#I have my issues w odalia's character and how she's written in CoTH but this line is just. yeah. thats SO right for her

I've 100% made a post like this before but sometimes I think about how these lines are so much more controlling than if they had flat-out just said no to Amity. 

Amity’s wants are seen childish, yes, but they’re also given validation by her parents, only if she chooses the right people. She wants a friend? Fine, so long as they’re one of the kids her parents approve of. She wants a girlfriend? Fine, so long as it’s someone Odalia approves of. It gives her the allusion of meeting in the middle when in reality it’s Amity having exactly zero control over her own life. and it’s really well-written.
