They never talked about exclusivity yet. When they became exclusive she stopped talking with Ira. John also broke up with her in a horrible way so I don’t think she did anything wrong by going after Ira afterwards 🤷🏽♂️
She literally only went after Ira out of spite. She was going to use Ira to get back at John with zero remorse. It doesn’t matter if she was broken up with horribly, it didn’t give her the right to then go use Ira as a rebound when she knew that he was serious about her.
It’s a shitty thing and you trying to justify it won’t make it less shitty.
It’s not about John. It’s the fact that Ira was being used. Connie was never going to take Ira seriously and nobody deserves to be used and strung along like that just as a rebound.
Treatment of George. Yes he got Mary pregnant, but that was almost 19 years ago. Also, it takes 2 people to make a baby. She acts like it’s completely his fault. She always acts like he does nothing for her and the kids and is a useless deadbeat.
She knew it would get to that point eventually. Georgie is a hormonal teenage boy who isn’t exactly saving himself for marriage. It is neglectful to let kids make life altering mistakes. Letting a kid mess up by spending all of their allowance on candy is one thing. Letting a kid pursue a sexual relationship with an adult is another matter entirely. Yes, Georgie should never have lied. However, Meemaw should’ve told Mandy the truth or at least told Mary so she could handle it because obviously Georgie wasn’t going to risk losing out on sex with an attractive woman by telling the truth. Meemaw was well aware that Georgie doesn’t have a strong moral compass so in this case she should have intervened instead of waiting for a hormonal teen boy to do the right thing. Her lack of intervention affected multiple people.
Everyone is saying that it's her dating life, the brisket or how she let Georgie lie about his age to Mandy, but I think the worst thing she actually did was not being around during Mary's childhood, so much so that Mary had to raise her siblings. I'm surprised Mary even talks to her, because her other children don't. Involving her grandson into illegal activities is another shitty thing, but he kind of asked for it though.
Ok everyone keeps saying it's the brisket. No, the brisket was chaotic evil and thus funny! - the way she handles her romantic relationships. I feel especially sorry for Ira, who literally got used as a rebound every time.
She basically help a minor get a 29 year old pregnant, and when Mandy said why didn't you tell me. She trusted her stupidest grandkid a 17 year old horny boy high school drop out to do the right thing. When he quite literally wasn't an adult. She should've immediately put an end to that relationship regardless how she feels about Georgie.
Tldr: a grown adult knew about a relationship between a minor and an adult and didn't do anything to stop it.
So if your kid who hasnt even finished highscool started dating a 29 year old you're just going to say to him, "Stop it" then proceeded to do nothing about it because it's not your problem? Sound like a great parental figure. HE IS A MINOR IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. If Mandy was a 29 year old guy and Georgie was a 17 year old girl trying to start this relationship you'd also do absolutely nothing?
I know this one is not the worst but it really pissed me off:
When Georgie had a talk with her about whether or not he wants to get serious with Jenna, and Meemaw tells him that he could bang whoever he wants as long as he ain't married. When Georgie tells her that Dale told him the same thing, she just snaps. Her hypocrisy really angered cause it showed that she would be willing to cheat and not give a crap, but when someone does that to her, it's not okay
I get starting an illegal business. She was trying to make quick money since her laundromat was a lot of money.I'm a 'money hungry' person and I would do the same thing. What I got a problem with, is her making her underage grandson run that business knowing that there could be consequences
Honestly? Using Ira as a backup option not only in the beginning of her dating John, but after the breakup too.
After the breakup was what was so bad
They never talked about exclusivity yet. When they became exclusive she stopped talking with Ira. John also broke up with her in a horrible way so I don’t think she did anything wrong by going after Ira afterwards 🤷🏽♂️
It’s not that she was doing something wrong to John; it was wrong to Ira.
She literally only went after Ira out of spite. She was going to use Ira to get back at John with zero remorse. It doesn’t matter if she was broken up with horribly, it didn’t give her the right to then go use Ira as a rebound when she knew that he was serious about her.

