Re: Matt's Grandmother?

[(Anonymous)]

Assuming she's Matt's paternal grandmother, she was probably saying it about her husband. Also, it may have been affectionate (meaning that the Murdock boys are mischievous).

But I'm totally down for reading a story about Jack's relationship with his verbally abusive mother, and how he swore he would never treat his own kid like that, if that's what you're going for.

Yes me too

Assuming parental grandmother, it could also NOT be affectionate, considering the times she would have been alive in. Jack growing up in that kind of terrible situation would have DEFINITELY had anger issues. (Jack says that Matt's a good kid, and certainly didn't get it from him - implying that Jack doesn't think of himself of a good person, or has frequently been told he's not a good person, possibly by Matt's mother as well - presumably, Jack cleaned up his act a lot for Matt's sake.)

Even if Jack's anger was in defense of his own mother, that could be a scary thing (though comparing him to his father would be cruel in that case). Plus, the grandmother might have stepped in when Matt's mom checked out. Or it could have been a multi-generational household, but she died before the show started, who knows.

Jack might have also grown up in a household where abuse came from both sides - his dad having the devil in him (probably alcohol, which is where you usually hear that kind of phrasing), and his mother coping with that by being controlling and abusive toward Jack.

Presuming that the grandmother in question was not speaking of a spouse, Jack may have had a sibling. Usually "the [surname] boys" is used in reference to siblings, or all the men of a large family. She may have also been referring to any of her spouses siblings, supposing she knew them.
