HARDLY a retcon. Not sure you even know what that means? Brad is dealing with her the way he should – THIS is the better way. She has to learn the “my house, my rules” system or suffer the consequences of not getting her way.
I actually hope Brad deals with this with a firm hand, shutting down the crying and enforcing punishment if she doesn’t fall in line. Being “kind” to her manipulation won’t teach her anything.
Nah. She’s used to her dad being gone. She’s not crying about that. She’s crying because she’s a brat used to always getting her way and crying is her first defense mechanism when being denied. This whole arc MIGHT be the taming of the shrew.
Yes. Yes, she does. If Brad tells her to take a shower, she needs to march into the bathroom and take a shower.
