Ross and Monica's parents are horrible, favoring one child and treating the other like she is just OK. The room, her stuff and the loss of the wedding funds. Ross became kinda wimpy by the pampering and Monica became suuuuuper stressed and competitive

[@bricktam]

I totally agree. And there was never a definite closure with her mother, besides a couple of them in the fourth season. She needed to apologize to Monica. At least her father compensated by giving her his Porsche.

America is particularly weird about it. Out to college and see you later (or hardly ever after). American parents are often heard speaking of their home, theirs alone. It’s strange.

[@bricktam]

First off, I just wish to say that I think Monica was always treated unfairly by her parents and she deserved better. But it is super clear that she never saved up the way her parents taught her, which makes me root for Ross at times. It was so unfair that her parents never paid for her wedding, but this explains why she literally had no money and tried to pressure Chandler into giving up his savings.

[@jwill5892]

The character of Monica is a lot smarter than that so I don't know why they made her do that

[@Vyselink]

So unfair that her parents never paid for her wedding? Why should parents have to pay for ANY wedding? I've always found that tradition to be incredibly stupid, even immoral. "Mom, Dad, I know you paid to raise me for nearly 20 years (and possibly college), but now I've met someone and I'd like you to spend thousands more of your money to pay for that".

[@TumblinWeeds]

Hey ma and pa, where’s that part of your retirement fund I get to blow on fancy invitation cards and exorbitant decorations?

[@jclyntoledo]

@@Vyselink I'm pretty sure they are saying it's unfair of them not to pay since they paid for Ross's wedding. So if they are paying for one child why wouldn't they pay for the other. That was the point they were making.

[@valhallamcgaughey3720]

@vyselink Parents do not have to pay for their kids’ weddings. However, in this show it is clear that Monica’s parents told her they would pay for her wedding whenever she got married. Monica freely mentions the Monica Wedding Fund around them and later in the series they tell her they did save money for her wedding but then spent it on other things. I think it is unfair of them to lead her to believe they will pay and never tell her they changed their minds until she’s engaged. She didn’t think she needed to save for a wedding. She even had different wedding scenarios planned out because she didn’t know exactly what her parents’ budget would be.

[@jennynyle89]

Watching Ross and Monica is like watching me and my brother being treated unfairly. I'm the one who always had to be tougher and my brother can easily get help from them since he's their favorite. And since he's the favorite child, he could never do wrong. Lol. Even if he did wrong, they would do their best to cover him. And the worst part would be me having to face consequences of his bad behaviors. Like when my parents become paranoid of me going out with friends just because my brother lied to them about going out to tuition classes but instead he went out meeting his gf back then. Is that fair?

[@supermilkguy]

If love was fair, would it taste as bitter? Todd and Monica are like siblings. Your brother went to tuition classes and stood up for fair trade coffee roasters. And chocolatiers. It isn’t fair.

one reason monica might have had money problems is that her type of job is spotty in terms of pay as was her roommate situation yet bills are steady also it doesn't take long to burn through savings say you have 5 thousand in the bank that is 2 months of rent bills and grocery at best

The fat shaming and homophobia on this show... I miss the 90s

[@poluticon]

good times! Comedy is so vanilla now.

[@MJN_SEIFER]

Neither of those things were present in this show. I understand people seeing fat shaming, but it's ultimately just friends joking with each other and (if they were real) they'd probably stop if they were actually offending her (overthinking it, I know, but that's the vibe I get from these scenes.) Friends is one of the last places you'll find homophobia though - it treats being gay like exactly what it is; normal, and "worst" it does is make jokes about straight people not wanting to look gay (which is worthy of playful mockery - who cares if you look gay?) other than that, it's just simple stereotype jokes (which aren't at all hateful), metaphorical scenes (characters of the same sex have a conversation that makes them sound married/dating/divorced/broken up) and at least one subversion/parody. I'd even say that with shows like Friends around in many of our childhoods or at least from when we were younger (I started watching around 2005/2006) that I am surprised homophobia still exists, due to how "normalized" being gay was (even though it *is* normal) within the show, and how the overall vibe was it doesn't and shouldn't matter.
