In a recent episode, Gene was offered a job which would require the family to move to Las Vegas. I found Shannon's comments about Sophie's future in Las Vegas to be incredibly stupid. First of all, a lot of really good people manage to support themselves and their families as poker dealers. The fact that she is worried about Sophie becoming a pole dancers speaks mostly to her parenting skills, not their living location,not to mention that these comment make me think that Shannon has no confidence in Sophie's abilities to make competent decisions about her own well being. I would think she would be more worried about Sophie becoming a PLAYBOY ho.
