* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Judy is noticeable harder on Reggie than with Dustin. She constantly pressures her to give up her immature interests and to act more mature in general, and to enjoy more feminine things like dress shopping or makeup - even though Judy herself does not dress up most of the time, usually wearing a t-shirt with sweatpants, unless it's a special occasion. Whereas Dustin is a sullen teenager who is a conspiracy theorist and makes fun of and antagonizes Reggie, yet Judy is never shown reprimanding him or punishing him, the most she does is react with mild annoyance/exasperation or something along the lines of "Seriously?". Is this a case of her (unintentionally) enacting a double standard on her kids, as it's very common for girls to be expected to mature faster than boys? Has she given up on expecting Dustin to be better behaved and in turn favors Reggie and focuses more on her? Was Judy herself bullied as a kid for being a tomboy and still feels self conscious about it in the present?

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Reggie. Some hate her for being annoying, gross, immature, and selfish, not learning or growing from or owning up to her mistakes, and who's self centered actions harm her friends. On the flip side, others find enjoyable and sympathetic for being an eccentric but immature preteen afraid of growing up and having peers and adults who don't understand and look down on her, and make her feel like she has to change herself, which in turn makes her act out. The fact she IS a preteen makes her behavior more understandable.
