Sorry I can't find a link to it but this scene has always bothered me, I suppose from the point of view that I feel that all children should be loved equally by their parents. I understand that unfortunately isn't always the case and certainly not in Dallas!
Jenna and Charlie are in a pizza restaurant and Jenna is heavily pregnant with Lucas. She is reassuring Charlie that she has nothing to worry about regarding the baby's arrival, and that although Lucas will be loved, she will 'never love anyone as much as I do you', meaning Charlie.
Is that right...to say that to a child? Doesn't this give Charlie an inflated sense of importance in her mother's life and something to throw at Lucas if she ever wanted to? Siblings can and do fight and cast things up. There is a big age difference between Charlie and Lucas but I still don't think it was very responsible of Jenna to tell her daughter that she would always love her more than her next child...
