Grownups really ARE complicated, aren't they? Lol. You did a great job writing about them though. Excellent job staying in character with everyone. I'm glad it seems you've caught the fanfic bug too. Keep it up. And tell Lorie thanks for her beta efforts, she's a sweetheart! TAG

Michael, always the stubborn one... Who's the child, and who's the parent?

I so enjoyed this story. It had it all, angst, humor and a fast pace. It also brought everyday problems into the light and showed solutions. Best of all it gave us a happy ending. Good job!

Well done!! Nicely put together at the end. Glad Micheal was able to get his head out of his ass. Who'da thought getting smashed would've pixed it all. lol. At least now they all know and, in the future, just hand over a bottle of Beam! :)
Everyone is happy and the kids are flourishing. Not much more a parent can ask for.
Looking forward to your next one.
Cheers

Michael drives off into the sunset, without a clue... Mel and Linz do the right thing for once... Now Gus has two dads, and Justin finally gets his man, all nice and legal! Can't wait for more, onto the next chapter!
Hugs ~ Kathleen
Have I mentioned how prolific you are? Love it!

The guesthouse sounds like the perfect plan, I just hope that Mel and Brian aren't living to close to one another...

I'm loving this fic, a whiney Michael, a strong Brian and a sweet Justin! All is right with the world!

Awww. JR and Gus are so well adjusted. I'm sure whatever your idea is it will be good.

Sweet and funny!
I loved :
“I LOVE ALL YOU TWATS”
Emmett was on the floor laughing. Dad and Papa didn’t react at first, then just started laughing. Michael and Ben just turned around, but their shoulders we shaking. The women didn’t seem amused. I figure put the blame where it belonged. I picked up the microphone again.
“Aunty Em said you call people you love that.” I am my Dad’s son.
Mama and Mom headed for Aunty Em, he was smart, he ran.
Michael still acts like an idiot sometimes, but Ben just tells him to get a drink. Dad said that with the way he Queens out he is going to be an alcoholic soon.

I would like to see how Jennifer is when she's drunk; as wild as her son?

I think Michael is starting to get it....finally

You know if i ever make a squel to this his going to be dealing with a teen daughter.

You are probably right. lol.
Date: Jul 12, 2016 2:24 am Title: Chapter 20
Hahaha! Such a nice chapter. So in order to get Mikey in line you just get him drunk. Never thought of that but it makes sense.
Date: Jul 12, 2016 12:40 am Title: Chapter 19
I'm going to miss this story. It's true that Justin doesn't let Mikey slide and that's why Mikey resents him. Blake, more or less, has Mikey's number. Ben tries to keep the peace so he doesn't say what he thinks because he knows Mikey would be mad. I think Mikey need counseling on how to deal and with anger management.
Author's Response:
I want to start something new,and i am afraid of having to repeat something. Michael would probaby find reason the couseler was wrong.
Date: Jul 12, 2016 12:26 am Title: Chapter 19
Blake was dead ON in his assessment of Michael! I'm glad he told them his thoughts in reference to how they all act in regards to Michael too. Perhaps the 'family' can make some changes in regards to Michael's behavior from now on. I LOVE the way Justin handles him. They should take several pages out of his book, the way Ted did earlier when having dinner with Michael and Ben. The time for handling the thirty-five year old boy with kid-gloves has long passed. Also, I'm glad that he realized he was an idiot when JR handed him his gift. The first step in recovery is admission of the problem. Maybe there is hope for him yet (again I'm skeptical but...*eyebrow raised* I'll reserve judgment). Looking forward to MORE!
Happy Writing and HUGS,

Author's Response:
I totally agree. Michael is my favorite because you can't help but want to pick on him. I think if i pick this one up again some day for a sequal JR needs to be a teenager. I'll probably commit him.
Date: Jul 11, 2016 11:03 pm Title: Chapter 19
Maybe Michael will think before talking from now on. Once he's no more drunk.
One can dream...
Author's Response:
I don't think that is possible for him. If after I finish I decide to write a sequel Michael will probably jump off the deep end again.
Date: Jul 11, 2016 5:47 pm Title: Chapter 18
It doesn't seem that Gus is really into camping. Mel and Lindsay are really doing nicely. Mikey still has a way to go. Everyone is supposed to tell him things first. They are supposed to initiate things and he's not supposed to have to ask. At least he's happy his mom is getting married.
Author's Response:
Gus really didn't care. Michael is to me an up and down charater.
Date: Jul 11, 2016 5:30 pm Title: Chapter 17
Who's watching JR? Love this chapter. Michael's improving but he tends to want to say the same things over and expects someone to say 'You're right."
I'm not sure he actually listens when someone gives him advice.
Date: Jul 11, 2016 5:23 pm Title: Chapter 18
Michael's a twat! I hope they each ream him out for his incessant need to be told everything, Ben included! Brian's request has nothing to do with HIM and I think that is the core of his problem. Everything and everyone that inhabits his world MUST revolve around him as if he is the sun or he must employ is Whining superpowers until it does... I wonder if that was Zephyr's superpower in Rage. <In my sinister announcer voice> After Rage paralyzes the enemy with his mind-control powers, Zephyr in turn whines them into submission, torturing them with his complaining and incessant screeching until they confess their crimes just to make him stop.... I think that is a plot that I need to work out, LOL
Happy Writing and HUGS,

Happy moments!!!
I was worried Michael would ruin Gus's happiness by talking the "Papa" thing down.
I love when Brian is calling Justin "the little twat".
Date: Jul 11, 2016 5:03 pm Title: Chapter 17
Glad that Brian doesn't take time listening to Michael.
Gus is cute regarding Daphne and Jennifer teasing Brian is fun: she really is a nice person.
No wonder Justin is this kind and lovable.

Another wedding! yippee! finally Deb and Carl are getting hitched. Shame that Micheal is so bloody self absorbed to be happy for them. Is he EVER going to get a clue? Parts of me hopes he doesn't for awhile yet as it's such fun to read him being such a idiot adn others reaming him out! lol. Other part hopes he does for JR's sake and Ben too of course. He really does make everything about himself.
Deb sounds like she's going to rip him a new one!! that should be fun. :)
thanks. update made for a nice break at work.
Cheers,
