Kit is a selfish brat

Kit was a bit bratty, but understandably so. She felt like the ugly duckling all her life, and here Dot was stealing all the thunder, even though she never even wanted it to begin with. And Dottie was gonna be fine. She already had an adoring husband and a taste of being a star ball player. I think she knew she didn't want it that much. She wanted to start a family and if that meant giving her bratty, but beloved sister a win, then what did it matter if Kit didn't deserve it? It was nice, and sisterly and it probably made her feel like she was finally as good as Dottie.(Which may have helped her to be more self-assure in life.) Sure, Dottie could've also just told her that. But this was better. This allowed the public to know and cheer her on, which I think was all Kit wantedthe support and affection of other people that seemed to always go to Dot. I think its hard being a younger sibling, especially when there is no one there to build up your self esteem. Typically, I believe it's the parent's job, but I think us older siblings need to throw em a bone every now and then and I think that's all this movie is showing. No there's no manual saying we gotta take care of our siblings, but we do have to love them, and this was just Dot showing love.

Without a doubt Kit is immature,jealous, and grossly insecure. Dottie was wiser, smarter, and a far more talented as a baseball player. Kit was threatened by her. Even though Dottie was never a show off or a person who bragged or intentionally put Kit down, Kit always accused her of holding her back. She was always laying her failures and insecurities at Dottie's feet. As far as I'm concerned Dottie dropped that ball on purpose out of pity for Kit because she valued her sister's love and happiness above her own personal ambition. What's even more disgusting is that after calling Dottie a bitch, throwing a ball past her head and shattering a window, and telling Dottie to leave her alone, Kit all of a sudden, after getting what she wants, wants Dottie to stay in the league. me rolls eyes.
I'm the youngest of four girls and never felt like I was in competition with my sisters or felt like I was in my sister's shadows. Their successes were my successes and their failures and disappointments my failures and disappointments. One sibling and I both went into the medical field. I never once felt like I had to get through school and pass my boards because my sister did. In fact her success was an inspiration to me. Kit in my opinion has severe insecurity and is in need of therapy and Dottie dropped the ball. The End. -

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that your parents made sure that you all felt loved equally, and didn't put you all in competition with one another or make one of you feel like the golden child. If I'm right, then your dynamic wasn't the same as that of Dottie and Kit.

Yep, Kit is supremely annoying in an otherwise wonderful film. Whiny and self pitying with an enormous sense of entitlement. In all honesty they could have cut her story out of the film entirely and just had Dottie join the team on her own and it would have worked just as well.
