Truly disappointed that Amy fanfic never got made.

>>155395747
So is Haley actually dumb and useless? Why do her friends care more about Chris than her when she's venting right in front of them? Are they saying Mike's mom is right?

>>155395747
What in the fuck is her problem? Even for their situation, this shit is not normal.

>>155395768
Abandoning a toddler because of hurt feefees is bad and Haley's friends recognize that.

>>155395773
How about YOU watch Chris for a few years and then report back, mmkay? You clearly don't understand the struggle.

>>155395768
Because she's basically abandoning her baby brother out of spite.

Over some shit that she could literally talk to both her mom AND mike about but wont. She's letting it bottle up and it probably will until she makes a dumb mistake that has consequences

>>155395768
Anon one thing is showing the mom a lesson according to Haley, the other is leaving Chris alone and bouncing around like a burden, they're just pointing out he's going to be a casualty in this shitfest, it's not like the toddler is arguing in pro of Haley's servitude

>>155395823
If anything we have successfully identified the particular suffering gene of the gray cat: an inability to speak up and solve conflicts until they can't stand it anymore and explode, much to their own detriment. Wouldn't be surprised if that's part of what their parents are fighting about, unspoken resentment that's coming out from a boiling kettle

>>155395806
>>155395823
>>155395835
She's at school right now, how did she abandon him? Unless Haley is supposed to skip school to watch Chris or something

Haley was just supposed to be a little bratty! Not a cold bitch!

Ironically, forcing Mike to take care of Chris would probably remotivate him to live, or at least take better care of himself because responsibilities.

>>155395747
Haleyfags eating poorly, but it does go to show the more attention a character gets from Taeshi the worse they become.

>>155395773
I'm almost starting to think the whole "cut the crap" tagline refers to Haley, but the chapter is still young and there is plenty of bullshit to yet be had.

>>155395867
I'll assume it is accidental on Taeshi's part until disproven.

>>155395747
What the hell's a marking period?

>>155395773
She suffers the dreadful affliction known as "being an angsty teenage girl"

>>155395978
Apparently it's the time between report cards but, yeah, it's not something I'd expect any teenager to say even if they knew it.

>>155395768
>Won't even spare two minutes to hand off lunch to bro
>Instead actually want to steal and eat his lunch out of spite
>Now also wants to ditch her little bro out of spite
Even they can see this is simply cunt behavior.

>>155395869
They mean after school anon, just like when Mike offered because she wasn't around, their parents work different shifts

>>155395874
What? You don't like Lucy lite #3?

>>155395999
I think we called those grade periods, but I can't remember. "Marking" sounds very commonwealth, I wonder if she forgot too and asked an Aussie what it was.

>>155396005
Yeah it really doesn't help her whining about having to deal with Chris when she just pulled something that petty with Mike and threw a bitch fit when people asked her why she couldn't be arsed just giving her brother his lunch. It makes it sound like she has to watch Chris a couple times a week tops and is so bitchy she's exaggerating to make sure everyone knows she's the victim here.
Even if that's intentional on Taeshi's part it's so hamfisted it looks like bullshit.

>>155396005
And easy enough the two characters with better heads on their shoulders, including one that would become CHOLERIC the moment Chris on his lonesome was implied, aren't around, how convenient

>>155396005
Countdown until Haley goes all Lindsay Clancy on poor Chris.

>>155396013
That doesn't mean Chris will go unsupervised though, that just means the mom or the dad (if he's not out cheating) will be watching him. Or maybe Mike. Having someone else watch the toddler every once in a while doesn't mean the kid is getting abandoned lol, the only people suffering here are the parents for having to call a babysitter if they think Mike will kill Chris or something
Maybe they should call Amaya to babysit, then Haley won't need to worry about babysitting Chris ever again

>>155396021
Haley is an active cunt. Lucy is a passive one.

>>155396068
>dad's off cheating or whatever

Haley gave a blanket statement of ill intent, so any implication she would dig in her heels that hard just to spite her mother is profoundly negative.

I feel like this will be a set up for everything to blow up in her face, but when people start dunking on Haley for making a bad decision Taeshi will try her damndest to defend her over it.

