I know that things are more relaxed in a small town than in a big one....I live in a really small town....but, something bothers me about HOW relaxed things seem to be with this family. Dad has a new baby with his gf....mom has a bf who sometimes lives with her and the 2 kids....sounds like SA has a key and drops in whenever....he's not that much older than the kids. I wonder if Hailey felt uncomfortable about this? Probably me just being old fashioned. Never mind..
I feel the same way and if I had a teen daughter I know that I'd be over protective in that regard. Anyone know how long he has been the BF?
I wonder if Hailey is normally with her brother if the BF is hanging around when Mom is not present, i.e. after school, etc. but because of the Christmas Break that wasn't the case that day? Typically, she and her brother would be in school if BF was dropping in and out of their home during the day.
I get the feeling that the holiday schedule and the opportunities/risks that it presented will factor heavily in this situation.
