Mary Anne simply wants to be there for her friends regardless of her own needs. Disclaimer - I don't own Babysitter's Club 2020. Note - For the second episode, I honestly felt Kristy also owed Mary Anne an apology, but also feel Mary Anne wouldn't have said what she did if Kristy hadn't first said what she had regarding Mary Anne's father. I also felt that there was a miscommunication issue between Mary Anne and her father. On the other hand, I love how Mary Anne handled the situation in that she does in fact handle it with maturity, but I also love how Kristy's need to control things is tied directly into her actual life circumstances and things she needs to deal with personally. She has definite room to grow as an individual.
