Just my opinion butizzythecat wrote:Ruby has commented several times that Julie is not complaining about the pain from her braces. This does not surprise me because of how Ruby would treat her if she acted like she was. Julie has learned to suppress her emotions and pain in fear of Ruby and that is very sad. Meanwhile, Russell who is only two years younger than Julie gets babied every day. I don't understand this woman.

Julie cries all the time when she's upset or in pain, i've never seen her suppress any emotions. She's cried when she has to deal with Eve, she's cried when she ripped her favorite underwear, she's cried when her earrings became infected, she's cried when the pool was closed and she couldn't swim, just to name a few. I actually feel she wears her emotions on her sleeve which is why we always make assumptions about how she's treated.
Also, I wouldn't say that Russell gets babied everyday. I see many examples of how she's teaching him independence, such as having him pay for his own stuff at the store, preparing his lunch sometimes, taking his music lessons even when he doesn't want too, and getting his clothes organized. We also do not see her discipline methods.
