I know this one is going to be good! The writers must've been on crack to come up with the shit that goes on in this book

[bleeding_thorn2]

Mary Anne, this should be the thing you're embarrassed about instead of kissing your boyfriend in front of the rest of the class. How did the rest of the class not burst out laughing at this? I know you babysit a lot, have a very creepy obsession with kids but you're 13 years old!
-I would have laughed my ass off if some stupid bitch pulled that in class.

But my friends and I also throw these huge shitfits, whine and moan when you've got a kid that can actually think for themselves instead of playing follow the leader all day long
-LMAO!

Thank you!

I'm still glad they gave these books different kinds of families but it never made sense how they act like it's the most rare thing in the world to have a step family

In the 70's, some guy named Sherwood Schwartz read that a third of families with kids in them had step-kids. He realized that those families needed to be represented on TV. And that's the way they became the Brady Bunch.

By the way, Carol and her first husband divorced, but the network wouldn't allow that to be mentioned on TV. That's why her husband just disappeared instead.

-And since that's all they ever watch; you'd think they'd remember that!

I feel like Mary Anne would be the type of girl to talk shit about you behind your back and then make you feel guilty for getting mad. I love how the girls are like, “We can totally babysit when Sharon and Richard are at work.” Have they forgotten that they have school? Are they going to drop out of school to look after the kid or bring the baby to school with them

[bleeding_thorn2]

love how Mary Anne and the rest of the BSC are so far up their asses that they think that just because they babysit they can totally raise a child. I would pay money to see them put on one of those scared straight programs where they’re acting all snotty and being all, “We babysit all the time. It’s not that hard to raise kids,” and then they have to babysit kids who haven’t been drugged with Kool Aid. I bet they would last five minutes before they complain about how the kid was being difficult when the kid just spilt some milk

Maybe Good Bye Stacey, Stacey's Mistake, and Welcome Back, Stacey? I've never seen the Gold Girls or Sex and the City, so I can't help you.

Thank you for your input!

i think one of the things that bothered me the most was that two 13 year olds were trying to plan a budget, with rent and groceries and stuff, solely on their real-life income. i'm 32, with two degrees and a pretty good job, and *i* could barely fucking afford to live on my own. how on earth are a couple of kids supposed to afford rent, let alone food and utilities? if Mrs. Boyden didn't spend so much time knocking back beers at happy hour to deal with how dumb her students are, she probably would have thought to give each student a fictional job and income, so they could have planned accordingly and learned how to make an actual budget.

-I get the whole thing that they want to help the teens plan for the future; but then they should have given everyone a fictional income!

When I was a kid and first read this book, this stood out to me too. At least the game called Life gives you a job.

Anyway, the class is now full of ‘married’ couples and I have no idea if this was a real thing in classrooms; I went to an all-girl High School when we had to carry yarn dolls as our babies and make up husbands or be single moms. I chose to be a single mom

[bleeding_thorn2]

I always thought listening to babies cry for an hour and kids at their worse would be more effective against teen pregnancy

[anabellabobella]

You had flour sacks. We had Baby Think It Over. That doll... I can't link in a comment, so I'll just have you google it.

HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK! I THINK IT’S ACTUALLY SCARIER!

And that can't be MA on the cover...!

WHAT WAS SHARON FUCKING DOING; (AND HOW FUCKING HIGH WAS SHE?); THAT LEAD TO HER LEAVING FREAKIN HEDGE CLIPPERS IN THE GODDAMN BREAD DRAWER?

Sharon's fucking with them. If she did this stuff at work, she'd be out a job. So she's just fucking with the kids.

Sharon wouldn’t even have to quit her job; the girls declare. Because of course, K-Ron’s mom still works and THAT HOUSE HAS NANNIE, YOU DUMB FUCKS!

Sharon could quit sine Richard's a rich attorney, but that still shows how these girls are so wealthy that they don't think twice about having live-in help.

Oh, it’s a mock wedding for Modern Living class. Everyone has to pair off and get married

They shouldn't have had to have fake weddings. That would have made me uncomfortable.

Mary Anne’s actually fucking happy that the teacher didn’t make her kiss Logan

If the teacher required kissing, the legal system would get involved.

NIMROD MARY ANNE ACTUALLY RAISES HER FUCKING HAND;

[bleeding_thorn2]

And that can't be MA on the cover...!
-I still say she looks like Angela Bettis!

So she's just fucking with the kids.
-that actually explains a lot!

People I know who don't want to raise kids still love kids, but they love being able to give the kids back at the end of the day. Being with a kid for a few hours is easier than raising one day in, day out, for years and years and years.
-Hell yea, I used to babysit my nieces but at the end of the day? I got to go home! Totally different than if I was raising them myself!

When you're a parent who gives a damn, part of your brain is hyper alert, even at night when you try to sleep. It's a biological thing. Women, especially, are wired to wake up pretty quickly to take care of the baby. My daughter is 5, still sleeps with me (sometimes on top of me, like she's trying to make a mommy-daughter Monster High fusion person), and even when she's not, I'm aware of my brain being partly awake to listen for her.

-I'm not a mom; but when I used to babysit overnight for my nieces; I rarely slept. Neither did they, my youngest niece would wake up and cry until I held her, and once I calmed her down, the older one would wake up having a meltdown and that was it. It was rare they actually slept well and even if they did; I couldn't. I was too worried about something happening and me not hearing them because I was too asleep. Moving here, it took forever to sleep on a good schedule and even still; sometimes I have trouble sleeping!