>>155396123
>>Mike isn't around
All Mike does is sit in his room looking at his phone. Their mom didn't even consider him as a babysitter because he's too perfect a little boy. Maybe Haley should be the backup for Mike not being around for once.

>>155396163
Chris is gonna get hurt in some way and then everyone will blame her or at least she will blame herself and that's how the divorce is set in motion

Haven't been keeping up with this pig-shit comic, but wowee. Taeshi sure loves ruining characters doesn't she? Maybe she needs some speed-running award for destroying her own webcomic or something. Gotta be a world-record.

Honestly, the stuff she writes now is SO fucking boring, holy fuck. She has absolutely tanked in creativity over the past ten years and it shows hardcore. At least 10 years ago she was Love Again and while it was still shitty it was at least readable.

Yeah guys, its been 10 fucking years since Lucy came back to Roseville and Taeshi has not wrote anything good since then.
What even is the point? Literally nothing interesting happens, every character has the exact same personality and mental disorders.
I never liked Haley before but now she is competing with Lucy for being the biggest turbo cunt in the school.

>>155396182
>All Mike does is sit in his room looking at his phone. Their mom didn't even consider him as a babysitter because he's too perfect a little boy. Maybe Haley should be the backup for Mike not being around for once.
Yeah, and the scenario here is Mike not being available for whatever reason. If Haley holds out in that case, then yes that is abandoning her younger brother. That is the implication of a blanket statement.

>>155396068
Well, Haley's speech in the last panel of the page implies that she believes or hopes that, without her, her mother will have a hard time or no options, so she's sort of betting that Chris will be left without anyone supervising him as punishment for his mother.

>>155396005
she's a woman in bcb so she's right

>>155396068
The thing is if it was a case of the parents offloading the responsability to Haley because they're sleazy and irresponsible it would be a good call to get them off their butts and actually do what they must, but she just mentioned things aren't doing well at home, the parents work differing shifts with the dad not staying around when expected, this is just knowingly adding more fuel into the fire.
Still, these demonstrations are probably just said out loud and in frustration, I don't think that's the focus Taeshi wants for the chapter, it's still too early

>>155395747
Cunt!

>>155396220
That's it, Mike must begin crossdressing.

Honestly it's a little weird here that mom can't just afford daycare or a babysitter. She wears a suit to work, that's code for rich. Rich enough for daycare, anyway.

>>155395747
It's funny how people's perception of this comic has become so weird and obtuse that we specially need her friends to point out how shitty her behavior is. So both people who think this is meant to be good (wether because they think Haley is right, or think Taeshi agrees she is right) can understand that no, this is meant to look bad for her.

>>155396261
>Honestly it's a little weird here that mom can't just afford daycare or a babysitter.


IIRC back when Mike ended up watching him she did mention both of those. But it was a short notice thing and Mike decided to watch him to help his mom out.

Wait, Chris is still at daycare. Baby is safe for now.

you just know Taeshi supports Lindsay Clancy

>>155396262
We still have at least one anon defending Haley in this very thread, so there have to be more in the cult and probably on the subreddit.

They planned to dump him on Haley as always, then stressed about trying to hire a sitter, than considered making the dad take care of it, and then the day was saved by Mike offering to babysit Chris once. And even then he was told he shouldn't have to. Haley is right to be mad.

>>155396219
Surely the reasonable conclusion here is that mom will have to cancel plans or pay for a babysitter. She has to cancel her plans or sacrifice her time for once, not Haley. No one would jump to the conclusion that therefore Chris would just be abandoned.

Of course, the first and most reasonable step here if Child #2 is crashing out over being the designated babysitter is to have Child #1, who has volunteered to do it, be the babysitter for a while. Both Mike and Haley want that arrangement; their mom is objectively playing favorites by treating Mike's time and energy as inherently more valuable.

>>155396261

It means dress code anon, if both parents are working and one need to do the night shift they aren't fucking rich. The only wealthy character in the comic at the moment is, again, Lucy

Sir this is BCB. Haley said she did not care about the Chris situation and was putting her foot down no matter what. Now if Mike is around and can handle it, great. Like you said, he's already willing and the only real obstacle is the mom's attitude. Haley is still a bitch for lashing out instead of hashing out the problem, but it's not the end of the world. Now, if Haley holds fast even while there are no practical options on short notice, yeah she's being a turbocunt. And the problem is that BCB tends to support turbocunts.

