It’s interesting how the lack of indoor plumbing has come up separately in the last two seasons, firstly with Dempsey and now with Rob.

Both Dempsey and Rob want children, but don’t have indoor plumbing. I’ve seen lots of people mention how its delusional of Rob to want children when he doesn’t have indoor plumbing, but nobody do the same with Dempsey.

Now, I think most people would agree Rob is a douche and Dempsey is a saint, or at the very least a decent person because of their behaviour on the show.

But it’s interesting how most redditors will jump on Rob’s lack of indoor plumbing as a way to criticise him, and yet barely anyone used that against Dempsey.

I get it, Rob’s a douche, he needs humbling so people will throw whatever they can at him. But people are using indoor plumbing as some sort of benchmark for what a piece of shit he is, and not using the same metric with Dempsey. I feel like it’s just used as a shorthand to criticise everything else about Rob (that is definitely worth criticising).

I’m not saying its wrong. I’m just interested by this behaviour.

    Rob is trying to marry Sophie and have kids almost immediately whereas Dempsey wants children in the future and is only dating Statler. Dempsey also has a career and a good head on her shoulders. I’m sure she would be willing to abandon the lifestyle she has now in order to secure a better future for her children. Rob seems content on staying where he is until one of his get rich quick schemes land, family be damned.
