Lady Dormouse loves her
Lady Dormouse loves her adopted girls. So sad that this has come up, but then again, teens want to test the boundaries.
May Your Light Forever Shine
We can't stop their getting hurt.
I really tried with all three of mine, but in the end they did exactly as they wished. Happily, they and most young ones seem to survive.
I am trying to remember how the young one who was thought to be a murderess is getting on. Is she working with Si?
Much peace
Gwendolyn
The purported murderess
Would be Jacquie, she usually helps out around the house, babysitting the little ones, helping Cathy with household chores. Sammi works in IT at the bank, Julie does hairdressing, and Phoebe has been going to college for hairdressing since she arrived at the house.
Kids, whatya gonna do eh?
Handled quite well I thought and Cathy is I guess nominal parent. Hopefully Pheobe is smart enough to think it through, I have hope.
Curiously or not there I was at a place I take puppy to. Just on the edge of a National Park and I saw a Platypus. Errr, well I saw a flash of brown fur and something swishing underwater for a minute or so. Probably a water rat. Then stumbled across the remnants of I think a little bunny. Regularly find pieces of possum, strung out and the 'good bits' eaten. Always thought foxes, but someone I was chatting with the other day said, 'sounds like a powerful owl..' never even thought about owls. Nature in the raw huh.

Sorry but sex is not worth it.
At least not for screwing up ones future by screwing.
New feelings due to hormones, yeah, but to be ruled by them and not rule over them? The ultimate in stupidity.

Go carefully Cathy.
Though easier said than done when you're tired and busy with other stuff.
She's just a kid and possibly just testing the boundaries though usually testing them inadvertently to destruction. It's what teenagers do progressively until they make the final break.
Though why the hell I'm saying this when this teenager has NEVER grown up - I'll never know.
Perhaps I could learn from this chapter and some others. (Is this why I follow so avidly I wonder, subconscious hunt for wisdom.)
Naah, I'm past that and beyond the pale.
Good chapter Ang and still lovin' it.

Teenage girls...
Teenage girls can be a challenge... And Cathy doesn't have the background to know what's normal and what's not...
Hope things work out... And that Brode doesn't end up being the Gold Digger Julie implied.
Thanks,
Annette
can't remember if its been covered but
hope Pheobe is protected against pregnancy.
Uncharted Territory
I think Cathy is going to need some help as she deals with Phoebe. Not being a genetic female, there is lots to growing up as a genetic female she does not know. But, where is the help going to come from?
Don't let someone else talk you out of your dreams. How can we have dreams come true, if we have no dreams?

Poor Phoebe
Poor Phoebe.
Whilst others have stated that she is ‘testing boundaries’ I believe it I something more basic. She is still grieving for her mother and needs help. She is young and still needs the parental advice, or at least options to choose from to make her own decision on moving her life forward. The hairdressing course was an easy option and did not ‘stretch’ her enough intellectually, hence the ‘diversion’ into Bodie.
Cathy is mature enough to realise this and I am certain will be able to come up with a positive answer for Phoebe.
This was a great episode Angharad.

Maybe it was
a pyrrhic victory but if it has helped Cathy get her message across then it will have been worth it, Its not easy being in Cathys position of trying to instill her values into a girl who looks to be a little headstrong, Sadly sometimes young girls do follow their hearts instead of their heads,Sometimes they are lucky and come through unscathed, Unfortunately some girls are not quite so fortunate.... And nine months later they find themselves with a reminder of the night their boyfriend persuaded them that even without protection there was little chance of pregnancy..
