User blog comment:Weavillain/Is It Just Me or Are The "Mean" Sisters the Most Enjoyable?/@comment-31563773-20170430172049

I've said this before in Austin's topics, but I think the whole 'nice' and 'mean' titles are pretty muddled at this point. No matter how you look at it, all of the sisters have some of the same traits. The characters that are generally nice have jerkish traits while the mean ones have nice qualities, and because of that I don't find any of the sisters boring. Lisa's stoic attitude and general bluntness is really fun to watch and write about in my opinion.

As for Lori...sometimes I think she could be seen as a second mother to the siblings. There's some underlying fear with her that she's afraid her siblings won't need her for anything anymore (such is the fact when growing up), and it really brings out the Teen Mom feel from her. When you take into consideration how she keeps the house from falling apart when the parents are out, and generally controlling 10 kids at once, her attitude is justified at times.
