I like that Ruby is very patient. However the show stops there at what I like. Max is not taught or corrected when he does something wrong like making a mess, always being very selfish, not listening or something else that is just simply not right. There seems to be no rules in the Max and Ruby house and if there are they are Never enforced, Ever. I think it teaches kids not to listen and that they can get away with something they want to do if they can get away with it, hide it or put on big "puppy dog" eyes and to only do what you feel like and not care for others feeling as per example of Max. In one episode Ruby asks her brother to stop making so much noise while she is trying to talk to her friend on the phone but he doesn't and makes more noise so she redirects him to do something else but nothing works so she decides to go upstairs so she can hear the conversation with her friend while he plays with his loud toys. She then kindly and clearly asks him to hang up the phone when she gets to the other phone upstairs and simply and clearly tells him what he should do so she can get to the phone but he hangs it up before Ruby is able but not before he says hello,goodbye. I thought that was so mean/rude and Not how a sibling should act or at least she should tell him how that made her feel and why he shouldn't do that next time and even call back her friend and have him apologize for hanging up. That seems like a very poor example, but the episode ended with him hanging up the phone and Ruby acting sad about what happened. Every episode is full of bad examples and my post would be a mile long. Obviously, we won't be watching this show. Also, where are the adults, seems sad and silly that Ruby has to always watch out for her little brother without any adult supervision ever while Max gets to get away with whatever he wants to do while Ruby has to put up with her little brother and doesn't really get to enjoy being a kid herself.
I hope Max doesn't grow up do go to jail or hurt someone since he's not told how to act.
Guess it's a show of how not to act.
