Who's Side were you own in Somepony to Watch Over Me and Why

[TheUnknownPhantom5 69]

Applejack's side.

Apple Bloom's side

[Will Guide 21,365]

I don't own any of them. Technically illegal to buy a sentient pony like that.

But in all seriousness I can understand both sides of the argument and that's the point of the episode. Applejack needed to accept that Apple Bloom is becoming older and more responsible and Apple Bloom needed to realized that Applejack were just looking out for her

For me, it was both sides. Like @Will Guide stated, Applebloom is getting older and that means she gains the desire to be independent. It's hard for parents sometimes to accept this, especially for "helicopter parents", which Applejack seemed to portray in this episode.

I would be on Applebloom's side. Such overprotectiveness only would make me dome something stupid to "prove that I can", because otherwise I would be stuck in a stupid loop - "you can't do it, because you have never done it, therefore you can't do it", I actually have been in such a situation a few times, but then I sometimes would remind the other person how ridiculous they were.

Though Applebloom was a bit stupid as well - if I was in her place, because this was about the chores and not something I would consider fun, I would just be "yes, you right, I can't do it, so it means you have to do it". "You want me to do X, really, it looks dangerous, there are some highly improbable things that could happen and would hurt me, I don't think I should do it", "I don't know how to do it (despite doing it many times before), please show me how to do it, no, still don't know, oh, its already done?". And then escalate the stupidity until Applejack would be fed up and say "you are not a little child anymore".

There is an episode like this? I kinda skipped a lot of Season 4.

I tried to read what it was about on a wiki page, but it didn't remind me of anything I have seen.

 

I'm going with the grown-up here: Applejack. Even if she makes mistakes, she is allowed to make them.

Oh, that’s a hard one!

Apple Bloom. AJ had zero motivation to become overprotective at any point. "Apple Bloom, open the drawer to get the spoon"? Oh, my goodness, why didn't I think of that before? */sarcasm*

She will be yelled at, treated as a filly. But yea, she will make mistakes. We all do.

I'm with Apple Bloom here. AJ went at some really crazy with her protection of Apple Bloom. Yes AJ is allowed to learn and make mistakes, but it went to some extreme examples in this episode.

I sided with Applebloom because Applejack was being overprotective.
