'when Moms attack' episode problems.


I adored this show as a 12-14 year old.
However, I've noticed a few things in this particular episode that rub me the wrong way.

1) First, Lizzie had no reason to be embarrassed by her mom. Everyone else seemed to enjoy Her (including Miranda). Plus she never did one single thing that was embarrassing. She tried her best to be a good leader and make the trip fun for the girls.

2) The girls only pulled the TP prank b/c the BOYS sprayed them with water guns to win the scavenger hunt (or whatever). the teacher never got mad at them. But he scolded Mrs. McGuire for the TP. Apparently it's ok for the boys to pull a prank but not the girls????? That wasn't fair.

3) Lizzie only came to her senses AFTER Mrs. McGuire took the entire blame for the TP prank.

4) Lizzie demanded Kate to apologize to Mrs. McGuire. She didn't really do anything to her. To me Lizzie was meaner to her mom than Kate was. That little speech She gave Kate about her mom stepping in, saving the trip, and taking the blame was hypocritical since it applies to her as well.
