”I’m sorry! But I soooo didn’t like that nanny Irma. She was… she looked strange and had long black hair that was always disheveled. She was kind, but she reminded me of a witch because of that hair and scared me!”
” Yes, I think we said goodbye to Irma just after this trip.”
Bette said with a smile.
Angie was smiling, but with a hint of sadness
”I miss New York. My childhood was the most wonderful. Only warm memories.”
”Yeah, I miss that time sometimes, too. It was good. ”
Bette said in a low voice
”Come on, girls! It will be even better in the future, rest assured.”
Tina sensed that Bette and Angie were sad and decided to cheer them up a little. Bette looked at her, gave her another small smile and wink that Angie didn’t see, but Tina did. Tina smiled back at her ex-wife.
During their journey, Angelica fell asleep again, and Bette and Tina switched places so that Tina was driving and Bette was in the front passenger seat.
After 7 and a half hours, they drove up to the rented house, before stopping at a supermarket for groceries. Their house was separate from the rest of the residential buildings, it was located on the shore of Paradise Bay. It took about 15 minutes by car to get to the nearest store. Bette had specially chosen this quiet and private place for their rest. She only wanted to be with her family and see as few people around as possible. The house was beautiful, but small. There were 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room combined with a kitchen, which had a large fireplace and 2 wicker chairs with soft pillows. They also saw a large panoramic window instead of a wall, through which they could see the lake itself and a large wooden terrace with a table, several chairs, sun beds and a grill. It was a beautiful place. Bette fell in love with the view from the terrace, although it was already dark, but still beautiful. Tina liked the relaxed atmosphere. There were no loud unnecessary sounds, no cars, almost no people. There was only the faint sound of the stream that skirted their house and the sound of grasshoppers. Angie looked around the street for a while, then went into the bedroom to unpack her travel bag and take a shower. Tina walked over to Bette, who was leaning on the railing at the edge of the terrace. Tina leaned back against the railing and tilted her head to look at Bette.

Bette and Tina make a good parenting team. They did the right thing going to the party and bringing Angie home. Angie is still a child and does not need to be at a party partaking of drugs and alcohol. There can be nothing but trouble at such an event. Drugs and alcohol are responsible for a lot of teenage pregnancies as well as destructive or addictive behavior. It was also a good idea to take all her communications devices away from her until they reach an understanding of what is happening with Angie and to re-establish the boundaries of acceptable behavior which is expected of Angie. Angie needs to understand the dangers she its putting herself into with this drinking and drug use. And Angie sneaking out of the house and going to a party when she has been prohibited from engaging in social activities needs to be addressed. I do not have children, but my suggestion is lengthening the time in which she does not have access or at least controlled access to her cell phone and other communication devices. Perhaps asking her to get involved in some community service project which deals with people who have alcohol or drug addiction problems. Angie needs to see the results of substance abuse when it goes unchecked without experiencing the problem personally. A night of vomiting with your mom holding your hair out of the way and wiping the sweat away with a damp washcloth is not going to be available forever. Then what? It’s a part of becoming an adult…being responsible for your own decisions and the results of those decisions. And Angie needs to see that even though she wants to be an adult, she is no where near showing that she is willing to assume the responsibility of being an adult.
Going to the house on the lake for a few days as a family was brilliant on Bette’s part. Deciding to stop their love making was also a wise decision by both Bette and Tina. They truly need to have a conversation as to where this is all going before they start down that road. Temporary physical satisfaction is highly tempting and definitely hard to resist. But, having an understanding as to the intents of both parties, particularly given their history is a wise decision for both of them. And they need to inform Angie as much as possible as to what their intents and what the status is as they go. Withholding information from Angie on Bette and Tina’s relationship and intents will only cause hard feelings and distrust from Angie. As Angie said – she has felt left out in the past. Do not make that mistake with the current situation nor their intents for the future. Treat Angie as a party to the process – for she absolute is a huge part of both Tina and Bette’s life.
Thanks for this chapter….. I feeling good about this story… love to see more.
Agree. As the mother of a son I will say that the teenage rebellious moment is so challenging. Angie has some deep seeded hurt that her moms need to help her work through. She has to be their focus right now and seems to definitely have their attention. Bette’s notion to change the environment was excellent. Bette giving up a few days of important work is even more so. Hope Eddie takes a hike but he seems like an Eric type who will enjoy tormenting Angie about her moms and especially Bette. Do so at your own peril Eddie.I like this story as well.
I think many parents of teenagers reading this chapter will find Angie’s behavior somewhat familiar… Thanks for your comment, Billy! ❤️
Martha, I agree that children are always participants in the processes that occur in the family, but they are not always able to understand the motives and desires of their parents. Unfortunately, parents also make mistakes and sometimes do not know which way to move and whether it is right. It’s absolutely true that Bette and Tina should be honest with Angie, but it’s important to find a middle ground so that you don’t say too much and get your hopes up. Well, I think so. It’s always difficult. Thank you for reading and as always very interesting comment.

Lovely lovely chapter.
Bette’s need to be close to Tine while feeling the stress of Angie’s behavior was so tender and sweet and Tina’s awareness to halt their physical actions completely understandable. The focus is on Angie as it should be. Angie could get in over her head very quickly. Eric sounds like he enjoys the chase and will introduce her to all sorts of things she is not ready for. Making pillows to look like she was sleeping – oldest trick in the book – and good detective work on the mamas to find her. Funny how teens always think they are clever. Angie may need some counseling and strict restrictions on her phone, laptop and free time.
The trip away was an excellent idea and already yielded results the first night they were there. They will come back stronger I hope.
Sweet story Ada, thank you for writing

Agree. Dealing with Angie is bringing Bette and Tina closer together. Angie loves having her moms together. Even if she is hard on both of them. This trip is good for all of them. Tough love time Angie – you cannot lie to your parents. And Eddie is definitely BAD news. Bette is my warrior.
I agree Angie will be one of the best ways for Tibette to come together. Putting their issues aside to focus on a common concern will break barriers. This is very realistic response that a kid would have when there is disruption, confusion and inconsistency. Kids see more then parents would like and emotionally respond in ways that are complicated for parents.

Yes, for some reason, not only do teenagers think their parents are stupid, but parents often think that their children do not notice anything… this, of course, is not the case. Thanks, K!
I’m so looking forward to you releasing some new story!
Teenagers very often consider their parents fools who do not understand anything :) this is an interesting thought process in the minds of young people. Thank you for taking the time to read this chapter. It means a lot to me. Thanks BK!
So true!!! Lovely to come out the other side.
