I suppose, considering what she's dealing with, it's possible there's only so much sanity she can introduce Mal to, and it's entirely possible that as much as she puts in, it's not enough to balance out how reckless Mal is.

Can I move in with you??! 'Cause I've been trying to get that across ta this household for a while and it's...just...not...coming.
Did I say the jobs got done without whining, fussing, massive resistance, and Mal threatening to shoot anyone who doesn't do their gorram job?
Besides, it's Serenity we're talkin' about, not my household!

I once wrote a happy working song for the crew to sing if there'd ever been a musical episode, but I forgot to put it on paper. The only part I remember is at the very end, Mal walks into the cargo bay and sees them all singing and dancing and says/bellows (not sings) "What the HELL? Get back to work!"
I think it rhymed with "quirk."

I'm not trying ta pick on Byte, but I do HAVE to say, eloquently put. I have tried to put that same thought in words before and failed... Some people do always have to let everyone know that they are different and they use it like a shield to ram a conversation with. They just can't help but take everything as personal and then argue it to death... That's been happening to me a lot of late...

Also, again, not a medical thing. And if someone is flat out WRONG about something, I am GOING to correct them. I let Midwesterner know without battering them early on that I didn't agree with the statement, and I only continued when I was further provoked. I was willing to let it slide until they insisted on it.
Does everyone want to fight about this? I'm pretty sure we resolved this already. I'm willing to admit that yes, I take this personal, and this is the ONLY issue I take personal, because of some AWFUL experiences I've had living in Utah, such as being told by an Uncle that I'm going to hell because I'm not going to have kids. But when someone has a sore spot, maybe people shouldn't keep POKING at it, yeah? Midwesterner doesn't know better, but YOU do.

My post got eaten, twice. 
Byte, honny. I really really!!!!!!!!!! wasn't referring to you, and I doubt MWR meant anything by it eather.
Have kids, don't have kids. Prolly shouldn't start threads about people having kids and invite the discussion, unless you just wanna prove you're right about not having 'em and re-justify your position to yourself. And all things being equal, you are right. All things being equal, there is no logical damn sense ta havin em'.They're expensive, they're messy, they're a risk, and they can drive you out of your mind, at times.
Except that they are awesome. I'm not gonna get all fuzzy wuzzy about it, but yeah, once again I will say that you are missin out on a little piece of happy. And I'm sure that's all anybody wants for you Byte, is to be happy. Even your misguided blowhard of an uncle. And you aren't the only one that gets buggered by their friends and families for something or another. You might wanna try ta lighten up, 'cause if this truly is your standpoint, you're going to get buggered about it until you are no longer able to reproduce, and people are still going to try to make you regret it, even after. You chose this road, you know what people think about it, you're going to have to find a way to deal, or keep on fighting. YOUR choice.

That was not at ALL the point. As I said to Midwesterner, before we started into this side tangent, did it particularly sound like I DON'T want Zoe to have kids? I was only asking if she's ready for them, and I'm kind of on the fence about it, based on Zoe's attitudes and behaviours. There are some things that make it seem like she might be emotionally ready, and some things that don't.
Stop speculating about my motives, please. I can in fact be objective and take my personal biases out of consideration when discussing something that has nothing to do with me. For example, have you ever noticed I'm a Mal/Inara shipper? Does that mean I'm particularly interested in having any romantic entanglements of my own? HELL NO. To me, the very idea is repulsive.
I will keep fighting, because I'm not going to give up or give in.
