What did Big Bob see in her?

>>94296810
She probably use to have more energy and confidence before big bob raped their daughter and she started drinking.

pussy game ridiculous

she fun when young

>>94296810
Smoothies.

>>94298619
Do you think in this day and age they could drop the smoothies and just admit she was an alcoholic.

They were probably both highschool star athletes with great rep at school but were also kind of dumb because rushing into marriage and all.
Basically, young sweethearts that felt the bitterness of being in a married life, luckily they have good genes and Olga turned out to be a prodigy but was also kind of dumb, like her parents, again rushing into marriage with that ass Doug was anything but smart.

>>94296810
I can only imagine she's super passive, and Bob can fuck her in the ass at will, and she'll just take it.

>>94298890
and this is somehow bad?

>>94296810
>What did Big Bob see in her?
HIMSELF!

>>94299055
It's an abusive relationship and Bob is a malignant narcissist.
>Overbearing businessman
>Wanted a stay-at-home wife while he ran a business
>Got her pregnant twice so she couldn't emasculate him by earning more
>Only gives a shit about his first-born daughter because she wins awards
>Only gives a shit about his other daughter when she has a chance to win an award or she goes missing
>Gives no shits about what Miriam thinks so long as she spends more time at home than working
>Enables Miriam's alcoholism so she can't wise-up and leave him
>Shouts at her when she fails to do the house-work/shopping despite not contributing anything to the house-hold himself but money
He sees her as something to control for his own ends.
If the Patakis got a second lease on life, this and Miriam trying to kick the habit could be the plot to a story-arc

Didn't she have an episode when she had fun with Helga?

>>94296810
She pretty much does whatever bob asks without arguing.

>>94300268
Yep. It implied that Mariam used to do a lot of things before marrying bob. And if you get her off the sauce then she can do good things. She ran bob's business better than he did

His dick.

>>94296810
Someone who won't see the man he really is and divorce him.

So had Bob. The Pataki family's lessons never stick.

>>94296810

Even after years of alcoholism, she's still pretty hot. Before all that, she was a vivacious and smart young woman. Young Miriam was pretty clearly a 10/10.

That's all a man needs to provide idiot. You understand that their entire lives would be destroyed if he stopped working, while not doing housework is just a mild inconvenience. Is housework so much to ask of a wife?

Helga got scouted as a model

I can just imagine her after getting gaped and 'pied' she just walks to the bathroom without so much of a word and tears falling from her eyes.

>>94300231
/co/mblr is real.

>>94296856
But can she make good coffee?

>>94300231
That's a lot of conjecture there, /co/mblr. Bob's only major crime is emotional abuse towards his daughters, and even then it's more of an accident than anything else.

Just a little bit of attention goes a long way with her.

So do you think she drank while pregnant? Does that explain Helga's uggo looks compared to her sister Olga - along with academically succeeding her?

Olga got Miriam's looks; Helga looks like Bob.

Both of them are intelligent but Olga just does more with it because of pressure from her parents.

Fucking delicious.

Look, I don't really go in for the idea that women can't be abusive or can't bring equal levels of shit to a relationship. But Bob barely had any humanizing moments in Hey Arnold, a show where nearly everyone got the benefit of the doubt most of the time.

The show just generally wasn't interested in making Miriam and Bob as bad as each other. Bob was pretty much always the source of the Patakis problems. That's just how it was.

>>94309471
Didn't this episode prove that she is an idiot?

>>94314573

She seemed more flustered by Helga's criticism than anything else and just kept making more and more mistakes because of it.

>>94313746
Well here's the thing if you have a full time worker at 40+ hours per week and then a stay at home partner then yeah it's perfectly reasonable for the full time worker to have a minimal role in housework except for special occasions.

>>94314845
Not even talking about housework, dude.

Being a non-entity beyond the money you provide is not good parenting.

>>94314891
Or good spouse-hood, or good anything really, beyond fuel for an affair.

>>94314573
That was more her being a drunk and trying too hard to please Helga. When Big Bob was out of commission with a fucked back, she sobered up, ran that company better than Bob and was pretty much on point for that episode.

>>94314845
>>94314845
Yeah, no. If you live in the house, you help keep it clean

>Even after years of alcoholism, she's still pretty hot. Before all that, she was a vivacious and smart young woman. Young Miriam was pretty clearly a 10/10.
exactly, because of that and Olga it's pretty easy to see that Helga's going to be hot by the time puberty's through with her

The "Beeper Queen" episode. Somewhere in the fourth season if I remember correctly. Miriam cleans up very nicely.

>>94296821
>>94296976
Pretty much this. In show it's stated she was both a rodeo champ and Olympic level swimmer in her day, but Bob pretty much suffocates her now and she finds she has no purpose in life. That's why she just lies around the house all day drinking smoothies.

