HS can still be as important to Minnie as Babita is and have his independent equation with her.
Also, we get mad at Babita because we want her to make the most of this second chance and not squander it, not because we don't care for her. If we didn't, we'd just overlook her choices and decisions.
THIS. Thank you. It really gets too much here with how criticism of Babita gets twisted into some kind of bias against her. For me atleast, that's not the case. I get fed up of her tantrums and I rant about her, yes.....but I don't have some vendetta against her character.
As women, we all want to root for Babita's journey...it's depressing and frustrating when she instead keeps devolving....where I disagree with is people claiming that Babita is devolving at the cost of other characters....that supposedly Mini is being venerated so that Babita can be made to look bad.....not true.
If the writers are writing Babita this way, it's not to make Mini look great.....they seem more interested in pushing the limits of how "flawed" certain women can be.....Mini is a foil to Babita....and she has her own flaws that get raised from time to time.....Babita's flaws are front and center to drive the story however the writers want to take it right now.....she's the woman in this story, not Mini.....Mini is still a kid who's trying to support her mom whenever her mom falters....she's a kid wise beyond her years.....I'm not sure why that's such a cause for so much resentment.....if Babita is a mess, it's not cuz of Mini.....Mini is the one trying to make her rise however she can manage....yes, she also makes mistakes, goes about it the wrong way from time to time but she's not the one to blame here.
Babita's issues are fundamental personality issues that have nothing to do with how Mini is.
