 * 5) She is very childish and never acts her age. She will often whine when stuff doesn't go right for her.
 * 6) She is obviously stuck in the past as she just keeps bringing up how she had a horrible childhood. In fact, she will just keep bringing up her childhood just so she can get out of people criticizing her and/or to make her seem like a better person than her mom.

 * 12) In “Thigh Gap and a Rack of Lamb”; She gets mad when Bonnie didn’t give her credit but yet in the entire series she never gave her mom any credit.
 * 13) In “Pilot”; She was being the biggest hypocrite ever.
 * 14) In “Big Sauce and Coconut Water”, She wouldn’t ever help her mom deal with Tammy after all her mom did to help her with her kids but yet she didn’t ever help her with on person?
 * 15) *In the ending of that episode when her mom was getting attacked by Tammy, SHE DIDN'T EVEN GO AND HELP HER!! SHE JUST CLOSED THE DOOR AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP.
 * 16) She never gave her mom credited for anything she’s done but yet when she never gets credited, she’s gets so mad.
 * 17) In “Dropped Soap and a Big Guy on a Throne” she recorded her mom while she was struggling with back pain thinking it was funny. And the show want us to believe she's the nicest character??? And the worst part is that she posted the video to YouTube!
 * 18) In “Sick Popes and a Red Ferrari” she was being a huge jerk for her mom lying to her but yet in later episodes she becomes such a liar.
 * 19) *Also she ever spoils a movie for her and she even said “sweet” when her mom says she's in a horrible situation. Let's not forgot she even tries to cut her hair saying “She has to be punished”! She even gets mad when everyone is comforting her mom!! HOW DOES THIS SHOW WANT US TO BELIEVE SHE'S A GOOD CHARACTER!?
 * 20) She makes everything about her.

 * 25) In an episode she said she plans to sprinkle her mom’s ashes on the freeway. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SAYS THIS HORRIBLE THING TO HER MOTHER?????.
 * 26) Most of her jokes are terrible insults about her mom and they never come off as funny.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite insulting her mom and complaining about everything she had done, she does still love her mom at the end of the day.
 * 2) She can be a nice and calm character at times.
 * 3) She is a good sponsor.
 * 4) She can sometimes has some good jokes.
 * 5) She cared for Jodi before she died.
 * 6) She does have sometimes have a good side.
 * 7) She does have some heartwarming moments here and there.
 * 8) To be fair, the reason why she acted this way throughout the entire show is mainly due to her botched upbringing throughout the years since childhood; after her father Alvin abandoned her and her mother Bonnie at the hospital, which resulted in Bonnie nearly giving up infant Christy for adoption: a nice Jewish couple was going to adopt her, but Bonnie backed out at the last minute. Christy had a rough time growing up because Bonnie became a raging alcoholic and drug addict, which consequently she ended up inheriting most of Bonnie's negative character traits and therefore repeats the same mistakes Bonnie did with her husband Baxter and her children Violet and Roscoe, hence resulting Christy and Bonnie became estranged to each other as Christy became an adult and grew resentful of Bonnie for not being a proper mother, having let her miss out on having a childhood. But still this doesn't excuse her negative behavior though.
 * 9) Mom, while not a great show by itself, wouldn't be as great as it is without her.
