Do we say,  ''You will go, because that's the law, and that's what you need to do, and that's what you're GOING to do?''

Nah!   We'll living in FLUFFdale now!

We go because we can get a new WARDROBE, and have lots of fun shopping!   Some of those great morals Fluff was going to be teaching to her children with Tool, and to her previous stepchildren.  (Such as Sage!   Let's get a 6 year-old girl a makeover when she's down in the dumps!)

Yeah, Brad!   GREAT catch!   Brad needs to go talk to Tom!

One of my first bonding experiences with my step daughters was shopping.  We learned a lot about one another, and 30 years later, we remember those sales fondly.  Besides, Liberty is in school, sort of, so the shopping trip, admitedly a bribe, worked.  And what's the harm in a make-over for Sage when she's 'down in the dumps' about something she has no control over.  Personally, I think you're picking for excuses to slam Katie - and I am not a Katie fan.

  • The main thrust of my post is that BRIBERY isn't a way to teach a child. The second point about the makeover is that I don't believe CHILDREN should be encouraged to wear makeup. And since Fluff was 1.) BRIBING a child, and 2.) ENCOURAGING a child to wear makeup, it was certainly brought up about her, as she was the one actually doing those acts! I believe children should have boundaries and rules set for them, and being adults before there time is not one of them, nor is bribery as a way to face unpleasant things in life. fee

    Why should we care if Liberty goes to school at all?!  I know I don't.  I was kind of hoping that she would jump in the lake & drown.  I find nothing appealing about the character.

    I'm still confused about how one gets a child (that you don't have custody of) a school transfer the day after they come to town.  When we moved, we had to provide all sorts of information & proof of residence & that this was indeed our child, lol.

  • Oh, not to mention that this child is supposedly only in town for a week, waiting for the DNA test results... why enroll her in school for a week?? =^..^=
  • I think because she's not going to leave, regardless! fee

    I can't get into this "BIG BRAD & KATIE" story. I've read about it, i saw the tv ads for it, and i think it's some of the worst writing i've ever seen on the show.
    I remember reading posts here (at MD) that feared Brad was gonna get sucked into the fluffster's world. And here we are, fans of the show, watching AP's NuBrad do this crappy story now, and having to watch Katie even more. Are the writers actually this determined to ignore the loyal fan-base that inherited ATWT. (My mom and dad both loved the show. Before vcr's, my dad had my mom tape-record the show, and he'd listen to it while he read his paper. And i'm positive that many who post here have a similar experience and memory; we know that's something we share here.)
    So, for me, watching the show is definitely more nostalgia than interest, cuz this writing is falling far from the standard ATWT once set in television programming, not just daytime!

    -Ok, i'm done.

    Yes, I totally flove how NuStepmommySnyder has returned to bribing juveniles to get their approval. *eyeroll* Isn't totally cute that a shopping trip is all it takes to be a good parental unit?

    There's like one month left of school, and Liberty not enrolling is somehow going to set her back an entire grade? Talk about an overreaction. Yes, the girl obviously needs something to occupy her time, but I'm not understanding how Brad could even enroll her now, since he's not her legal guardian.

    Have they established that the girl was even attending school back home?

    At her age, she could legally drop out. She and her mom seem to be butting heads, maybe that's why.

    We're supposed to think this is adorable and touching, fee, and say things like, "Wow, Katie's really growing up."

    Um... no.

    The funny thing is they don't even know that she's really Brad's daughter! It is beyond silly, the girl should be sent home to her mother until they know for sure.
