[laurac]

I have it taped!

[bunsy]

I just loved it when that one person said that thing to the other person and then they responded! It was awesome!

Love Parenthood. Enjoyed last night's episode as well.

[laurac]

Thanks, Bunsy. Now you wrecked it for me!

[bunsy]

So sorry.
Not.

[lilmermaid]

I love how they always somehow manage to make you cry in every episode!

LOVED the special music guest who was a contestant on American Idol and the addition of Ray Romano to the cast. It's going to be a great season!!!
I have to admit I was a little lost though, like we missed a whole summer of what's going on.

No fair I want to talk about it!!!!

[bunsy]

Lil! Add SPOILER ALERT to your thread title

[lilmermaid]

Good call Bunsy!

Now does anyone else feel like we totally missed some things?!?! Or did I just miss an episode about how Amber got where she was and I only remember Julia getting the boy not anymore to the story!

SPOILER WARNING!!!!!

Well it is taking place 5 months after last year's season finale so we HAVE missed a lot of what is going on in their lives! Victor is the little boy that Julia got. He is a "Sky Baby" which means that for whatever reason the parent's rights are terminated and they have him up for adoption immeadiately so he won't go in "the system." Julia and her husband got the call that a child was available and gave verbal agreement to adopt him, sight unseen. That's how they got him. Now, 5 months later, Julia- being her usual neurotic self- can't warm up to him and is so scared of losing him that she isn't treating him the way she treats Syd so, even though he is doing whatever he wants, he doesn't feel part of the family. Of course Max isnt' helping, either- that's why Victor stole the lizard, Max made him feel bad so he had to get back at him.

[lilmermaid]

Okay that is what I was wondering about. I guess I didn't see where it would be 5 months later.

[angel22]

Yeah, Julia's husband said something like, "It's been 5 months, Julia and you treat him like he's a guest here and not a member of our family."

[bunsy]

Yep. That got him at the very end of the last season of the last episode.

[bunsy]

I can't believe the behaviors they allow Max to get by with. I know SEVERAL children with Aspergers and I know they are all different BUT they molly coddle him.
