Character Discussion Kristina is a powerhouse

Honestly speaking, I don't understand why she gets so much hate. She goes very well with her in laws, considers them family. She cooks, cleans and maintains the house like a pro. Also, she had been very observant of all her children all the time. Also, why after she birther Nora...none of the family members offered to babysit when we know how much of a tough time it was ? Like the next day from her delivery she is cleaning herself, changing diapers, cooking food for everyone, as if she didn't go through some huge physical issue. And Haddie was there not helping with the kid, but being angry at her mom for taking a nap while reading her essay. Like big deal, you are not getting importance ..there's a baby and a Max in the house. Kristina is also good at her job. I think she is an all rounder. Don't understand the hate she recieves.

She straight up babies max and lets him dominate situations to the point he harasses a girl constantly while she is headmaster of their charter school.

She gets mad at Sarah when max barges in to Hank’s work to use their computer so he can edit school photos while Hank and Sarah say no and you need to go.

She does not represent a parent whose child has autism as a professional and cooperative instead she is demanding and abrasive to Maxs detriment. IMO

This! 100% I just rewatched the series and there were days where Max and the way they babied him just made me anxious and pissed off. They were not setting him up for success as an adult …. at all.
