I hope Emmett can find his way in all of this. 

I like Justin's character,being so independent and blunt...Standing up against his mother is really new to our always polite and obidient son..I don't like much Jen here,it's like anybody can dictate her what to do,but listening and agreeing to Debbie is beyond me..Not the Jen we know and love..And so is Emmett,what happen to the bright queen who can always see through Brian's b""""""t??It's a good thing Ted didn't tolerate his being disrespectful toward Brian and let him know about what he felt about his bestfriend depending the whiny brat..Go Ted,i cheer for your loyalty toward Brian,you're the best one to get the title Bestfriend of him..

Loved it,thanks for sharing!!

Well, the talks could have gone better.  But after trying to fix eggs and sausage I don't see how.  I am loving Ted in this.  Emmett, while sweet, is backing the wrong horse. Maybe he should stay with Mikey and Deb?

Emmett wake up and smell the reality Michael doesn't need a friend he has his mommy to fight all his battles, stop opening your mouth and open your eyes Michael isn't a friend he is a user.

Deb should no better then to take on Brian he knows the key to her closet  and if she keeps spewing her vitriol not only would I open it, I would invite what comes out to Family Dinner.

When are people in Glass house going to learn not to throw stones?

Jennifer is going to lose her children and any access to her grandchild if she doesn't remove her head from Michael and Debbie's Ass!

Treating Justin like a child is not the way to garner his respect and at this  point she is walking a fine line of being tossed to the sharks.

Not sure if what Justin said to Jen will actually sink in or be at all effective. I think he's serious about not having a relationship with her, so she'd better listen up. He's right in that Deb and Michael weren't being inquisitive for the sake of getting to know Jen adn Justing etc, they're quite simply busybodies just like he suggested. Perhaps Deb was already planning to try to get justin and Michael together, especially knowing his background and current status.

Debbie needs a smack like she gives to Michael. to think she actually believes that brian wanted Michael. Admittedly, I shivered in revulsion at the thought....yick! She also needs to realize that Brian will spill the beans if she's not careful. I think however that he will just end things with both of them. He's had enough. Can't blame him, and they've brought it upon themselves really.

I want to shout from teh rooftops that I adore Ted in this! He's telling Emmett exactly what he needs to hear. Now we have to see if Emmett will listen. Like he said, his mouth keeps getting him into trouble, but there are ways to stop it. He just needs to start thinking first. Stop assuming the best of Michael and the worst of Brian. Ted standing up to Emmett, supporting Brian was most excellent. Emmett certainly wasn't expecting that at all. While justin will attempt to smooth things over, he'll only put up with so much. He's going to let Emmett know that he won't put up with any crap. Emmett can stay friends with Michael if he so chooses, but he can't bring Michael into his home, his life or his relationships.

Many truths brought home in this chapter. Now we get to see of anyone listens or actually believes what they've been told.

Cheers,

Elaine
