* AbusiveParents: Her mother is very emotionally abusive towards her, being generally emotionally distant throughout Janine's childhood and ignoring any of Janine's attempts to reach out to her unless she needs something from her. Janine frequently had to be the responsible one even as a child due to her mother being incredibly irresponsible. And when Vanetta does show up to meet Janine, it's purely to emotionally manipulate her into paying for her phone bills. [[FreudianExcuse A lot of Janine's clinginess and people-pleasing nature stems from growing up with her mom's emotional abuse.]]

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Subverted, Barbara initially bumps heads with her due to the new policies she implements for the library, even threatening to file an official complaint. However, as Gregory points out, the new rules are only meant to make the library run more effectively (e.g., requiring that Barbara actually check out the books she takes to read to her students, requiring that she reserve space in the library before bringing her entire class in) and are fairly reasonable, regardless of Barbara's dislike of change.
