I enjoy watching reruns of THE COSBY SHOW and I always get uncomfortable with how Clair treats Vanessa.
She’s always finding some fault with Vanessa and every mistake Vanessa made, Clair reacted as if Vanessa robbed the bank.
The make-up drama was silly, what is the problem in wearing make-up? Clair was like Joan Crawford, she wanted Vanessa to stay 12 until she was 18.
Denise dropped out of college and would smart-mouth yet Clair was never as strict towards her. Even Rudy, she was very lenient. Yet Vanessa was treated as if she was the Meg of the Family.
Vanessa made mistakes but she was a sweet and probably naive girl. She never did anything bad and when she did, she felt guilty about it.
