O/T : Fear the Walking Dead Ep:2 apocalypse with BM

Glassslipper's picture

Ok, so we discussed the blended family with Episode 1, Now were into Episode 2. main character mom sent DH to go get SS and BM. They are currently held out in a barber shot during a riot/walker area. Planning to head to the house where SM and her kids are as soon as its safe to leave the riot/walker zone.

Would you be ok with BM in your home during the apocalypse?

Would you keep her around so you have someone to trip when the Walkers are chasing you? lol

hahaha I love this topic, and was actually wondering this exact thing while watching it last night. I've decided that NO, BM is not welcome in our house during apocalypse. Not our job to save her helpless butt!

I can't imagine that. Stuck in a barbershop with a family who doesn't want you there, your bitchy exwife, and rebellious teenage son during an apocalypse. Yeah, that would make for s really bad day.

My dh would rather fall prey to walkers then to be stuck with bm.

All very valid things to think of!
Both BM and ExH would come running with the kids for our place! Were stocked for the apocalypse and they know it. lol

Those are some hard questions. I really like that the fear of the walking dead is putting those questions out there for blended families. This blended family isn't even as complicated as most.

In mine we have a yours, mine, and ours. With exes having other kids and family. It does get complicated. It really will be interesting to see if the biomom ends up basically being stuck with her ex and his new wife. Talk about a nightmare.

I have a tendency to think that the way they are laying out the characters, they will all be stuck together for a short while, but that BM will be the first to fall victim to the Walkers out of their group.

I'm the ultimate Walking Dead fan, but this spinoff makes me cringe! Spend the apocalypse with the ex? Screw that! She's be walker chow. DH said if he were the husband on that show, he'd grab his son, ditch the ex, and find his wife! Seriously, "I have to go get my son and his mom?" How about, "I have to go get my son" period? I get that they're amicable and all that fake horse crap, but I don't know if I can keep watching this. He wasted a perfect opportunity to get rid of the BM for good! }:)

He only got stuck there because they were looking for the teenage son. Seems like biomom was not too hepped on being with him as well.

I couldn't let my BS see me/DH leave his dad (my ex) in the dust to try to survive and take BS, if we had the ability and means to help my Ex. And as much as I hate BM and the skids I would have to think the same way.

I'd personally want to leave the skids behind, LOL, but I couldn't do that to DH and I'm sure the skids wouldn't be able to leave their mom.

It would be a lot of sucking shit up and dealing with it and trying to work out a best solution for survival for everyone. I wouldn't want it on my conscience if I purposely left someone for dead, no matter how much I dislike them.

Knowing both my Ex and BM though, they wouldn't survive very long even with our help.

I've been watching with my SO and shaking my head at that aspect of the story line. Last night I told him that I would not hesitate to use BM as zombie bait.

When the ex-wife was mad that the dad was coming by her house on her time with their son, I said "See? She's just trying to have healthy boundaries and he's trampling all over them."

I also made loud retching noises when the guy said he was in the barber shop with "my family", which apparently includes his ex-wife.

The cast has given interviews and they say stuff like "Well, we're just a normal blended family, like so many out there these days." I think the show is just trying to be precious AND relevant.

You know what pisses me off about this scenario? That in the event of an apocalypse, BM would still be trying to get with DH.

Like, bitch, the end of civilization is upon us and you're worried whether or not your vagina is going to get some?

In the fear of the walking dead it seemed to me that no love was lost between the Bm and ex. It seemed to me like she was discouraging him from coming over at all.

I will tell you that some bms wouldn't want their ex even if they were the last man standing.

True. I'd be that BM. I would not want the ex (if I had one) to be with me because I know it's one less person to feed and to worry about when stealth in movement is everything with walkers.

I just meant if my set of people were in that scenario.

Main dude in Barber Shop "I'm Travis and this (his BS and EX) is my family" ooh that grated on me! Lol

As for the original question; SO will want his daughter, fine. BM will have an 'unfortunate' accident fairly shortly after joining us.
