@lelandlancaster:
Lmao she is like a blackhole of suck.
Lori's (and Rick's) totally fail parenting skills are driving me up the wall. I mean I guess that before everything went down, they probably left Carl on his own a lot (he seems like a kid that would be fine on his own or with his friends) but shit man. There are zombies running around everywhere and bands of roving lunatics and they don't even seem concerned that they don't see him for hours on end. My parents were more watchful of me, when I was a kid, at the damned grocery store.
I mean I don't really think they would confine to the farmhouse but a "stay in sight of the farm at all times" doesn't sound unreasonable, in the world they live in.
I think part of the problem is that Carl is so very stupid.They tell him constantly to stay some place, but then next scene, bam, he's right behind them lol…I get he wants to be included but he can't even listen to simple directions. When I was a kid I got to do more if I did what my parents told me first lol. Also wandering the woods alone is such a great idea when you know there have been a few walkers nearby lol. Lori did seem to coddle him a lot. But she seems to be very out of touch too. Hmm...Rick a bit too, but I think his issues are him trying to not just kill everything on sight or leave people to die because it may be a threat. The whole Randall thing. Sharing guns with the gang bangers in Atlanta. Merle…He has to get used to adjusting his moral scale.
Unfortunately for Carl he needs to pretty much literally man up. He took a big step in actually taking the shot. But ugh...He's really gonna have to redeem himself in my opinion, to erase all the memeories of him doing all those irriating things before hand. He'll pretty much have to be a Daryl.2 at this point lol.
