Mrs. Baker, Larry's mother, her job was more important than..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

....getting her son's ears checked? I know she mentioned she couldn't get time off, but that was her son! Most jobs are reasonable when it comes to that! Florida was virtually a stranger, and she left her son in the hands of a stranger while she go to work as, for crying out loud, a cocktail waitress!

Yeah, i mean, there are times when $$ and the bills come first, but never before the health of your child.

I do agree. Sometimes hard working parents can miss something through the cracks as a result of working too hard or thinking that their children are just acting up. Sometimes that is not the case. My Brother N Law thought that my niece (at age 4 1/2) was bumping into wall on purpose when it turned out that she really needed glasses and I was right. She was extremely near sighted for someone her age at that time. I am glad the he and my sister got her to the doctor for an eye exam. I know that Mrs. Baker was upset and all but she should have been mad with herself, not Florida!

I totally agree, and I'm sure that he wasn't the only kid she had, so juggling work and her other kids, sometimes you just miss things.

...and Larry was right on the money. His mother should've known, not Florida.
