I was reading an article in Good Housekeeping yesterday and there was something like, if you find your elder parent's cleaning supplies in the fridge, it's probably an early sign of dementia or Alzheimer's. I guess there's scatterbrained and then there's demented.

I thought it was funny, when she put a shoe in fridge or ice cream in the cupboard. Give me, a chuckle when I read about it. But, like everytime, you put your earrings in the microwave or remote control on top of the roof. Like, come on you should know where to put normal stuff in the right place..your like in your 30's
Yeah, she's not one of my favorite parent.

There's something wrong with her being so "absent-minded." I don't think she should've been so supportive of Dawn's coast-hopping. I definitely think she should've remained in California for a few months (then again, Jack should’ve done something, like going to court, to not let Sharon move to Connecticut with their kids).

What is wrong with this woman? I think she is more than absent-minded.

I hated how they made Sharon's "absent mindedness" soo extreme. It would have been funny/a little quirky if once in awhile she went out with only one earring on or accidentally put her keys in the pantry after work, but she basically couldn't leave the house without Dawn finding she had three different shoes on, a brush stuck in her hair, and her purse was in the bathtub. lol. They just took it too far. I never really bought into the "Richard and Sharon" thing either..

^LOL, "Sharon's purse was in the bathtub," that is so funny. ITA that the writers probably turnd Sharon into one of (if not the most) cariacture charcters in that respect. Being asbent-minded every so often is one thing, putting keys (didn't she)? in the fridge is quite another! As for Sharon and Richard's romance. I am a big Richard fan and would like to believe he (and Sharon) truly did find happiness with one another. The books, however, never really showed us their relationship, the story-lines were only constantly reminding us how they re-met and the two households merged together. But then, I still don't think MA, Richard, Dawn, and Sharon read (to me, anyway) as the happy family they often claimed. I think MA and Richard lived in Sharon and Dawn's house and Richard happened to be married to Sharon. Oh and yeah when not fighting, MA and Dawn were both step-sisters and friends.

I liked Sharon more after reading about the other parents in the Portrait Books. So many of them fell to complete pieces after hardships. Sharon at least kept her household running fairly smoothly. Meaning she didn't wander around in a dirty bathrobe, forget to buy groceries for weeks, or send Jeff and Dawn to Stoneybrook to live with her parents while she stayed in California. That sort of thing. The kids became unhappy with their location, but I never felt like they were uncomfortable with or felt that Sharon had changed for the worse.

It had to have driven Richard crazy. How much do we know about how organized or not Mr. Schafer was?

He is organized in Dawn on the Coast, like making Disneyland schedules. Less so in BSC in the USA.

I used to love Hawaiian punch as a kid! But with cereal it doesn't sound too good ;D Has anyone ever eaten popcorn with milk, like cereal? When Stacey has the popcorn picnic with the Kuhn kids she says her mom does that. I imagine it would be pretty gross... Oh, for Pete's sake! It's not buttered and salted pop corn. Just the popped kernels, with milk. Really no different from puffed rice (i.e. Rice Krispies). Plain pop corn really doesn't have much of a taste. You can even sweeten the pop corn and milk combo with a little sugar.

Ah! Sharon seriously drives me crazy! I get that there are some people who are absentminded and scatterbrained, but not that much. I mean, I'm pretty absentminded. I've walked into the kitchen, poured a cup of juice, walked out, and came back in ten minutes later to pour myself another cup of juice a few times before. I've put on one clean sock and one dirty sock. (Why am I admitting that to the Internet?) but had I never put high heels in the freezer, casserole in the closet, toe nail clippers in the breadbox, etc. Seriously, Sharon has some sort of illness.
It's weird how Richard and Sharon got married since she is SO scatterbrained and he is SO organized. (lol, organized autocorrected to gross.) isn't that one of the reasons why she and Mr. Schafer got divorced?

She seems kind of lazy and spacey so maybe she wants a partner who's more efficient than she is?
