Sansa Stark + Lyanna Stark part three

I love the show but I really, really hate how Clark and Lois constantly coddle Jordan and minimize or ignore Jon's issues. This is especially evident in the last episode when Jonathan gets his wrist broken by Jordan in an attempt to stop him from seriously hurting a player on the opposing team (who is an absolute dick by the way, but that's beside the point). The doctor tells him that it'll take 6-8 weeks to heal and there could very well be lasting effects from the injury. Jonathan is understandably upset at the prospect of never playing QB again, to which Lois remarks:

"It could have been worse."

Jonathan then storms off and neither parent reacts to this at all. Instead focusing their energy on Jordan telling him that it wasn't his fault and that Jon just "needs a second". Then Clark goes on his whole spiel which ends with: "Broken trust is a lot harder to fix than a broken wrist"

Do neither of them understand what this means for Jon, who was already struggling to adjust to life in Smallville, now to have the only thing that he has left taken away like that? I'm sorry but just because one of your kids has more visible issues, doesn't mean the other one doesn't exist.

Clark: Happy Birthday son! How about me and you fly to the Fortress and I'll teach you use those powers?

Jordan: Yay!

Jonathan: Can I come too?

Clark: It's your brother's special day today, Jon. Tell you what, when your birthday rolls around I'll take ya.
