User blog comment:Weavillain/What Are Some "The Loud House" Fanfiction Tropes That You Can't Stand?/@comment-4618045-20170911200610

This one may sound weird and/or hypocritical, because I've read plenty of good stories where this happens unintentionally. I can overlook it either because it's not a central part of the story or, if it is, it comes down more to personal preference than any demerit the writer has.

But generally, I don't like it when stories assume that Lori is the only person that is capable of holding even the tiniest sliver of responsibility.

I know what you're thinking: In "No Guts No Glori", that's exactly what they tried to prove via babysitting. Barring the parents (of course), it MUST be reasonable to conclude that only Lori can keep the house together.

The problem I have with that, though, is that it places such little faith in the other siblings that I can't help but what wonder what's gonna happen once Lori goes off to college. Is someone else gonna pick up the slack or is it just gonna turn into that scene from "No Guts No Glori"? There's clearly no effort to delegate responsibility to some of the other older characters in these stories and I can't help but wonder how some of these people feel to be fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen and have no idea how to assume responsibility because they've never been dealt it.

Again, I 100% realize that this is my personal opinion and I know that writers rarely do this with ill-intent or cold calculated deliberation, but it's something that just makes me ask questions when I see it. Then again, I am a weird person that notices weird things, so call me out if this sounds ridiculous
