Incongruous?
How did such a lovely, loving, intelligent, and sensitive woman like Carrie (or Cary?) manage to raise two such beastly, narcissistic, empty-headed, brats?
Also, how did she manage to survive in that hypocritical, judgmental, and shallow environment all those years? This makes no sense, even if she wasn't the target of gossip and had a couple of friends there. I'd have killed someone (or myself) years earlier.
And the doctor seemed to have a clue. How could he enjoy the company of these offensive twits???
