I hate how Regina's being treated like such a villain. She is clearly the better parent. At least she was always thinking of her daughters. It may have been wrong of her to not tell anyone about the switch, but I totally understand why she did it, and after seeing the alternate reality, I think I might agree with her actions. She had a lready been Daphne's mother for 3 years. She didn't want her deaf daughter to leave her and live with a strange family. She hoped nobody would ever found out about the switch and everyone would have been better off not knowing. To be honest, the switch itself isn't the real conflict here. It's how the family dealt with it and the drama they caused. Both Bay and Daphne had good lives before the switch and that's all thanks to her not telling anyone. She only doesn't treat Bay like a daugter becuase she doesn't want to further complicate things, as Bay already had a family and Daphne had her. Unlike the Kennishes, she encourages the children to be themselves and accept others and doesn't buy them expensive gifts without having them work for it. I don't know about you, but I think that's much better parenting. Regina made some questionable choices, but her intentions were pure. John and Kathryn made the switch all about themselves and not their daughters. They only believed themselves to not be victims. Regina was just as much a victim of the switch, if not more. For 3 years she raised a child she thought was hers. The father left her. After she found out, she had to live in fear of losing the only family she had because of a mistake the hospital made. She also had to live with the guilt of her decision, which could not have been easy. If it wasn't for Regina John would be dead, Kathryn would be sleeping with the senator, Daphne would be a spoiled brat, Toby would be sinking in gambling debt, and Bay would be an emotionally abused runaway. Thank god for Regina.
