​​@@SunnyMoonwilluploadin True. And based off another comment I just read, she even FORCED Greg to play basketball, despite knowing very well how bad he is at it. And all that just so she can relieve her middle school balling days. P.S. Whenever Greg actually DOES have interest in something, Susan takes it and chucks it out the window. She opened a book club and Greg was actually excited about showing the books he had. And what did she do? Disproved of his choice and made him read classic books like Old Yeller, Little Women and Moby Dick (maybe it was Tale of Two Cities, idk), the stuff she read when she was Greg's age. She's also been shown to be a massive hypocrite and an overall bad parent. In the DOAWK book Old School, she forced the entire town to go without electronics for the entire weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, by getting a hundred signatures on some damn petition. When Greg ran away with Frew and Billy (who's in Community Service for stealing a pack of sour gummy worms), she tracked Greg by using a PHONE APP to track his location with a sensor that was in his shoelace. Worst part is, she never told Greg about this.

Greg becomes interested in Dungeons and Dragons, so Susan insists on playing along too and blocking every in-game decision that Greg tries to make. Susan starts a book club because she claims that she wants to get Greg interested in reading- Greg brings along a book he is actually excited about and wants to read, Susan declares it unsuitable and insists that they all read the classic kids books that *she* likes instead.

Susan and Frank are defined by how they view the past, and how they go about trying to control the narrative. Frank hated his time in middle school - he was a nerdy kid who got bullied, just like Greg, and tried to get his son to be a "man" so that he could like vicariously though him, but ultimately gave up and neglected his family because he didn't get what he wanted. He dislikes Roderick because he's rebellious and probably sees a lot of his own bullies in him. He dislikes Greg because he reminds him of his worst years, but has no aspirations to fix that and just dreams of being rich and famous without putting in any effort. He doesn't yet dislike Manny because, well... "he's onwy thwee" and can still be molded into a tool for him to make himself feel better about his past. Susan is nostalgia personafied; she too tries to relive her past, but only as she remembers it - nobody else gets to have a say in her narrative. She tries to get devices banned so that everything's like her childhood, she treats all her children as if they're infants because she wants to always have the omnipotent control over them she had when they were children, she forces them to do things with her because she's deluding herself into believing she's the "cool mom" who all her children love, and she domineers Frank because he's the only other person with the level of control she has, and he wants to _rewrite_ the past rather than just relive it. Frank might put his sons down for disappointing him, but Susan goes beyond even that. When she found out how bad Greg was at basketball after forcing him to do it to relive her days as a player, she TRADES HIM TO THE RIVAL TEAM IN HOPES THAT HE MAKES THEM LOSE. Having your mom care more about her favorite team winning a game (a MIDDLESCHOOL GAME no less) than about your self-esteem has to hurt. Thankfully, she gets her just desserts; Greg gets the winning shot and celebrates with the team she hoped would be brought down by him, while she has to stew in her plans being foiled. Greg is a lot more like the two of them than he'd care to admit though. Where his parents take refuge in the past, Greg takes solace in the future, dreaming up a scene where he's rich and famous. He rejects reality and never tries to actually put the effort needed to make that dream a reality though. He also tries to live vicariously in the future by setting up a dynamic with Rowley where Rowley puts in the effort and Greg reaps the rewards. Roderick is the only one of them to actually have a realistic perspective. He doesn't delude himself and try to control the story, he just puts the effort in to make his wishes a reality. He _is_ a drummer for a band, he _does_ have fans, and based on what we see of how he does take responsibility for cleaning up his messes, he's got everything he needs to actually have the life he wants, instead of projecting it onto other people.

I’m sure that chainsaw didn’t even have the chain on it. I know from experience. I’ve been with my dad to a haunted hayride and one of the costumed people in the woods is a guy with a chainsaw. I remember the first ride, he pretended to saw my legs off with that chainsaw, but I wasn’t hurt because the chainsaw didn’t have the chain.

@@hunterolaughlin Yeah, imagine the lawsuits if they did have the chains on them

[@kawee1]

That was in the first book I think

[@mariotuber2866]

Yep

[@lordkinesis4432]

I like to think she tried suing the haunted house after and failed.

i remember when i was little i had fish and was absolutely FURIOUS at Susan for putting Greg's fish in with Rodrick's fish

[@dmk12345]

It was more of her putting Rodrick's fish with Greg's, but it was still stupid.

Plus Greg didn't even get time to mourn about it as they are supposed to meet Grandpa for Brunch. And when Greg told dad what's wrong, he dismisses it and say he never heard of a pet dying before and throws the "Nutty and the Butterfly Farm" story around, a lot.

Susan lets Manny have "friends" and lets him get away with stuff he does because "its his 'friends' fault" and he would be "traumatised" if someone told him the truth. and yet when Greg had the same phase when he was a child.. yeah, you know. apparently Gregs feelings doesn't matter much. especially compared to Manny.
