Miraculous and the parents dilemma: How is it MLB only seems to present bad parents and barely any healthy families? Like, most of the teen characters have bad parents, on top most are single too so they can't even have at least one good parent they can find comfort in
Adrien: Gabriel isn't exactly "father of the year" and let's not act like Emilie was that holy mother everyone makes her out to be. She never let him exit the mansion either (as an example). Anyway she died so. The grandparents? F*ck you Emil, Millie, don't act like you're better, Johnny and Gabrielle - so far chill but did they really not care how their only son just died recently? Thank you Nathalie for showing how a parent should be
Sublime: Severin is actually chill and supportive (good parent points to him) while Caroline pushes her daughter way too hard. Plus they are divorced and cursed their daughter with this whatever name (how did they get it approved lol?)
Sabrina: Roger is kinda overprotective and he basically lets her daughter get bullied by the one person who she thinks is her friend. Also single parent
Chloe/Zoé: Audrey is basically a narcissist, can't even remember her daughters names, Andre doesn't really give a sh*t about Chloe, his parenting style is "gifts and money are enough", Zoé is basically an affair child. We don't even know her father's name, only that it's a certain Mr. Lee (well, that helps lol)
Luka/Juleka: Anarka and Jagged - not a good mix. Jagged is basically an absent father and too much into the "rock n roll lifestyle", and Anarka doesn't seem to care too much about what's happening in her children's lives
Marinette: Sabine and Tom are completely oblivious to the stalking activities of their daughter or like almost any activity for that matter. Don't even get me started on Tom's parents (Roland, you're in the "f*ck you" club too)
Max: We didn't see too much of his relationship with his mother but she seems chill (only cause she basically has like no screentime). Appears to be single parent too
Alix: Alim, where do I start - huge favoritism problem. Never acknowledges his son, one could say he hates him, while plays favourites with Alix. Also single as it appears
Felix: Colt was definitely a true sunshine. Amelie basically cheers on her son's terrorist acts and manipulates him into stealing the twin rings back from Gabriel (not like him and Adrien are family or anything plus those contain his amoks you beanhead) so yeah, great parenting right there : D
Alya: You know what? Her parents seem to understand parenting duties
Kagami: Tomoe, prime example of abusive and demanding mother. She's so bad, her daughter almost commited s*cide. Single or killed her husband, I'm taking both options into consideration
Mylene: Her mother left her when she was young. Fred actually is a good parent and cares for his daughter but barely appears anyway
So....are the writers allergic to healthy parenting? What do they gain with giving almost all the teens horrible family lives?
At this point I'm writing this out of the memory I have cause I refuse to rewatch MLB cause honestly I don't need that kind of suffering again, I suffered enough
