[QUOTE="Ms Southworth, post: 48586, member: 312"] Great update, Karin :spinning: I think that Pam did a good job of explaining the situation to Rebecca. Pam gave Rebecca an explanation that was suited for a seven year old girl, even if it meant telling a little white lie. I'm happy that Rebecca understood her mother's reasoning for cutting Christopher some slack for the time being. :) However, I didn't understand why Pam had to "blame" Bobby for the grounding of Rebecca! Pam could have just said that [B]they[/B] (Bobby and Pam) had agreed that Rebecca's actions and behavior wasn't appropriate. If they're going to co-parent, then co-parent! ;). Anyway, it didn't seem like Rebecca even noticed (since she really [B]loves[/B] her daddy), so maybe I should just keep quiet! :D A few pieces of [B]friendly[/B] advice that I hope that you'll consider: (a) Please think about using the verb "whine" somewhat less, since it just has such a negative ring to it. Often the word can easily be replaced by verbs like "complain" or "protest". ;) (b) It's crossed my mind several times while reading this fan fic, but now I'm choosing to speak up about it! Personally, I don't like it when Pam addresses Rebecca like she's 1 or 2 years old! Most parents don't continue saying "... [I]Mommy's going to ...[/I]". Instead, you would say "... [I]I'm going to ...[/I]". Another example is "... [I]liked sharing a room with mommy[/I]". :( Generally, parents stop saying "mom" or "dad" in these situations when children are around 3 years old and instead say "I" or "me". Please don't take this as criticism but rather as friendly advice! :kiss: Please update soon! :spinning: I can't wait to find out what characters we'll hear about next! Will we go back to Ewing Oil to follow up on JR and Bobby (or Cliff)? Or will we be go back to the main house? :think: :cooler: Don't leave us in suspence for too long! :clap: [/QUOTE]