>>155396396
>as nuclear family as it gets
I like how recent circumstances have reinforced the idea that nobody really knows what Mike's been going through and just assume stuff.

Where did this US vs THEM bullshit even come from? For now it's all bullshit talk, I'll reserve my judgement until she actually has the guts to look at her brothers in the eyes and walk away

>>155396446
Sure, Haley's having a tantrum about an unfair situation and bitching to her friends instead of confronting her mother correctly. I'm just saying that's a normal level of teenage dysfunction, not premeditated child abandonment.

>>mom was perfectly fine finding someone else if she knew Haley wasn't going to be available
Which shows the problem, which is that their parents just assume they can dump Chris on Haley by default. Also, she's clearly not perfectly fine with it, she's stressed out, that's why Mike is offering in the first place.

The next page the mom says Haley should babysit because she's not acing her tests. Maybe Haley should spend more time on her homework and less time making sure Chris doesn't eat the tide pods.

>>155396490
I agree, teenagers talk mad shit all the time, it's just letting out her frustrations until she has to actually do it

>>155396490
>I'm just saying that's a normal level of teenage dysfunction, not premeditated child abandonment
Right, and what I'm saying is that Haley just bitching and exaggerating her intent would be fine. She's a dumb teenager, it happens. My point is that if Haley literally follows through on her threat in panel 2, with no consideration for how it affects her younger brother because fuck mom here's her pissy revenge, that's stupid cunt territory.

Great, yet another boring page and another thread that will barely reach ~180 replies, that are full of manufactured outrage just to keep shit semi-active.

>>155396504
Mike should knock up his mom

>>155396530
You can tell in that third focus panel how he's just realized this is also something he's going to be responsible for. I'm not saying blamed because at this point he already believes he's scum

>>155396530
>their parents just assume they can dump Chris on Haley by default
Unless they can't, because as already established they do respect the fact she has other plans. The mom is panicking specifically because she has no good alternative options in place, excluding Mike. This whole complaint is just taking a moody teenage girl's at her word and assuming "all the time" is not a turn of phrase but proof of enslavement. It's retarded.

>>155395945
>We just need to counter this with beatings and rape-correction fics.
Pretty sure I had a pic of Mike fucking Haley with both of them injured and Haley telling Mike to go fuck himself, but I have no idea if it's on this computer or if someone knows what I'm talking about.

>>155396574
I think it's just Mike mentally kicking himself for not living up to this perfect son image the mom seems to have.

>>155396446
>Now if Mike is around and can handle it, great. Like you said, he's already willing and the only real obstacle is the mom's attitude.
No, this threat only works if Mike isn't around to wacth chris. Which means she expects Chris to be left alone long enough for the mom to notice, hire a sitter - which she seems to believe is unlikely- or the threat lacks weight otherwise, or for Mike's grade to tank because he is watching Chris. The latter is something she would definitely want since she has shown she wants "Mr.Perfect" to be taken down a peg.
>>155396490
I'd assume that too if we hadn't already seen her ditch, Chris>>155396342. Haley didn't seem to indicate she believed Mike would come down to watch him, so for all she knew, she ditched the baby.

Also, looking at, >>155396530, seems Haley's friend was right that Mike is well aware that shit is not good.

I'll be honest: if that happened, Mike would forever be the golden boy unless Chris turns out even better. I can't imagine being so spiteful that you fuck some guy and get knocked up; though, knowing BCB, we would pivot to an abortion arc to jump the shark.

Mike acknowledges that Haley always watches Chris and they watch TV together. He doesn't even know what Chris does all evening, thank fuck he's old enough to talk or Mike would end up killing him

>>155396803
The problem with your argument is that 1) the dad was supposed to be available as per the phone call, 2) the mom was also supposed to be available until the last minute event came up, so if Haley isn't expecting her absence to matter it's not done with that purpose, it's just a teenager that saw a chance to hang outside and took it, and no one judged her for that, just considered it was bad timing

>>155396910
Fair point, but why is Haley using the time between report cards for her threat? Is she hoping to catch up to Mike or for Mike to drop, or both? It's such an odd thing.

