Usually I agree with your sage advice Ms Kelly, but for all we know her adopted mother might be intent on offering her up to a virgin sacrifice.
She doesnt know who her birth mother is, or how to find her or if her birth mother even has any interest in her well being.
I am a little disappointed, I was sure that you would have a lesson for us on gratitude, after Bree's demonstration that she has none for the people who have given her so much.
You have given me much to consider. I can see how Bree's recent attitude would point to a need for her thankfulness. I am so dismayed by her ungratefulness that I am ignoring it for the meantime. I try to avoid brattiness...
Truly an inspiring offering for all to consider. Poor Bree must exercise her medulla oblongata or it will wither in a foosball and beer induced haze of mindless boy fun.
Proper career planning is indeed very important, and part of every well designed Homeschooling program. I fear that Bree is missing her studies in the face of notHiding from the murderous Order. She needs the support oh her peers now more than ever before.
You are very welcome, friend. I do hope Bree does something soon, career-based or education-related and soon. Thank you for your excellent points. Foosball and beer can really keep one from his/her studies. (I have seen it all too often.) In addition, notHiding from the sinister and dastardly Order can really distract a teenage girl from what is truly important in life...
Ah, the thought of lyn and mother bring back some fond, yet uncomfortable feeling in me. Memories can be both amazing and confusing. It is always good to hear from you, MysteriousC.
Although career planning is important, let's not rush Bree. I speak from experience when I say career plans often do not lead in the direction one planned or hoped for. With some better planning and foresight I could have averted the disaster my career has become. I pray Bree does not make the same mistakes.
I am empathetic of your career-disaster situation. I would agree that planning and foresight are necessary. I would have expected a bright girl like Bree to have already begun some career exploration. It is disappointing... Thank you for sharing, thenewval.
Ms. Kelly, I have a very serious question for you. How do you know that Bree's mother isn't already dead? or perhaps that her mother is still involved in the Order and not a stable person to turn to? It seems that Bree's mother hasn't been making an effort to contact Bree like her father did, so it makes me skeptical that she would be the right person for Bree to turn to.
"You created me, Mom, So I guess you're to blame, For the love that I feel, Just from hearing your name... You're as tender as corned beef, And warm as pastrami... I luv my Mommy!"
Well done. I almost had nothing to say... but you know me I always end up asking something. So here goes. True a mothers love is unconditional, but... In "My Dad Said" Bree tells us her dad is not her real dad and her Mom is not her real Mother. So she may not feel safe with her mother figure. Possibly she could seek her real mother. Just a thought.

I can't take the credit for that one, mskelly. I just watch too many cartoons.

For some reason, when I saw the clip for "support," I thought of lyn and her mother, Rebecca.

Well, we have some suspicions that the mother who raised Bree is not her real mother. Could her birth mother be waiting somewhere for her?
Great questions, camerondarling. You have given me much to consider. Thank you.

An ingenious lesson. I'm confident Bree will do what's right.
