Which of the Baby Sitters Disliked Mallory the Most?

[booklover85]

I decided to put this poll because there's always a book where one or more of the sitters treats Mallory like garbage.

I'm voting for Claudia and Dawn. Both of them seem to have a big problem with Mal (mostly stemming from jealousy;Claudia in the art class scene in New York, New York and Mallory and Jessi's initiation scene in #15).

Hmm... I'm not really sure! Stacey and Mal probably had the worst fights (Kristy and the Baby Parade/Sea City Here We Come), but they live so close together I guess they're more like sisters and they always make up in the end. Mal and Claud seemed to have the least interaction, so I guess I'll have to go for her too.

I don't think any of them really dislike Mal, but if I had to chose probably Dawn. There's the way she acted in book 15, but I also think that she might a little jealous of the relationship Mal had with the other girls. Like Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne (maybe Stacey?) were all sitting for Mal long before Dawn moved to the area and they have that rapport with her if that makes sense.

Also Abby, I don't see her close to anyone in the club and she might get annoyed with Mal and Jess since they're younger then her.

Yeah, I could see Dawn like both of you mentioned. At least in the beginning. And I agree about Abby! I always thought that she should have gotten closer to the other girls. Her and Kristy could have become really good friends over their love of sports and being bossy (haha) instead of becoming rivals, at least from Kristy's point of view. Mary Anne had two best friends, so I don't see why Kristy couldn't either.

I went with Dawn because of the added jealousy she felt when Mallory and Jessi were inducted into the BSC. I know, right - someone jealous of Mallory.

I was thinking maybe Kristy. I can’t recall specific books but there were times when she could get short with her.

None of them disliked Mallory. Some of the older BSC did rib Jessi and Mallory at first, but they were gradually accepted.

I don't see Mallory as this chronic "victim" and no, she was not "ugly" either.

I see most as just being mostly indifferent to her but unfortunately Kristy probably is the least appreciative of her. Or maybe Claudia for a bit too much looking down on her for being younger.
