[quote=eavesdropper]Allan, I’m with you on the parental responsibility thing. But, as I mentioned on an earlier post, Lisa just doesn’t seem to realize that the kids ARE her responsibility. The disconnect is alarming. Her affect is one of “who are these kids, and how did they get here”. What really makes the whole effect bizarre is that they all look like her – her son’s face is a carbon copy of hers.
It’s difficult to tell from a heavily-edited TV show like SN, but, overall, they seemed to be pretty nice kids. It’s a shame.[/quote]
Eavesdropper: Please forgive my putting on my armchair psychologist hat for a moment, but it looks like Lisa suffers from extreme narcissism. I’d imagine she’s more about the appearances than the reality, as evidenced by the “custom home” and getting her kids “noticed” and her husband’s successful “insurance business” (which has all the hallmarks of being a franchise operation at best).
I think someone told her that she needed children to complete the “happy family” picture, so she had them. You certainly don’t get the sense that she wants them, or even understands what it means to be a parent, but you have the definite sense that she understands image, perception and spin.
According to her posting in the Comments section of the PE, she “wrote” the Press-Enterprise article so that Barack Obama, the President of the United States, would become aware of the fraud being perpetrated by the banks. Think about that one for a second. Her cheese has either slid completely off the cracker, or she genuinely believes that Obama is sitting down every evening by the fireside with a copy of the Press-Enterprise and, once he reads this article, he will spring into action on her behalf and the rest of the “victims”. Kinda scary when you think about it. Talk about the shallow end of the gene pool.
