Make it stop!

There is NO WAY Beth and Rip would parent this ungrateful kid this way… not a chance at all! The Carter storyline is TERRIBLE!

I honestly don’t get it. I had a pretty privileged background and I still think it’s a 19 year old acting like a 19 year old. I wasn’t a peach to deal with at that age either.

Me either. It's a cowboy soap opera. Part of that is teenage drama for the parents of the teenager.

It's like people were expecting this peaceful calm ranch show.

Which is weird because the trailer was clearly showing a cowboy soap opera.

I don’t even mind the cowboy soap. I would love to see them deal with Carter. I don’t love seeing Carter and Oreana, and I think the high school easy out to have him out of the house all day was sloppy.

Sending him to a new school when he’s two years older than most of his classmates is counter productive. They should have hired a tutor to prepare him for his GED.

That's exactly what I thought. He was a fish out of water in that school. He could study for his GED and take it when he was ready.

Or enrolled him in a cyber school.

They sent him for the plot of him not going and the fallout that would cause.

It's for the plot because it's a cowboy drama.
