Amanda Reply - Jules

I completely agree about the Amanda thing. I honestly felt like she was flirting with Jim at first, you know, how she was telling him how she had all of those callers when she was younger and telling him all those jokes. But I really think that she was just trying to make him think more highly of Laura. And yes, I think that she has good intentions for her children but does not always do the right thing for them. For example, how she was always nagging Tom about how to properly chew his food. She was just trying to be caring for him, but it really seemed annoying. Also, with the whole thing about Laura going to school. Some people may call her a bad mother because she wasn't making sure that her daughter was actually going to school, but I feel that she shouldn't have to check up on that sort of thing for someone as old as Laura. I feel like she really tried to be a good mother for them, she just didn't always do it the right way.
