Viewers feel bad Mary always puts Sheldon first

Not all "Young Sheldon" fans hate Mary Cooper (https://www.looper.com/897755/why-not-every-young-sheldon-fan-hates-mary/). Some feel that she tries hard to be there for everyone and is often betrayed or ignored by those she tries to support. Others think she's too judgemental and overbearing, forcing everyone around her to do what she wants. But most of the negativity fans feel towards Mary stems from her apparent preference for Sheldon, as seen in Season 4, Episode 18, when she immediately takes his side without asking Missy what happened. Viewers were upset that Mary seemed oblivious to her daughter's sadness and felt terrible that Mary punished her without even talking to her.

"Missy was crying this time, so that should have been a sign to Mary that there was another side to this situation," u/Nar_whally (https://www.reddit.com/r/YoungSheldon/comments/ngdw9j/comment/gyr3p4p/) said on a "Young Sheldon" Reddit thread. "She should have apologized and tried to hear Missy's side first, or Mary should have asked George for the entire story before going in to talk to Missy."

Regardless of why Missy was upset, some viewers also think she shouldn't have ripped up Sheldon's photo, with Redditor u/jiddinja (https://www.reddit.com/r/YoungSheldon/comments/ngdw9j/comment/gyqekiu/) writing, "Ripping up a sibling's possessions is never justified. While I agree she often gives Sheldon the benefit of the doubt, where she's tougher on Missy and Georgie, Mary was right about laying down the law on this one."

Tearing up Sheldon's picture is what got Missy grounded. To me, someone should've told her that tearing other people's property isn't going to make the situation better. If anything, it might only make her ex-boyfriend even more turned off where she is concerned.

God bless you always!!!
