Subject: I CJ stayed with Amanda instead of Denise because Amanda is her responsibility, not Denise's. Not good form to go on vacation and leave your troubled teen with one of your friends.
In reply to: Jubellant 's message, "When Amanda called her Mom from Denise's and CJ told her to have Denise call her in the morning, that is when they most likely had their heart to heart. CJ probably wasn't too thrilled that Denise had not given her the head's up that Amanda was there all day but after her lack of help with Jeremy I think she let it go. CJ stayed home because the more they go against Amanda's feelings for Jeremy the more she will probably cling to him. Also she might go and do something drastic like marry the guy.

[> [> [> I think there is some cultural difference here that I find very interesting to point out... I seriously do not get what the big deal is about Amanda not wanting to go on vacation with her parents. The girl is 18 years old, after all; a grown-up, for all intents and purposes, as many were quick to point out when it came to Jeremy and his taking responsibility for what he did. When I was 18, and went on vaca with my parents, I was the odd ball out in my class; generally by latest 16, teenagers here have enough of family vacations and stay behind, and parents let them. No big deal, no hard feelings. Hey, by that age, I moved halfway around the world for a year to take care of other people's kids! -- Colie - from Germany, btw, just in case you were wondering, 17:14:54 07/29/07 Sun [1]

[> [> [> [> I could make my own decisions at that age as well. If my parents went on a big vacation I'd probably go, but if I didn't want to I didn't have to. I could make my own plans. Now, I think the issue that CJ and Michael had about it was that she planned to go and see a kid that she admitted to seeing whom they knew was abusive. I wouldn't go on vacation and leave my child to walk into a dangerous situation, I don't care how old they were. -- Theresa, 20:09:28 07/29/07 Sun [1]
