Jenny pushing some boundaries and Ben handled it well I also like that he talked to Hunter who is okay with the situation changing between Ben and Michael because he knows that he still had Ben and is willing to help with Jenny as well.
Like Brian and Justin have done Ben is building quite the village to help him with Jenny.
This is going to be a very interesting learning process for Ben and Jenny but they will be ok.
Jenny is quite a smart, observant little girl so course she noticed how Michael is around her and how he doesn't really pay attention to her.

Biology Doesn't Equal Parenthood.
That is true and basically explains Lindsay, Mel and Michael they are so focused on themselves they forget about anyone else.
Michael actually thinks Ben is going to change his mind and he should be given custody of Jenny.
He can barely take care of himself so how will he take care of a seven year old?
Date: Mar 30, 2022 9:42 am Title: Chapter 50 Father-Daughter Bond
Mel and Lindsay didn't even set a anything for Ben concerning Jenny?
Those Bitches!!!
Ben talking things over with Brian and Justin is good because at the moment they are in the same boat and having some help and occasional advice.
Telling Emmett and Ted is good because I don't think they will take Michael's side in this nor will they take the girl's side either.
Deb will be on Michael's side because that is her son.
Brian, Justin and Ven are on the kids side in this and can't spend their time catering to the Kids pretending to be Grown Ups.
Author's Response:
I love that Ben has Brian and Justin's support.
Date: Mar 30, 2022 9:20 am Title: Chapter 49- What is a Parent?
Mel and Lindsay came to the realization that having a baby means eventually they grow up needing more attention and it is so hard.
Well Thank You Dr Freud! Now explain relativity????
Lindsay has an great opportunity to sell and display art since she can't do art and that is her dream so that comes before Gus and Jenny.
And Mel is a partner handling bigger harder cases which is way more important than Gus and Jenny obviously.
What Was The Point in Having Kids In The First Place?!?!?!?!!!!
Michael is acting like he is fourteen and refuses to grow up or accept that he is a husband and father now.
All Three Are So Selfish and Self-Absorbed!!!
Ben asking for a solid agreement that protects Jenny and him is good because he is willing to take on the responsibility of of being a grown up and a parent.
Author's Response:
My story is not friendly to either Michael or the girls. I'm not fond of any of them.
Date: Mar 30, 2022 8:53 am Title: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Conversations
It was a tough discussion but Gus needed to know and it will be better to tell Gus about the bashing when he is about older and together so they can comfort each other after.
Gus really is a smart little boy who has a great deal of empathy for others which he inherited from Brian who is the exact same way.
Justin and Brian are good role models for Gus and that means Gus will be a good role model for Colin as he figures out the world around him.
Author's Response:
Gus will be a great big brother. Justin and Brian have to weigh Gus' childhood undertanding with keeping things like hte bashing at a discussion that he can understand.
Date: Mar 30, 2022 8:39 am Title: Chapter 47- A Weekend With My Dads
Michael Is Useless!!!!
Ben is the only one who cares for Jenny and he is the only one who cared for Hunter so Ben will have to make some serious decisions to guarantee that his children are well taken care and he is happy as well.
Author's Response:
Ben thinks of Jenny and Michael only thinks of michael.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 9:31 pm Title: Chapter 46- Dinner with Good Friends
Ben is making the right decision for himself and Jenny they both need people in their lives who will support them and offer assistance but not bulldoze over them, Michael can't see past his own childish wants while Mel and E can't see past their own noses.
Author's Response:
Ben is going to be a great dad.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 9:12 pm Title: Chapter 45-Good New and Bad News
So Happy That Ben Can Get Custody Of Jenny she will be wiry someone who actually loves her and wants to see her happy.
I doubt Michael will put up much of a fight just like the girls they all just want to be happy without their children.
Author's Response:
Yeah Ben for wanting to be a dad.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 9:02 pm Title: Chapter 44- The Father Father Talk
Michael has sugarplum fantasies if having Brian back in his life like it use to be he isn't thinking about Jenny Rebecca or her needs only his matter right now.
Ben should really prepare himself to be a single parent because Michael isn't able to handle more than comics books to focus on his daughter or anyone else.
Author's Response:
Very sad that Michael only sees himself in terms of comics books.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 8:49 pm Title: Chapter 43- Evening At Britin
Michael Mel and Lindsay are children playing at adults and they are failing Big Time!!!
