[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Jake storyline doesn’t work. Why are we supposed to care about this kid? He’s done nothing other than be Robby’s ex stepson and their previous interactions weren’t even interesting.

Sorry but this is a big misstep in an otherwise phenomenal show. [/quote]

I sort of agree. Plus, Robby wasn’t even married to Jake’s mom, only dated her for a couple of years. He never was his actual stepson. In real life, that kid wouldn’t give him the time of day.[/quote]

Maybe that isn't who/how you are, but I had a lot of not-moms and not-dads growing up, and that dynamic, that connection, was very similar to how Jake seems to see Dr. Robby. Didn't you have aunties/uncles? That bond doesn't go away just because your adult(s) separate(s).[/quote]

Aunties and uncles are different from the scenario The Pitt wants us to believe. In this case, Robby only dated Jake’s mother for a few years. We don’t even know when - maybe before Collins? It doesn’t sound at all like an auntie/uncle relationship. And yes, often when the adults break up, the kid is no longer closer with the ex, especially if they weren’t married. It’s just not realistic.[/quote]
You seem unable to grasp that other people have different experiences than you. He had an LTR with the mom. Maybe they were friends before we don't know. We know Robby and Jake have a strong bond. I know people with similar relationships. I also understand that not everyone in an LTR forms those bonds. [/quote]

Yes and you’re not accepting that some people think it’s unrealistic based on their experiences. Why are you so angry? It’s like you absolutely cannot handle a different point of view or any criticism whatsoever of this show. It’s actually bizarre how heated you get. And thanks for confirming you are the nut who has been derailing this thread any chance you get with your bs. Stop attacking posters who don’t agree with you or you will continue to be reported to Jeff.

[i]My[/i] experiences make me believe it’s a bit unrealistic for a teen to maintain a tight bond with his mother’s boyfriend after they are no longer together. So maybe the writers need to show more for it to be more believable. [/quote]
I didn’t get angry or attack you. I pointed out that you seem to have trouble seeing another point of view. I literally said [i]I also understand that not everyone in an LTR forms those bonds.[/i] You’re threatening to report me to Jeff because I’m pointing out that others see a relationship that you deem unrealistic? That seems more like an attack. Disagreement or pointing out flawed thinking isn’t an attack. I’m very specifically saying not every LTR results in those relationships but some do. You seem very worked out about this.[/quote]
