User blog comment:IronRaphRa/A Problem with Lincoln/@comment-4618045-20180120175424

If you believe that’s a problem, then I think you should also acknowledge instances where the show has given the sisters a break. In “A Fridge Too Far”, I think it’s everyone’s fault for escalating the situation. In “Chore and Peace”, everyone backed down from their chores. To me, I think what we’ve been seeing in more recent episodes is an attempt to go back on some of the show’s earlier flaws. Lincoln has a habit of assuming responsibility and denying himself gains even when others get it, so now the show wants to give him a break from that. Basically, what the others are telling Lincoln is “You’re too honest for your own good; accept pleasure for a change”. Even in one episode you cited (“Mall of Duty”), Lincoln was about to assume responsibility until his sisters covered for him. So with that, I think the sisters wanna give back to Lincoln while cutting him some slack. After all, he’s only a kid.
