I was just rewatching her story with Luis and LR and wad wondering if you think she expected Kelly to babysit because the child was terrible to Luis (who was horrible mind you) and could maybe be a handful…

    Let’s be honest. Molly was looking for someone to take care of her kid, pay the bills, blow her back out and party with 20 something’s on the weekend. Molly has not got the memo that she’s no longer in her 20s. I knew when Kelly showed up it wouldn’t work. Molly wants drama and Kelly’s not that. You see how Luis brought nothing to the table and she still dealt with him until the situation blew up.

    Let’s face it. Molly was never looking for a husband. She was looking for a nanny. With benefits.

    In addition to what everyone else said she also seemed to want him to use his pension to pay for things like buy a house immediately.

      I was wondering why she expected that, too. Like he isn’t her husband and has his own rent. Why would he need to pay for her lifestyle at this stage in the relationship?

        My husband’s stepdad retired from NYC public transport. His pension is a lot especially if you live somewhere where cost of living is low. I bet Molly thinks hes rich

          That’s counting other ppls money…if this is true, then she seems like a gold digger. I’m hoping she really kicked him (and the money was just a perk).

    I was annoyed that she thought a relationship is about “taking something off my plate”. What does she do to help her partners?

      You know! If a relationship is give and take and she expected Kelly to take something off her plate, what the heck did she give him? I wonder what Kelly would say she did/gave to him in the relationship, maybe sex?!

      Yes! And she loves both her daughters, so it’s refreshing to see that (although she is a bit rude to awful Luis).

    Molly definitely had expectations for what the relationship would look like. And it sounds like Kelly contributed to that to a degree, if he sent her pictures of houses and made it seem like he was going to provide this wonderful life. Its possible he had intentions to do those things and then saw behaviors in Molly that made him pull away, but it seemed like he didn’t communicate that to her so she was left wondering what changed. I think they really had a huge breakdown in communicating expectations on both sides. And honestly they probably also had some outdated, gender-role specific expectations that they may not even realize they carry.

      I really wish/hope they do a tell all where we can get some questions answered because the dissolution of their relationship was shocking and the fact that they couldn’t get it back together (with “help”) makes me believe that there was a lot of issues from the house to Olivia.

      I also wonder if she wanted Kelly to get a job like security or something, but he didn’t want to do any work, which is very unattractive. Having someone lay around all day in the same position you left them 10 hours earlier is not sexy…

    Autistic and other disabled children aren’t “burdens.” It’s fair to say it’s Molly’s responsibility to show/teach Kelly how to care for her kid. It’s not unfair of Molly to expect Kelly to learn how to help provide some care for her child if they are in a committed relationship and especially if they are living together. It’s not appropriate to pass judgment on the behavior of any young child, let alone a disabled child for whom emotional dysregulation is likely a symptom of their disability. If Kelly doesn’t want to learn or provide any care, that’s fine, but that is a reasonable dealbreaker for the parent of a disabled kid to have. I’m not saying the partner should be expected to devote themselves full time to caregiving, but it’s a reasonable expectation for them to help sometimes.

      I agree, though he’s just a boyfriend, not her husband so the level of care and attention Molly expects her BFs to provide to her and her children is obsurd, especially when we can’t see what she’s bringing to the table.

        I’m not talking about casual boyfriends. I’m talking partners in serious, committed and live-in relationships. If someone isn’t demonstrating their ability and willingness to care as a serious committed partner, they’re not going to do it as a spouse either. I’m not saying people who don’t want to take on those responsibilities are “bad” people. I’m saying they likely aren’t compatible partners for parents of disabled kids.

          This is the thing I think everyone can’t figure out about what happened. Like it seemed like Kelly was a good man and even moved, then there was some drama with Olivia, Cynthia and then Molly said Kelly wasn’t helping during her hysterectomy…it’s such a shift from it seeming like he was all in and doing well, then suddenly Molly isn’t happy…

    because the child was terrible to Luis

    We must have different definition of terrible, because for me Kensley handing Luis his ass at every opportunity was one of the best moments in 90 Day history.

    “Sorry…you’re not my dad…I don’t love you”

    One of the best lines EVER said on the show.

    Leaving Luis out of this because he was a piece of sh*t… Molly is so full of it and if she were honest, she would admit that she was attracted to Kelly in uniform and that went out the window when he retired. Then because he was retired, he didn’t live up to her expectation of being her cook, butler, care giver and chief bottle washer. She was looking to find fault with everything he did.

    All you had to do was listen to her condescending tone in Last Resort, it’s likely why and how she lost her best friend Cynthia…Her best friend & business partner saw a ton and if they are not speaking that should pretty much tell you a lot.

    Remember Kelly said in one episode to the effect of " she wouldn’t treat me the way she did if she cared", something like that…I don’t buy her victim portrayal.

      Lmao! Facts 100%. Kelly was a good man and clearly not a bad cop as he was able to retire with his full pension. On the other hand, Luis was so terrible that we couldn’t see how terrible Molly was.

      Molly wants love, but I’m not sure Kelly even speaks her love languages of gifts and services, etc…

    I find it kind of weird that there’s a lot of women that think this is a problem or her general expectations of Kelly were a problem.

    As a dude if you’re getting into a serious relationship with a woman with kids you are accepting that responsibility. If you’re retired and your partner is not, it shouldn’t be an issue from time to time to watch their child. If you don’t want to do that don’t get in the relationship. I have an autistic stepson and I was WFH before it was thing pre-covid. I had no problem with him being home with me outside of getting to the point where I felt I could properly look after him.

    Also, he should want to take stuff off her plate, especially, if he’s retired. I just feel like if you care about someone you wouldn’t want to see them running with their head cutoff why you sit back and chill.

    Lastly, I believe there is some other shit between them that wasn’t really talked about on the show because they kept implying there’s more but never getting into it.

    I should go back and watch that season but I thought she was gone 18 hours a day and the dude had no car. I also thought he was stuck in a house in GA with a special needs kid. Is that accurate?

    Molly and her children have issues and it stems from the top; MOLLY. She comes across as a victim and likes to wollow in that state. From watching her in this latest series,the last thing she needs to be doing is shacking up with a man. That woman needs a good solid 2-4yrs of working on herself so she can be a good role model for her daughters. I would not be surprised if her father helped her get off her feet. The episode years back when they went to his ranch, it looked very nice. I have a hard time believing Molly made her money with that little store. Regardless, she’s a walking mess and needs therapy.

      Her dad was a little racist, but 100% right on when he called Luis trash! From the earlier season with Luis, I feel like Molly and her brother were living their best lives because their dad managed his money well. Plus, it didn’t seem like they are living extravagantly, so Molly’s dad could definitely have funded Molly’s lifestyle.

    Molly expected a husband maid since Kelly “wasn’t working”. The man is retired, he’s done working. Her screeching voice would have been enough for me to run.

      Exactly! Like he didn’t even live with her, but from LR it seemed like he had full on responsibilities in her life that he wasn’t performing. She literally wanted a “working-husband-father” but she got Kelly “retired/unemployed-boyfriend-babysittee”. I agree with Molly that it is not attractive that he sits home all day watching reality TV.