I am somehow preferring this drama over the usual shit so far. Likely because no one has gone completely insane yet.

>>155396961
>time between report cards
That's a basic time frame of reference for teenagers in high school.
Also their mom told Mike that he didn't have to watch Chris because he's doing good in school so maybe actually getting good grades will give Haley an opportunity to get the same treatment Mike gets

>>155396961
It makes sense in that the reason she's "put aside" is her grades, in theory if she get better grades with more free time and Mike got worse grades with less then it's reasonable that as long as she has to focus on Chris she won't get better so the punishment only makes things worse, and it would be a good argument for the parents to get a babysitter instead. The question is how come the dumb teenager came to such a conclusion

>>155396985
>getting good grades will give Haley an opportunity to get the same treatment Mike gets
I'm 50/50 if this will work. More so, we know so little about Haley that she could either be actually studying or dicking around with her friends. It depends on whether this chapter will show what she does or overly focus on her seething. Latter which will pretty much just make her look spiteful.

>>155397039
>I'm 50/50 if this will work
It won't, that wouldn't be good for the kind of drama this comic thrives on. Everyone has to fail and it all has to be Mike's fault, that's the point of this shitty webcomic

>>155397039
I guess it depends on what she does on her free time or on her time with Chris, because her competition is getting good grades despite being half dead and using all his energy to stay upright. Like so far Chris is a very nice little guy, I find it hard that she can't grab a book and read next to him while he watches Little panda fighter for the nth time

>>155395747
God damn Haley you are such a delusional selfish fucking cunted cunt bitch ass hussy.
Its almost as if your mother trusts you far far more watching over your young baby/toddler brother. Then she would with Mike who has repeatedly shown he is far to retarded to watch over his younger brother. Being sofa king we tar did within the span of 5mins.

For 5 god damn mins, cause those little fuckers, are magnets for causing a massive mess,hurting themselves&hurting others accidentally etc etc.
Boom two black eyes cant even do a simple god damn task. Instead he is being a peak 201X zoomer fucking glued to his god damn phone screen ignoring reality. Ignoring something simple his mother asked him to do what with raising him wasting tens of thousands of dollars doing so. Praying he will be very succsesful and take care of them when they are elderly. Which with how things are going and the way Mike is acting. Its 50/50 its all on Halely because Mike an hero'd and its another 50/50 Haley fucked off by the time shes 22 never speaking/seeeing-visting her family yes even if someone died.

>>155396871
That does seem suitably Mike, especially at this point in his life.

>>155397098
i have three ideas for that

1) She just gets so irritated by it that she doesnt think to do so and just wants it to be over.
2)Chris is just THAT much of a handful, which I cant see happening
3) Taeshi, due to her own lack of experience watching children most likely, thinks it would be way harder to watch a toddler than it actually is and didnt think it through.

Drama incoming: Haley is right about the divorce.

My prediction: Mike chooses his mom, Chris is left with mom because Dad is never around to watch him anyway, then Haley chooses his dad to avoid being a permanent babysitter, and now Mike is in jeopardy because he now has to watch Chris and never sees his sister anymore.

Also Mike's dad is called Frank, apparently.

>>155395747
If only there was another bitchy girl cat who wanted to bpd her way into Mike's life. I hope that is not what Taeshi is setting up, but we do know Lucy is great with kids and Chris likes her. If Mike's mom doesn't know what happened between them, I could see that being how this plot goes, although it would push Lucy to a level of irredeemable bitch that I didn't think it was possible to reach.

>>155397304
Based on how dad is acting, going with him isn't gonna be an option. He doesn't seem to want to be in his kids' lives.

To be fair, it was only a matter of time before the man realised having three kids with his sister wasn't a good idea. Abandoning the retards and trying a fresh start is the only way out

She doesn't know that yet (which makes it all the more ironic)

>>155397098
Mike's depression is recent enough in-universe that it might not be reflected in his grades yet. It's only been like 2 months since Eternal Flame, and he spent the first half of that time on an upswing.

This comic is paced like cold tar.

>>155397304
Consider Haley's whole deal of anger is at her mom and not at her dad while the divorce is mining at her mind, it means either she thinks too highly of him which seems unlikely or doesn't consider him enough, so that's probably a no to living with him right away at least
