Things I Hate: Brenda Sparks (Young Sheldon)

Melissa Peterman as Brenda Sparks Young Sheldon TV Series

Brenda Sparks was a character I didn’t really care for during my time watching Young Sheldon. She gets better over time, but I think they made her to be more dislikeable than likable.

What I couldn’t really stand was her being an uppity biatch to the Cooper family when her own children were misbehaving.

Which causes her and Mary to be mortal enemies… for a little bit. Even Meemaw throws a glass of water at her face in their “war.”

Her husband ends up leaving abruptly and abandoning the family. And her and George Cooper Sr. almost end up having an affair. And they spend a lot more time trying to cover up the fact that they almost did something they would have regretted than their wrongdoings.

Which eventually becomes known when Georgie becomes a father himself. But not long after that, George dies and she seems to be hurt. But somewhat at peace with how things worked out.
