Daniel took some time to talk to Angie about the possibility that John David may go to Scotland with them but he was not sure this was going to happen. When he told Angie their moms’ position on the matter, Angie completely understood. On the way home, she talked to Daniel about what her moms’ had said. She explained that all their parents could do would be to ask him to go. They could not make the decision on behalf of John David’s parents.
Angie: Daniel. I know this invitation is not going exactly like you want it to. But if you press Mama B and Mama T to do more, well, you run the risk of Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins getting upset about the whole proposal. They may decide that your friendship with John David is interfering with their family relationship. They could decide that for the benefit of their family, maybe you and John David should not be friends.
Daniel: They wouldn’t do that. They know that John David and I are best friends.
Angie: You two are what twelve years old? They have never been apart from their children for that long. I’m sure they know that it is a wonderful opportunity for John David. But they may not be ready for that much separation from him. I suspect that if it were the Wilkins who ask you to go to Scotland for a month, Mama B and Mama T would be reacting in exactly the same way.
Daniel: But you live on the other side of the country. They let you go, why wouldn’t they let me?
Angie: Daniel? I am following the normal path of moving into my adult life. This move to the other side of the country has been in the works for years. I am of an adult age and have legal responsibilities for my life in many communities of this country. You are not even close to being an adult and neither is John David. And therefore, until you and John David reach the age of being adults, you will be the responsibility of your parents. They will determine where you live, where you go to school and who you associate with and where that will happen and when. They want only the best for you. I’m sure they would welcome John David on the trip. But they don’t have the right to tell the Wilkins what they should do in raising their children. The only way they can intrude would be if they violated some kind of law. And that hasn’t happened, has it?

Maybe Bette & Tina could think of a way to assist Suzanne in her education. Maybe loans to cover whatever isn’t covered by the scholarships Suzanne can get. Loans due (or forgiven) after getting her degree(s) and finally earning a full-time professional salary.
It might be helpful to run any ideas past Angie before talking with Suzanne. To make sure it won’t damage their relationship with Angie. Or, damage Angie’s friendship with Suzanne.
Just a thought!
I’m really loving this ongoing story line about life. Or, at least the life of my favorite couple who happen to have a lot, a lot of $$$$$. Thanks
Annie,
Stay tuned. You are somewhat clairvoyant. Bette and Tina will have a conversation about this very thing. How can we (Bette and Tina) help Suzanne out without interfering with her life. You see, money is a powerful influencer of people and the last thing they want to do is influence Suzanne’s life. Their objective is to help her without her feeling some kind of debt of gratitude for this help. Its a fine line to walk. They have learned a lot of lessons from Helena… do people like me for who I am or for what I can do for them or have done for them or could do for them? You see, friends who are bound by favors are not friends at all… or if they are, they are only temporary friends.
Thanks for reading….
I have been so fascinated with this fic that I have not commented on it. I just love this family, and how they interact. I must say I was a little shocked when Margaret and Mary came out as a couple. I knew something was going on with them, but never guessed that it was that. I really am enjoying it all please continue.
It is not my plan to ever go into the details of the relationship with Margaret and Mary… I can say that there are all kinds of relationships. The fact is, that they want to be with each other as much as they can and want to share living space and a bed. They are affectionate with each other but that may as far as it goes. They are not going to disclose the intimate details of their relationships if there are any to disclose. The fact is that they are enjoying being companions. I just wanted to demonstrate that Bette worry about the two getting along was just totally uncalled for. And I wanted another opportunity for Bette and Tina to talk to Angie about relationships. And I also wanted to talk a little about labels…
Thank you for reading and commenting…. I am pleased you are enjoying this story. This Volume comes to an end soon – only 4 more chapters. I am not sure if I will continue this story beyond that. Oh there are lot more that will happen in this family’s life. Its a lot of work… I guess I just need a little encouragement to keep writing. Thanks you.
