[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so distracted trying to figure out how Randall & Beth are suddenly having so many issues, that I can't concentrate on the other story lines!! Now it's an issue of not having money & the girls needing Beth. Say what?? They spend money on the most frivolous things. They fly out to see Kate & stay for four days with I'm sure last minute tickets. That can't be cheap. Who's watching the girls while they are gone? All of this drama about the girls being left alone, yet they don't explain who has them while they up and take off to see Kate. Why are they cleaning up after these teenage girls? Are they not old enough at this point to wash dishes and do some laundry?[/quote]

I don't think Randall and Beth's issues are sudden as much as they haven't been resolved properly. Frankly I'm surprised they've made it this long with what he has done lately. It's like the couple who breaks up over a dirty glass on the counter. It's not really the glass. It's everything that lead up to that. The money they are spending to see Kate is ridiculous. Randall has gone 2x. Beth once, all last minute trips across country. IRL I'd tell DH no way should we be spending money to go see her. [b]His first responsibility is to the family under his roof not a sister whose pregnancy is risky because she gave up on any and all methods to make it less risky by taking better care of herself and now everyone is supposed to fall in line and not state the obvious.[/b]  [/quote]

Agree.  And they could have simply adopted a child to begin with.[/quote]

But then they wouldn't have a Jack descendent!! the world would stop spinning!![/quote]

Like what was said earlier, Beth and Kate both lost their father at a young age and they were both close to their fathers, yet it seems like the show wants us to feel for Kate like a lost little lamb, but not Beth. Beth has put up with a lot from Randall, he moved his father  in, Kevin at one point lived there, he quit his job, he wanted another child so they adoped, he bought a building he ran for office in another city. She has given in a lot, yet now she is wrong for wanting something for herself.   [/quote]

It’s not the wanting, it’s the timing. She waited 20 years, and she gave the go ahead to all of Randall’s requests. It would be totally fair for her to tell him that this is harder for her than anticipated and when his term is up, it’s her turn to do what she wants.  I assume it’s a two year term.  She can use that time to gear up for her home dream pursuit. [/quote]
