She wanted a daughter, but after seeing the way Lucy has turned out, maybe it was not such a good idea. Lucy was the daughter of the weakest of the Ewing men, and even the strongest of the Ewing men do not have the strength to say no to her. Consequently, she is spoiled.

J.R. says that while Bobby was having fun, he was learning the oil business, and working hard.

She is empathetic. Bobby tells her to hurry up and get dressed for the grand opening of their disco tonight.
