^ I'm pretty sure Amanda spoke with Mallory about not being used by people in Poor Mallory.

I actually think it may have been both of them - I think Stacey and Mal each had sitting jobs for the Delaney's in Poor Mallory, and the subject came up a little with both of them (but obviously more with Mal, since it was her book).

Don't know why I thought of this just now, but the Kormans annoyed me in Kristy for President when they refused to eat the chocolate chip ice cream. They'd been joking about "freckles" in ice cream , then said the chocolate chips looked like moles and eeewww gross we aren't going to eat it! They were such skittish, jumpy, dramatic kids, and I've said this before, but they were very boring compared to the Delaneys. Stacey working her reverse psychology on the Delaneys, Mal helping Amanda figure out the problems with her friends and the pool - those plots were a lot more fun to read.

Oh man, I hate the Kormans!!! They especially annoyed me in 'Big Party.' Max was a brat to Melody, but she was a little cow! She really played up and made him out to be worse than he was and she really goaded him, I felt. She should have got into trouble too. I didn't have any strong feelings about the Kormans one way or the other until I read this book. Wow Melody was SUCH a brat. She totally played Bill - she knew exactly which buttons to push, and their parents were too stupid to figure out what was going on. That scene when Abby was babysitting and Bill pushed Melody into the sofa and she acted like she needed a limb amputated was the absolute worst.

I'm not crazy about the Kormans either. I'd much rather read about the Delaney kids.

^I agree, with what Afton posted above! I just finished reading through this thread and have a few questions. Does anyone know when the Kormans wore diapers as hats? The only diaper (non traditional uses) I can remember are when Jenny wrecks Andrea's future nursery in MA vs. Logan and Jenny flings diapers (I think) among other things all around the room. Possibly also in this book or another one, I believe it was also Jenny, though right now I'm almost thinking it was Gabbie Perkins, who doctored her "horsie's broken leg" by taping a diaper around a dining table leg. Does that ring any bells? Also, when was Skylar referred to as a boy? That was also mentioned up-thread. It sounds familiar but off the top of my head I only recall how in the space of a couple sentences Rat Catcher, the Perkins Cat was both a boy and a girl. (That was in Hello, Mallory, where Laura was born and Gabbie and Myriah wanted the baby to be a boy to even out their household.

Yeah they were the stereotype of strange, weird kids who were easily frightened. Even Skylar was frightened of cats, the fish fountain, etc. Although she's little and that's pretty common...

Does that ring any bells? It was Suzi who wrapped diapers around the dining room table. Dawn was babysitting, and had to unwrap them all and put them back in the package.

^Thank you, Candykane. Lol, poor Dawn, but with her record at the Barretts, (#5) maybe she wasn't watching the kids closely enough.

I hate the Kormans in the BSC books. However I did enjoy Melody better in the Little Sister books.
Even though I dislike the Korman kids, I feel a little bad for them. They seem very sheltered and they get scared a lot over the littlest things as a result.
I definitely miss the Delaneys.

I'm sorry, but Delaneys>Kormans. We saw way too much of the latter, considering we saw very little of the former when they lived in that house. Compare their introductory books. I feel like we saw way more of the Korman's personalities than we saw of the Delaneys' in that. Plus that whole monster thing got pretty annoying and although Logan suggested good ways to solve it, I wish we'd seen it happen. Even Skylar can get annoying at times. I don't think anyone that young has annoyed me in the series. Probably the closest interactive baby is Marnie Barrett, but I really like her. I mean, Skylar's usually OK, but it's so unusual that a baby charge can annoy me at all, that I just notice when she does get on my nerves.

With the exception of Melody, I dislike the Kormans. I wished the Delaney's would have stayed. They are so entertaining to read about.
