Where is the Millie fanclub?

I'm neutral/dislike on her.
Aqua gave a good speech, and that's the only reason she's not on the dislike/hate list anymore.

I've always disliked Millie due to her parenting skills. But I think the Erin's are trying to make her more likable.

Millie's a terrible mother and the Erins tried too hard to replace Silverstream...

Millie was never meant to replace Silverstream in the first place. For one, she acts nothing like Silverstream. And second of all, she's based on a real cat belonging to one of Vicky's friends, but Vicky didn't know said cat looked like Silverstream until after she promised her friend that his cat would be in the book.

I would hope an abusive, neglectful parent wouldn't have much of a fanclub. Whether or not they took a warrior name or not doesn't matter.

Neutral.

Hmm, that makes sense. 

Probably because Millie and Silverstream have similar descriptions. 

Precisely how I feel.

I like Millie. She's an interesting character with realistic reactions and actual stressors, like her daughter slowly dying a cruel and painful death, that affect her actions and thought process. She's proven her loyalty time and time again, and has stood up for what she believes in, even if it was against popular opinion. I really admire her for that.

But apparently, getting frustrated at your [ADULT] daughter for being the careless grown cat she is means you're a terrible parent. No, it means you're a realistic parent. Parents yell at their kids. It happens. They're human (or sentient cats). I don't know why everyone gets mad about this. Was it ideal? No, but Blossomfall was being dumb and sometimes you just need to learn the hard way. If Blossom was a young apprentice, then yes, I'd say that Millie should have paid more attention to her. But she wasn't. She was already well into being a warrior and should've known better. If you're 30 years old, and you get hurt doing something stupid like skydiving or something, but you're still okay enough to go to the hospital on your own, you can't expect your mother, who's already devoting all her energy caring for your paraplegic, dying sibling, to drop everything and treat you like a baby. My mom would lecture me into the next century about being that dumb, no sympathy included. But that's okay. BECAUSE IT WAS MY FAULT AND I NEEDED TO OWN UP TO IT.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. In the Warriors universe, mothers don't usually fret over their children once they become warriors. I've yet to see Frostfur freaking out over Brackenfur, or Daisy panic over any of her grown kits after a battle. Why? Because they're old enough to make their own decisions. Sandstorm was probably one of the few that did freak out after Squirrelflight got badly injured and that was much worse that Blossomfall's wounds,

I just don't understand all the hate she gets :/ Hollyleaf is loved by the fandom and she's done so much worse. That feel when getting frustrated at your careless daughter is less accepted than murder, betrayal, and attempted matricide.

I don't like Millie

I don't understand why everyone's so upset about Millie's actions. Her children are adults when she begins paying too much attention to the physically disabled Briarlight. They're not kits who need their mother anymore. They were raised to what is basically cat adulthood with no trouble.

She was no longer a parent who was raising her children and all of them were at a point you could compare to being moved out/at college in real life. Blossomfall was an adult who did not need her mothers attention to grow.

Honestly the fact this was a THEME in Omen of the Stars kind of confuses me, especially when put into the perspective that the clans operate like large families where they are getting attention and recognition from everyone-- And the fact that the cats mentors as apprentices are acting in some way as parents as well.

I mean, I guess it makes more sense when you put it into this category: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WellDoneSonGuy But even then, the warrior cats universe operates in a way that who you're trying to impress is usually your leader and your mentor- not your parents. Breezepelt and Blossomfall's issues apply better to real life than they do to their own setting, where they're basically nonsensical.