Mel and Lindsay are way more excited about having a kid free weekend then trying for five minutes to make an effort to love either of children, plus now Lindsay is upset that Brian won't be paying for their upkeep since Gus lives with his dads.
Jenny is in the same situation as Gus and only Ben is looking out for her well-being while Michael is actually Luke he is still eighteen hanging out at Sport's and Babylon for Brian to show up.
All three of them are going to lose and they don't even see it.
Author's Response:
they like Brian as he was and they are not interested in their children- that's obvious
Date: Mar 29, 2022 6:41 pm Title: Chapter 39- Pick Up
Ate we sure Menus actually a good lawyer? Tearing up a copy of a legal document doesn't make it not legal anymore.
Duh!!!!!!!
Lindsay scaring Gus is not a good move at all.
Author's Response:
Anger can make people do wierd stuff.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 6:01 pm Title: Chapter 38- Reality Check
If everyone would just stop talking to Michael like he was five year old maybe he would understand how to be an adult?
Yeah that wouldn't work either.
Ben needs to stop lowering himself to hold onto to someone who really doesn't see him as important but just something to brag over.
Michael enjoys behaving like he is still fourteen and not even Jenny Rebecca s going to burst the bubble of Brian Kinney being all his.Mel and Lindsay are two more delusional people who needs to be smacked upside their heads, thru don't even want Gus just don't want Brian towin.
Author's Response:
Michael only sees JR as a way to be with Brian. Hopefully, Ben will do something to open his mind.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 5:49 pm Title: Chapter 37- Custody
Brian Really Is A Genius and Lindsay painted herself in a corner with no way out and guarantees that Mel.doesn't have a leg to stand on.
I am surprised Lindsay and Mel weren't there to get Gus perhaps work was more important?
Author's Response:
Brian played them right into his hands. He just let them dig their own hole. Let's see them get out of this one.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 5:37 pm Title: Chapter 36- Fallout
Michael is so delusional alive can see is if he has Jenny Rebecca then Brian will spend more time with him not the responsibility of taking care of a small child.
Moron!!
Lindsay can sit at him crying into her tofu meatloaf because she hasn't noticed her son hasn't been home in a month!
Mel is just bitter age hasn't noticed Gus hasn't been in a month too she felt her career was more important just like Lindsay.
Though I am curious what the hack did they do with the money Brian gave them for Gus?
Deb should seriously stay out of this at the moment it isn't her business until Brian and Justin are ready to tell the story stay away.
Author's Response:
Sad moment when neither Mel or Linds realized they hadn't seen Gus in a month.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 5:21 pm Title: Chapter 35- Where Do I Belong
Boom Goes The Dynamite!!!!
Brian just laid everything out on the table and now the family knows the real situation not the one Lindsay and Mel would have invented to make Brian and Justin look bad while turning everyone against them.
They haven't seen or spoken to Gus in a month and trying to act like they are Mothers of The Year?!
Bitch Please!!!!!
If they want fight Brian and Justin will give it to them.
Author's Response:
The one who is hurting is Gus- imagine your moms didn't even call for a month. Glad that Brian and Justin told everyone what was going on.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 5:02 pm Title: Chapter 34- Lego City
Gus gave a little stubborn push there but Justin handled it smoothly and Gus knows there are jyst some boundaries he can't cross.
Lindsay and Mel's life is such a mess and sadly there home reflects that chaos quite well.
Author's Response:
Gus is acting like any child who is testing his boundaries. Glad that Justin stood his ground.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 4:52 pm Title: Chapter 33- Lego Retrieval
Total indifference in Lindsay's whole attitude towards Gus UT like "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind * for her she just cares about hobnobing with famous artists than she does Gus.
That Is So Sad!
Looks like Lindsay has Brian beat at being a Cold-hearted AHole!!
Author's Response:
Lindsay is now more focused on her career than her child. So sad.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 4:40 pm Title: Chapter 32- Tears and Fears
Brian grew up and accepted love in his life thanks to Justin who showed him that he WILL always love him simply for being Brian.
Michael and Lindsay told Brian to grow up for years and now that he has that are the ones who are acting like spoiled children.
Brian isn't miserable anymore and so they aren't happy.
