    How the main characters seem to have lots of money and free time especially the kiddos.

      The version of this that I am tired of is when kids are living at home without parents. This is usually just handwaved away through the parents working overseas or something like that. It’s just lazy writing so that they don’t need to worry about writing parent characters or deal with parent/child interactions.

        Yeah I saw one where a middle schooler had her own apartment and she said her uncle checks up on her every week. Her friends would frequently spend the night and it somehow worked out fine.
