I don't get why the whole discussion seems to be Nikki Vs. Marge. My point is that both of them have been railroaded by BARB more than once. I feel for both Nikki and Marge. They both are trying to find their way in life, but they keep getting sneered at by the other family members. Barb seems to be the leader, and then everyone falls behind her. Why dont' Nikki and Marge learn to be nicer to each other and realize that Barb is not giving them room to grow? Especially since Barb did have sort of an idyllic upbringing and Nikki grew up on a compound and Marge with a crazy drunk floozy Mother? And then, even though Barb's family IS the most normal, Nikki and Margene STILL stick up for Barb ALL THE TIME when her family comes over!!!
I just feel like Barb is in no way a good friend to those two, and maybe the writers make it like that to show that Barb was never really on board with the whole concept to begin with. Well, if that is the case, then why agree to it ever? Why complain now after your husband has 5 other kids to think about and countless women that he has slept with?
And then, of all of them, you want to be friends with ANNA? Maybe, this is my opinion, Barb only liked Anna b/c she was new, but soon, she would've found a reason to hate ANNA just like she has the other two!
Do you guys remember in the first season when Nikki and Marge used to call Barb "Bosslady," and seemed to bond w/out her? What ever happend to those days?
I like Nikki and Marge best when they are getting along. They have had times where they've bonded and talked. In this season, when Marge was asking Nikki if she was still in love with Bill... Last season she was really in Nikki's corner on that Ray thing. She was trying to stop the relationship but she didn't blab about it and she was trying to be her friend. Then when Anna came into the picture, they bonded even more. Nikki would also buy Marge gifts and stuff in the first season... So I don't get why they are catty with each other now.
I thought the way Marge handled forcing Nikki out of the workforce last season was cold hearted. I also think Marge has been really catty about Bill regarding the Viagra and the "picking up the slack" comments.
I know Nikki isn't perfect and she's lied and manipulated with the best of them... But she seems to be really trying to get past that and realizing it is due to her upbringing.
