Not a realistic portrayal of single motherhood
She's a single mother, juggles a full time job as a doctor, and has the time to go on dates and have a social life? Give me a break. I'm not saying women can't do it all, but not addressing the difficulty of managing all these things is an injustice to mothers everywhere. I'm aware that she's probably rich and can afford decent childcare, but it's like they made her have a baby as a simple plot device and then completely forgot that she has to be a mother to him. Sorry Mindy Kaling, I didn't think I could have any less respect for you. You had an opportunity to address some serious issues that women everywhere face, yet chose to take the shallow route as usual. Don't even get me started on her representation as a minority and her wannabe-white features, that's already been discussed tirelessly so I won't contribute anymore.
