Hello fellow peeps!! Hope everyone is warm where they are, it’s freaking windy here and I am waiting for the ninja squirrel and demonic cat to fly past my house, it is that windy.

Howdy, back! I'm lamenting how we were ripped off this year. No real winter. This is the freaking Pacific Northwest, and we hardly got any rain. We did get a windy day. A windy day. What a rip. Spring started in January. Anyone with winter, SEND IT HERE.

They’re probably having fucking four ways with the Pike parents.

OMG, how are John and Dee surviving? They're having to actually parent some of their own kids!

Mrs. Bruen the housekeeper

Claudia is banned from reading Nancy Drew books (probably to get her to read them). Nancy's housekeeper's name is Mrs. Gruen. Just a coincidence that the name is so close to Dawn's housekeeper?

And when I was a kid, we had CHORES. Two adults, two kids. Chores. None of this two-kids-one-housekeeper. We were two-kids-one-chore list.

Stacey gets so excited, you’d think someone mentioned NY to her, ( ... )

I'm ready to start glaring.

-I would gladly, if I was freakin Elsa lol!

None of this two-kids-one-housekeeper.-and Jeff is the only one who lives there fulltime. Must be nice to have money to spend on someone else to clean your damn house.

-Well screw Nikki Reed too! DJ Qualls is awesome!

-I'll join you and lisaerin for the glaring! I'll bring the cookies, Pepsi and Chivas!!!

On rare occasion, when I've been too busy working that I just can't get caught up on housework, and my husband is too busy, we'll hire a housecleaner for the afternoon. Full-time live-in housekeeper? Hell no. Housekeepers do more than just clean. The play and prepare meals, do the shopping, basically everything the stereotypical suburban housewife of the 1950's would be expected to do, except "service" the master of the house.

Even the Obamas make their kids do chores in their home-section of the White House. Dawn and Jeff should have chores. There's no guarantee they'll be rich enough to hire a servant to live in their homes and run it for them. A friend of mine in high school had no chores or anything, and let's just say that, 16 years after getting out, she still doesn't know how to take care of her home. She never learned, and as an adult, she's had such a hard time adjusting to life without someone else doing it all that she's still suffering.

I think that Dawn will find any excuse to hate Carol. Carol says "Hi," Dawn would complain about her not minding her own business. Carol doesn't talk to the girls- Dawn says she's a stuck up snob. Carol drives whatever car that Dawn deems appropriate for a thirty-two year old- Dawn complains about being seen in it. I don't see how Carol telling Stacey to take a surfing class is trying to act like she's young and hip. Then again, I can't do a cartwheel, never mind the mental gymnastics Dawn is doing to think that Carol is trying to be young and hip.

I think that Dawn will find any excuse to hate Carol. --Absolutely agree with you there. Dawn is one of those people that can't be pleased no matter what a person does or says. I realize this can't be easy if you see your parent(s) getting serious about somebody else and they're moving on from a divorce. It just bugs me that Dawn is so damn selfish that she's not thinking of her own father and wondering if he's happy, trying to have an open mind and getting to know Carol without having all the pre-judgments of hating her. No, all that matters is Dawn.

anabellabobella March 19 2015, 04:45:22 UTC

Nope. Dawn doesn't get to whine it's because of the divorce when she schemed to get her mom and Richard back together within a couple weeks of moving back, which presumably would have been very soon after the divorce was finalized.

shatisarockgod March 19 2015, 06:27:45 UTC

I sorta let that one slide on purpose since Dawn was probably so eager and thought it'd be cool to have her friend be her stepsister as well. I imagine Dawn would've thrown the same shitfit if MA hadn't been a package deal with this remarriage.

Your mom and step dad are probably so fucking HIGH right now, I doubt they give a shit. They’re probably having fucking four ways with the Pike parents.--lmao at the image of that ( ... )

I have an ipod but I think I still prefer the dated reference to walkman since that was the item originally being mentioned.

This is why I'm trying to get all of the first 39 Nancy Drew books as printed before 1959. After that, the books were re-written to be "less racist" (basically things like black housekeepers were viewed as racist, so the solution was to turn them into white people), and Nancy was rewritten as a good girl 1950's style by making her less assertive than her original self.

Dawn says that Carol is too old to act like she’s one of their friends at 32--Cause being friendly is something that goes out of style once you hit a certain age. It's not so much that Carol's trying to be their best friend who'll chat on the phone all night. She's going to be Dawn's step-mother (I think knew where it was headed), and was just trying to be nice to Jack's daughter and her friends ( ... )

shatisarockgod March 19 2015, 06:39:01 UTC

Something tells me those Nancy Drew books are hard to find, are they? I know we still have ebay and places like that around but if they're on the rare side, I know that tends to jack the prices up for the stuff you don't see in that many places.

I'd definitely label the BFF friendship as being on the unusual side and I can see where you or anybody else would have a problem with it. It gets even stranger how this kid is basically the factor on if the other people in your friends group can go somewhere or not if your friend is the one choosing the event.

anabellabobella March 20 2015, 07:46:35 UTC

We had a large group camping trip planned. Cancelled since the kid doesn't like camping. We had a group horseback-riding day planned. Cancelled since the kid doesn't like horses. Our social group had 67 adults, and 3 of them are the official leaders (they hep keep things organized), and then she went off and made the kid a leader, so we're supposed to defer to the kid. We've lost members who don't want to bow down to a bratty 12-year-old kid who won't hesitate to make other, younger kids cry. Yet Jean thinks this girl is the best, smartest, bestest kid EVARRRR.

Since most events are planned as adult-only, but are in places where kids can legally be, the girl can go since she's a leader of the group. We no longer have official outings places the girl can't go, or anywhere she doesn't want to go.
