is the wheeler family really that bad or are they just not close in the same exact way that the byers are for reasons that are out of their control?

is karen really a neglectful mother or is she just out of the loop on everything that's actually happened these past few years and as such not able to comfort her kids effectively, which paired with them not being the type to open up with her much to begin with, especially mike, only exacerbates that and makes her think that they're just growing up and pulling away from her as teens tend to do?

are the wheelers both neglectful or are we just seeing what it was like to be a kid in that time pre-tech revolution where you said you were gonna go out and play and your parents had no way whatsoever of getting a hold of you until you came back home?

and judging with how tight-lipped mike is about just near everything, would we really expect him OR nancy to tell the truth when grilled about anything related to the upside down? especially when we know that they DO love their families and don't want to endanger any more innocent people?

hmmm 🤔

#they're not perfect parents obviously but i don't think that nancy or mike hate them and i don't think the duffers intentionally wrote #them to be bad. i think that you just have to suspend your disbelief a bit with the parents so that the duffers could wait until s5 to make #them aware of monsters and stuff. idk. just my opinion tho so who care :p #*and when i say bad i mean Bad and neglectful like lonnie was. that they COULD be closer but sometimes #ppl in fandom talk abt karen n ted as if they're like lonnie or billy's dad and i'm just like ._. ...#which is what i'm referring to here
