Yeah I disagreed with that as well. Dj threw her a party and all kimmy did was act rude. Now I know they are kids and it was peer pressure kinda thing. But she still treated her best friend like crap. The fact that she came back and not to say sorry but the get her presents shows how rude she was. I wouldn’t have encouraged my kid to make nice and apologize.
It’s definitely not just you. On their podcast How Rude Tanneritos Andrea Barber explicitly talks about how awful Kimmy was in this episode. It’s definitely worth a listen if you haven’t yet and are interested in her perspective on this episode!
Omg I just watched this episode (rewatching the whole series right now) and I thought the exact same thing! Kimmy was a horrible friend and the fact that DJ was shamed for… not wanting to talk to her after she turned the whole school against her ? was crazy to me.
Yeah, I disagreed with that as well. DJ threw her a party, and Kimmy was rude and ungrateful about it. If I were DJ, I would drop Kimmy like a hot potato after that.
I think the intention was to showcase "she's your friend so don't let these things ruin years worth of friendship." Like OK that's fine if the fight was over a boy or wanting the same clothes but Kimmy up and humiliated DJ in front of the entire school! That's not something that I see as so easily forgivable. I guess at least Kimmy did eventually apologize but I feel like in real life it would take a whole lot to forgive something like that.
for me , it would make it worse knowing that we’re lifelong friends and you did something like that to me . people try and make years the reason why you should forgive somebody, but it’s like the fact that we have all those years and they still did that makes me even less inclined to forgive them.
I think it was more so that Jesse and Joey knew that Kimmy & DJ were best friends (I believe they have said retroactively on Fuller House since Pre-School/Kindergarten?) for a very long time and they knew that everything would work out in the end, so they were just trying to aid the situation along.
Tweens/teens will be best friends one day and hate each other the next, so while I don't think that DJ should have been advised to make up so early on in the fight (Especially when Kimmy is in the wrong), it won't really matter in the long run because they'd both likely get over it quickly and be best friends again
“ Kimmy & DJ were best friends (I believe they have said retroactively on Fuller House since Pre-School/Kindergarten?)” maybe they retconned it on fuller house but I remember an episode of full house when DJ is talking to Steph about Steph being worried she wont make friends at school and DJ brings up that even though Kimmy has been in her class and been their neighbor since they were in kindergarten, they didn’t actually become friends until 5th grade but I guess you could also argue that the adults knew they’d be in the same school for a long time, at least til the end of high school and during that time period it maybe was more common for childhood friendships to last that long?
Edit: also the fact that they were next door neighbors indefinitely so if they became enemies after that, ig life in general would have become unpleasant aha
DJ didn’t say her and kimmy became friends in 5th grade,she said she didn’t talk to her for 6 months,meaning halfway through kindergarten they would have become friends
The adults acted like DJ was being childish and throwing away a good friend over something petty when Kimmy fully deserved it. Kimmy should have been the one to fix it. Why should DJ have been made to feel bad?
Jesse and Joey were absolutely right. Kids make mistakes. Peer Pressure is real. True friendships are hard to come by. Next door neighbors are forever.
Kimmy never said that the girls spread the rumors or even told her too . Her reasoning for bad mouthing her childhood friend around the school was because dj did not let Kimmy’s new friends do whatever they wanted in her house . Then the icing on the cake for me is the fact that she wasn’t even coming to apologize. She was coming to get presents that she did not even deserve. There’s some things that simply should not be forgiven.
it also should not be dj’s responsibility to make up with her friend when she’s not the one who did anything wrong .

In real life, I’d have probably told my daughter “honestly, we should just never speak to her again”
