is exactly how I speak to my toddler when they’re having a melt down at bed time when im trying to keep my cool and manage their ”big feelings”
”it’s okay you’ve had a long day”
”you’re just tired “
that was gentle parenting 101 and tells me all I need to know.
I think has may have been trying to activate Danny season 1 and make Danny the villain (probably to deflect off him) but Nia intercepted it too much .
I am rewatching season 1 and there are a couple things I’m noticing.
the pantsing Danny. thinking maybe he did this trying to set him off but it just upset Nia and it backfired
when jax says he wants to apologise he wants to have a guys night and buy Danny “a few beers” to apologize. I think this was a plan to get him away from his and get him drunk to see if he could get him acting an ass on camera hit again didn’t work
On a side note it’s also clear from the very beggining jax and Brittany are trying to throw anyone they can under the bus from the start and trying to detonate crazy Kristin
simulatepushy jax invited kristins ex to guys night and Brittany let it slip Kristen was telling people Janet called Michelle racist
I see a lot of people calling Nia out for her first reaction to lala defending her was to mind her own business
but I think people need to give some grace here and think about it a little harder. Nia knows Danny’s patterns way better than we do and likely her actions/thought are a direct management of those especially when he’s being cruel like that to her.
lala stepped in and Danny immediately got mad at Nia and started DEMANDING he go defend his honour which is comical on many levels but in this moment despite his coming at Nia for Lalas decision Tod defend her Nia defends lala back. she tells him no if he’s going to speak to her like that she’s not going to defend his behaviour which is probably the most she can push back and she from what we see holds her ground.
i dont think she meant it as lala shut up fully she’s saying her FIRST thought was mind your business which then turned into almost relief she was speaking up. I think it just shows us how conditioned she is to think that was a normal marital fight lala shouldn’t be involved in and then lalas words shattered the image and she was like wait -ok this isn’t normal
