The Fitzgerald Parents

I do not think that the Fitzgerald parents did a good job treating their three children equally, especially Jesse.  Jesse has been the odd one out since the beginning.  When Kate first got diagnosed with leukemia, Jesse was constantly getting dragged from babysitter to babysitter.  Overtime he began to drop out of the family even more.  When he was older, he moved out to the area above the garage.  I think he did this because he didn't want to have to deal with them anymore.  I understand that most teenagers are like this and annoyed with their parents.  This only part of why he moved out.  He moved out because he got tired of not being noticed.  He was needed in the whole scheme of getting Kate better unlike Anna, so his parents could care less what he did.  I think his parents missed out watching him grow up.

Jesse also got in a lot of trouble which I think is related to his parents not watching over him.  He got into drinking and smoking.  He has a big drinking problem because anytime someone does come around him they can tell that he is drunk.  He makes his own moonshine using a crock pot which stinks up his entire room.  Jesse took the judge’s Hummer for a joyride.  This was his most recent offense.  The worst thing that I think he did was he burned up a bunch of abandoned buildings until his dad caught him in the act.  I don’t understand how a parent could be so careless to not know that their own child was doing these things.
