Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 18, 2016

No, you think about it. A child who is told that someone else exists solely to do her bidding grows up to expect that in the world, and finds life very difficult. Toni at the very least should have been able to require Jonah to explain to Shannon that the pool has to be postponed because he did not check with Toni first, and did not understand that she had a prior commitment. It should be Jonah who tells his daughter that she has to wait for swimming, and go with Toni to her meeting. That is going to be enough of a problem for Toni, but she does not have to be turned into a monster by either telling her future husband ‘no’ or telling her niece ‘no’.

And if you are saying that Shannon would go to the pool on her own, in most apartment complexes these days, liability laws require locking gates to avoid exactly this kind of thing, unaccompanied children drowning in a pool.

I have become so disappointed in all of this that I guess I’ll just have to wait until the arcs with Jonah in them are finished. This disgusting self-centered act of his, teaching his daughter to similarly expect the world to always do what the two of them want, spoils my day enough that I will have to spend time away from this ’toon.