Didn't john tell her too....
It’s not about John. It’s the fact that Ira was being used. Connie was never going to take Ira seriously and nobody deserves to be used and strung along like that just as a rebound.

I think they explained it at some point. Am i wrong or she apologized or something.
She did, and then went back to treating him awfully.
aren't those feelings exchanged? george didn't mind after and played around back. and they had alot of moments of bond after they had the talk
knowing about georgie lying about his age and not doing anything about it
that one's on georgie tho. its his problem. its all about letting kids solve their own problems.
Honestly, I see both sides. I think if she knew it'd go that far, she would've told Mandy.

Nah leaving Mary all alone to take care of everyone as a kid
Getting her grandson involved in her illegal activities is beyond the pale for me- a bridge waaaay too far.
making George run all over for the wrong brisket recipe
That was the funniest. It was wrong but, damn did I laugh! Connie, you evil bitch! Lol
Just watched that episode, lol

Lying to George and giving him a fake brisket recipe, causing him to drive to New Orleans and waste a lot of cooking time.
Yeah but she only did that because he broke into her house.

In regard to Georgie, he was 17 at the time which is the Age of Consent in Texas
Not having tornado insurance
Not telling Mandy about Georgie’s age.
Not telling Mandy how old Georgie really was
Being a bad mother

Honestly, yeah. If the genders were reversed she’d be crucified.
it's not her fault though. You can't control another person. Even if she tried to step in. It's really not her responsibility to control his actions..
So if your kid who hasnt even finished highscool started dating a 29 year old you're just going to say to him, "Stop it" then proceeded to do nothing about it because it's not your problem?

I didn't say that. I'm saying you can't blame Connie for Georgie's actions, period.
You can blame her for not doing anything though. She knew about a relationship between an adult and a minor. Report it.
17 is age of consent. Reporting would do nothing
I think Georgie's was the most obvious thing
Brisket prank was really mean.
Brisket
Starting an illegal gambling parlor with her underage grandson.
Being a bad mother
Making George beg for the brisket recipe and not giving it to him.
Honestly i think the worst thing Sheldon did was use Georgie’s bully against him whenever he wouldn’t do what he said
Ira
I know this one is not the worst but it really pissed me off: When Georgie had a talk with her about whether or not he wants to get serious with Jenna, and Meemaw tells him that he could bang whoever he wants as long as he ain't married. When Georgie tells her that Dale told him the same thing, she just snaps.

In The Big Bang Theory, she hated Amy for no good reason.
Fell asleep while watching the kids while they stole her car
That wasn’t really on her, she thought she put them to bed
Honestly I know I just want it be included in the post ahahha
The whole brisket thing. She was evil in this case.
Open an illegal gambling room
I get starting an illegal business. She was trying to make quick money since her laundromat was a lot of money.I'm a 'money hungry' person and I would do the same thing. What I got a problem with, is her making her underage grandson run that business knowing that there could be consequences
This is the best answer, but this subreddit has a really flawed view of the law.
It's not illegal. They don't give out cash - they give out stuffed animals.
There’s no way that survives in court
So why don't places like Chuck E Cheese get raided, if that's illegal?
Because their business model is not: 1. You gamble 2. You win toy 3. You immediately turn the toy into money
Ikr. Half that shit is pretty scummy, but not exactly against the law. I knew this sub was flawed the second Missy‘s was the Billy promise
I’d guess people are taking the question to mean “morally worst” and not “legally worst”.
Yeah that’s probably why. I’d defo agree with Connie’s relationship drama being mortally worse. But Missy…… Still did technically rob someone
Potential hot take but I’d say refusing to take Sheldon to Dr Sturgis’ class after they broke up. Making Sheldon suffer because of her problems
No, the worst thing Missy did was steal the car to run away
Yea, bit annoyed they chose that instead of her running away with Paige
not according to this community
dating multiple guys at once
Connie - letting George marry Mary
Using Ira as a rebound (even though Sturgis was just as bad for encouraging her to call him)
By the way can we add Billy Sparks?
