turned out; badly) as well as Amber Johnston (of "7 Little Johnstons" on TLC) and poor scapegoated Anna.  Danielle tries to pass it off as "joking," but you can see that Riley doesn't quite get the joke (she wouldn't, at two or three) and also...  It's not actually a joke.  No child should be labeled as "bad," especially when she's not.  I find this dynamic very disturbing.[/quote]

Yes, the Johnsons are sooooo mean to Ana. She clearly is special needs and they just rail on her nonstop. It’s mean.[/quote]

It's the "black sheep of the family" or "scapegoating" syndrome (dysfunctional family dynamic); again, it was Colin in the Gosselins and is Anna in the Johnstons and Riley in the Busbys.  Fascinating from a psychological perspective, but not funny to the kid when he or she becomes the running joke or "B-A-D" one.  [/quote]