Also, in one episode, Bob got sick and she briefly took over the beeper emporium, during which her personality pretty much did a complete 180 due to now having a purpose again.

It's really easy to see where Olga gets her mannerisms after watching this one.

>>94321277
>>94321473
Meanwhile, Helga copies Bob's verbal tics and mannerisms. And Miriam sobers up whenever Olga is around and sinks back into drinking when Helga wants something from her.

Helga was probably an unplanned, and thus unwanted child. The second pregnancy took a hold on Miriam, physically and mentally.

>Thanks to the march of technology, Bob's Beepers will have gone out of business by 2008.

>>94322691

He sells cell phones, too

>>94322731
By the seashore?

>>94322691
Bob sold cellphones back in the nineties. The franchise's name is an artifact title.

>>94322691

People do still buy beepers; they're useful for emergency personnel and construction sites since they're passive receivers and don't need to be able to send out a signal to get messages.

He's probably mainly switched to selling smartphones by now but he's probably still got a sideline in beepers.

>>94296810
Honestly it seems like more housewives are miserable, all women should be CEOs propaganda

>>94296810
The better question is what the FUCK did she see in him?

>>94298635
I will like that it's smoothies
It just adds to the whole thing that she doesn't want to call them drinks so it's "smoothies", I picture someone confronting her and she says oh this is just a smoothie or it barely has any alcohol in it

>>94300231
>despite not contributing anything to the house-hold himself but money
Just money? You that shit literally grows on trees
There is nothing more useless than money, nobody ever took his own life over financial issues

>>94313886
Nobody gives a shit about what you think tho

>>94323532
Nah. For all of Bob's neglect and attitude issues or Miriam's alcoholism, neither was demonized outside of their lack of role in Helga's life. Both were happy with each other and with their daughter when their life was just about Olga, her moving away and Helga being born left them in a midlife trainwreck.

>>94323533
Manly, no-shit-taking, successful businessman?

>>94323495
Do you think Bob can figure out how to sell a phone to a group of entitled children?
It would work better if he gave up on beepers and started selling big TV's or something like that

>>94298635
No, it makes sense that it's smoothies. She's a depressed drunk; she doesn't want to drink per se, she just wants to be drunk. So she mixes strong booze with sweet, cold smoothies to mask the harsh taste and make it easier to drink quickly.

>>94325069
It's smoothies filled with hot SAUCE.

>>94322600
That's really sad and surprisingly mature. The writing on the show truly was something else.

>>94325860
To add on the previous point: Helga takes after Bob, who rarely spends "quantity" time with her and calls her by her sister's name 60% of the time.

Just how much did Miriam detach herself from the second daughter if she ended up identifying more with the blowhard dad who's at work most of the time?

>>94325985
I think they're both pretty detached.
But it helps that 1. Bob is typically the more vocal and visible figure 2. He DOES tend to show some interest and get involved if even it's in an unhealthy way.

>>94313886
Let's go through your first post and I'll show you why you're getting mocked.

>>94300231
>Overbearing businessman
This is true, but it hardly has anything to do with his marriage.
>Wanted a stay-at-home wife while he ran a business
Never stated in the show, never even hinted at.
>Got her pregnant twice so she couldn't emasculate him by earning more
Again, never stated nor hinted at. In fact, from what I remember of the episode where Miriam takes over his business he was fine with how successful she was.
>Only gives a shit about his first-born daughter because she wins awards
And gets good grades. However, this is his biggest failing and you are correct in this regard.
>Only gives a shit about his other daughter when she has a chance to win an award or she goes missing
He's been shown to enjoy Helga's company multiple times (like when they went to go mock Cats The Musical together), so his lousy treatment of her is not intentional abuse, more neglect than anything else.
>Gives no shits about what Miriam thinks so long as she spends more time at home than working
Like I said before, he didn't mind how successful she was when she took over his business.
>Enables Miriam's alcoholism so she can't wise-up and leave him
I will give you that he doesn't stop her from drinking, but there is zero evidence he does so intentionally.
>Shouts at her when she fails to do the house-work/shopping despite not contributing anything to the house-hold himself but money
Miriam is a stay at home wife, the fact that their house is a mess is certainly an issue and he has every right to be upset about it.

Bob is a buffoon of a man who's neglect seriously affects the people around him, but that's where his faults end. He is not some stereotypical abusive dad who slaps his wife around and demands perfection in everything, and trying to make him out that way just makes it look like you're demonizing an already flawed man.

>>94323717
Nah that's easy. You just break street date.

>>94296810

>>94326468

Bob is an ass at times.
Also Oskar has other qualities that make him a shit. Miriam being an alcoholic doesn't seem to impact the budget like Oskars gambling or bad sense with money. Also he's constantly demanding shit from his wife.
Miriam is just in a nice docile coma most the time.