Brian and Justin taking the time to explain to Gus what he can and can't do shows they are setting rules for him and he is accepting them without much fuss because he sees that they love him.
Mel and Lindsay might no notice any changes for quite sometime they are only focused on themselves which makes me wonder about Jenny Rebecca?
Author's Response:
Justin has been very good for Brian and Gus reaps the benefits.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 4:21 pm Title: Chapter 31- Gus' New Home
Lindsay and Mel would make a scene at Guy's school simply because they feel they are right and they wouldn't care if this embarrassed Gus besides they enjoy drama.
Brian looking into the paperwork for Gus is smart and it shows how far they were willing to go to perpetrate the lie that Brian has no legal rights to Gus and they can continue to receive more money.
This Is Insane!!
Author's Response:
Mel and LInds and lost sight of the important person here and that is Gus.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 4:09 pm Title: Chapter 30
Brian and Justin are doing a good by showing Gus he is a top priority in their life Lindsay practically broke a fingernail trying to get Brian to be apart of Guy's life when he was a baby and now that Gus is older she is the one neglecting her responsibility.
Mel WILK do anything to keep Gus from Brian so they have to be delicate about this Brian should definitely look into the custody agreement he had with Mel and Lindsay because maybe there is a way to get Gus without taking this to court?
Author's Response:
Brian obviously wants Gus in his life. Its sad that Mel and Linds don't show him they care.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 3:49 pm Title: Chapter 29- The Talk
They don't even try to compromise their schedules for Gus they just see him as an inconvenience to their life.
No child wants to feel like a burden to their parents but he didn't ask to be born in the situation where they as the parents don't take his basic needs under consideration.
Hearing Gus repeat what is said or done in that house is so sad they really don't understand that parenting doesn't stop just because Gus is ten now.
Author's Response:
Lindsay only saw Gus as a means to keep Brian in her life. Unfortunately, they didn't think toward what that means as he ages.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 3:36 pm Title: Chapter 28- Mikey's Lament
Not Surprised Michael is complaining about not seeing Brian more he only wants Brian around when HR is bored and what is with him saying he wants to check out hit guys?
Is Ben Not Good Enough?
Michael is exactly what he constantly calls Brian A Part Time Dad and he likes that title greatly.
Lindsay had the schedule ready for Brian and still these two educated women can't find time to work out a better schedule bro balance work life and home life.
Author's Response:
They don't see Gus as an important part of the family, but reather a burden and Brian sees him as the most important thing in his life.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 3:10 pm Title: Chapter 27- When World's Collide
Your Hair Appointment Is More Important Than Gus?
WTF??!?!?!!!!!
DId Mel and Lindsay not realize when they decided to have a baby that Gus wouldn't stay that way Forever?
So Sorry having kids who still need their attention is too much g of a burden for them maybe it should have been one of the conversations they should of had before they started a family.
Even with the hiccup with Gus getting picked up and taken to his soccer practice Brian and Justin still managed to be there for him, Mel and Lindsay couldn't even be bothered to rearrange their schedule to even try.
Even with Brian and Justin helping they are still too busy to make time for Gus or have a way to get him to not be responsible for Jenny.
Author's Response:
It is obvious that they are letting Brian do the heavy lifting for the parenting of Gus.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 2:54 pm Title: Chapter 26- A Family of Four
Yes it does take a village to raise a child and Thankfully Brian and Justin have surrounded themselves with good people to help them figure out how to make time for Colin, Gus and themselves so they don't get lost in the shuffle.
Mel and Lindsay have the same thing but the refuse to utilize the resources to make everything run smoother.
They want to prove to the world that they can do but they are failing at every turn and it is hurting Gus.
Author's Response:
Luckily for Gus, he has Brian and Justin and they want to be good parents.
Date: Mar 29, 2022 2:41 pm Title: Chapter 25- Gus' Wish
Sounds like Mel and Lindsay live in a world of chaos and instead of working out how to fix it they would rather blame the other, that they are putting their careers over the family they told everyone who would listen that they wanted.
If they don't have time for Gus now then at some point they won't have time for Jenny Rebecca too?
Author's Response:
I think they rely on Brian to pick up the slack for Gus whereas they won't do the same for JR as Michael is not dependable. He really doesn't see anything about parenting.
