 Well, it's one explaination why she might seem to be oblivious of things:
 people with multiple personality disorder suffer from selective amnesisa;
 and I think it's not uncommon for them to develop a "nice" caretaker
 personality to protect the others and relate to the world.
 
 And notice how they were so afraid she'd get angry in one story; perhaps
 the family knows her other side (cue Kasumi(2) ;)
 
 Usually multiple personality disorder is related to some early
 trauma: it's been previously suggested that Kasumi was sexually
 abused by Doctor Tofu. However one might contruct darker possiblities
 also involving, say, her mother's death, and/or Happosai. If Soun also had 
 repressed memories and multiple personalities, it could explain how he
 overlooks seeing the Ryouga/P-chan transformation.  >>

 personally, I think this is plain overanalysis.  Ranma is a comedy and most 
things are done to evoke a laugh. Overanalysis of comedy is just making 
that's suppossed to be fun serious.
