MAKE IT STOP!!!

Yes, this has been a soap cliche for many, many years. Decades. But how many times have we heard this on ATWT in just the past two weeks alone??? Eight? Ten? Good Lord, writers, enough!

ICAM, to me it's like chalk on a blackboard.  As a divorced mother of two, I always felt as did my children that we WERE a family.  Their father was always a part of their lives, so they were blessed by having two families.  While our two families were not best friends, the relationships were cordial and cooperative.  I'm trying to remember if we've seen that lately on ATWT.  (I don't watch other daytime, except the occasional scene on GL.)  Those poor kids will grow up to be as dysfunctional as their parents.  Parker is already showing the signs; some to think of it so is Sage and Faith.

They seem to think that being a family with a Mommy, Daddy and 2 or 3 children automatically equals happiness.  Not for these people.  They would be a lot happier to divorce and work out actual custody agreements (as opposed to Jack and Carly's constant bickering about things that should be spelled out).

  • You said it, Kitty! They emotionally torture these children. eom MaryHatch
  • Aren't they still divorced? Maybe they need to renegotiate the custody agreement because I think Jack is supposed to have actual custody and then Jack should get the he// out of Carly's house. ht
