Me too. Hits close to home with my elderly mother having health issues as of late.that last talk with Bec, Miguel, and the kids about her health care and all the things that are going to happen surrounding her illness absolutely broke me.
I feel like in the beginning of the series everyone thought this show was all about Jack and how Jack was the hero. Turns out it really was more about Rebecca and how she was the unsung hero.
How long has she been in the family, any family? There would be plenty of drama in hers. She should have just stayed home instead of being snarky. But then every member of that generation should be in a show called This Is Me, Me, Me, all about Me, not Us.
I don't know. Kate is more likely to die from a weight problem (which was one of the themes of the show) before Rebecca does from Alzheimer's. And she's got enough of her own issues to deal with without having to make any rational, unselfish, decisions about someone else.
Seriously? Whoa about the weight.
Kevin is almost always annoying, especially when he is not getting his own way. I’m not surprised at all the issues the kids have or had. Families look one way from the outside and then you see every one of them has healthy and unhealthy interactions, and the kids react to what the parents do, sometimes inadvertently doing what their parents did. Even if they don’t end up copying their parents, the parents behavior still affects the kids’ behavior.

And frankly Adult Kevin has been getting on my last nerve as well.We wouldn’t have a tv show though lol.

I don’t see it that way. Both of them have changed and know what they need/want. A lot of differences now. It was a really well done episode.
The scenes showing them together I‘m pretty sure he is padded up because it looks a bit fake vs the original Toby. Well he would have to be of course.
I read awhile back that he wore a fat suit.
The cocktail party scene did not show those people as swanky or pretentious. Everyone was welcoming to Kate. At times she appeared judgmental to me. Toby told her not to ask people about their jobs but she did & then seemed dismissive of them. And she shouldn't have started a fight there in front of his boss & coworkers.
She did hear what he said IMO. But she doesn't want to move to SF to be with him, leaving her job and support system behind. I'd do the same in similar circumstances.
I don't "hate" Kate. She's a TV character after all. I know losing weight is not easy. But saying Kate loses weight very slowly when she hasn't lost any all, actually appears to have gained since the 1st episode, isn't much of an argument. And there were about 5 or 6 years when she didn't have any children.
They just want and need different things. It definitely happens.
I don't hate a t.v. character either (I don't like any of the Big Three), but, really isn't this "Kate's" whole story. She started getting fat as a kid and was unhappy, thinking she would never have a happy life or a husband. So she ate a box of Twinkies (whatever) and hates being fat. Then she meets a fat man who loves her and still isn't happy, so she eats another box of Twinkies and hates being fat. Toby matures and gets healthy and she still isn't happy and eats another box of Twinkies and hates being fat. So is it her dad's fault for dying, her mother being critical, Toby for evolving? She'll stay in LA, have a job she wants and eat another box of Twinkies because she is unhappy and hates being fat and on and on and on. She would not be happy even if she lost 100 lbs.
Pretty judgemental.
Tell the writers
