Sometimes kids turn out eerily like their parents. So if that were to happen to the BSC, do you think they'd be more like their mothers or fathers? Kristy: a) Marry young, have kids, then become a businesswoman. or b) Abandon family. Claudia: a) Head librarian. or b) Mostly irrelevant. Mary Anne: a) Die from cancer. or b) Be very strict. Stacey: a) Bored shopaholic. or b) Workaholic. Dawn: a) Move kids across country after a nasty divorce. or b) Let kids be moved across country after a nasty divorce. Abby: a) Work long hours with a long commute to avoid kids. or b) Die in a car crash... Mallory: a) Crazy. About kids. or b) Easily discouraged. Jessi: a) Black. or b) Black.

Businesswoman, but adopts the kids.
Claudia: a) Head librarian. or b) Mostly irrelevant.
Prolly B.
Mary Anne: a) Die from cancer. or b) Be very strict.
Marry young, have kids, maybe a tad strict, but mostly a softie.
Stacey: a) Bored shopaholic. or b) Workaholic.
Maybe a combo of the two.
I couldn't decide about the alternate officers...
Mallory: a) Crazy. About kids. or b) Easily discouraged.
B.
Jessi: a) Black. or b) Black.
A. Definitely A...no, B...this is hard...

Kristy: a) Marry young, have kids, then become a businesswoman. or b) Abandon family.
A. I can totally see her getting knocked up by Bart Taylor and then prospering in the end.
Claudia: a) Head librarian. or b) Mostly irrelevant.
Irrelevant. Claudia can't even read.
Mary Anne: a) Die from cancer. or b) Be very strict.
B. Be very strict. I think that she'd take after her dad in the over protectiveness and always worrying.
Stacey: a) Bored shopaholic. or b) Workaholic. Umm...duhh...shopaholic. can't we see her traits forming now?
Dawn: a) Move kids across country after a nasty divorce. or b) Let kids be moved across country after a nasty divorce. I'm not sure....maybe B? she'd be too busy chaining herself to a tree to care...
Abby: a) Work long hours with a long commute to avoid kids. or b) Die in a car crash... Die. Just because i hate abby
Mallory: a) Crazy. About kids. or b) Easily discouraged. Definately easily discouraged. She already has low self confidence.
Jessi: a) Black. or b) Black.
Idontknow:(

Hehe, I'll answer these later. I have to say now, though, the options gave me a good laugh. I love them!

Kristy: a) Marry young, have kids, then become a businesswoman. or b) Abandon family. A - she loves kids way too much to abandon any of them. ever. she loves kids so much it's almost scary. I could picuture her taking after Mrs Pike and have 534 kids because she just loves big families and kids, yay!! Claudia: a) Head librarian. or b) Mostly irrelevant. B. Irrelevant - can't even spell her own name, hates books for the most part. Mary Anne: a) Die from cancer. or b) Be very strict. B. I think she'd be really really strict. Afraid that the kids would get out of control, which would make her cry. Again. So to prevent this - strict. Stacey: a) Bored shopaholic. or b) Workaholic. A. Total airhead always wearing too much make up. Married to a rich old guy and spends her days shopping. Still a size zero blonde permed NY-girl at 62. By then wears so much make up it grosses everyone out. Dawn: a) Move kids across country after a nasty divorce. or b) Let kids be moved across country after a nasty divorce. A. Because everyone has to do and see things her way. Mallory: a) Crazy. About kids. or b) Easily discouraged. AB - both!! Still a loser. Has no self esteem so no guy stays with her for too long. Can't keep a job because she's always complaining she'll probably be fired soon. Becomes the nanny for Kristy's 534 kids, because Kristy feels sorry for her, not having a job and not having kids. Poor Mal. Jessi: a) Black. or b) Black. I'm just gonna take a risk here and add a new answer, because to me it's none of the above... c) Black. I left out Abby because I've never read any of her books/books with her in it. This is an awesome idea by the way

Kristy: A variation of A. I think she'd become a business woman first and then find a sperm doner.
Mary Anne: A. Cancer can run in the family. She wouldn't be a strict parent, but she'd be very overprotective.
Dawn: A. I feel sorry for the guy who tries to divorce her. She'll eat him alive.
Mallory: B. I'm not convinced that she likes kids, she just happens to know a lot about them. I also think she's a naturally unlucky person and that will make her not want to even try things.

Kristy: a) Marry young, have kids, then become a businesswoman.
That one. I'm drawn to the businesswoman aspect... I can't picture her as anything else!
Claudia: b) Mostly irrelevant.
Haha, I love these options. I don't think she'd work at an investment firm, but I choose irrelevant over head librarian. Mary Anne: a) Die from cancer.
Only because I don't think anyone else has picked this one yet... Aww, poor Mary Anne.
Stacey: a) Bored shopaholic. or b) Workaholic.
Hmm. Don't know about this one. In "Stacy McGill, Super-Sitter", she becomes a bit of a workaholic, and her mum mentions that she's acting like her dad. So I'm undecided on this.
Dawn: a) Move kids across country after a nasty divorce.
She seems to be the proactive type.
Abby: a) Work long hours with a long commute to avoid kids.
Because the other option is depressing.
Mallory: b) Easily discouraged.
In agreement with everyone else!
Jessi: b) Black.
When in doubt, go with b.

I'm answering this a bit differently. With Kristy, I see her turning into a Mrs. P type mom, only with sports. I think her kids would be FORCED into taking up sports year-round, regardless of if they want to or not and she'd definitely be harping on them to practice, practice, practice. Claud would yeah basically be irrelevant. I think Mary Anne would actually be the best parent out of all of them. I think she'd be like later-series Richard. She grew up being really stifled and I doubt she'd do that to her kids. Stacey's kids will totally be raised by a nanny while she shops. Poor kids. I doubt Mal will want kids! I think Jessi would also be a good mom, she comes from a solid family and I think she'd carry that on. I'm not sure about Abby. I could see her being kinda like Kristy but I could also see her being more laid back and trying to be BFF's with her kids. Dawn will be the type of parent I can see myself being. Homeschooling her hippie family and co-sleeping, breastfeeding, all that AP stuff

I agree that Dawn will be an AP parent but I think that she will be one of those AP parents who firmly believe that formula is the devil and if you don't co-sleep you are a monster. (Yes I've run into people like this online, they scare me.) I see this in her personality already with her comments about carnivores.
Kristy will definitely be overinvolved. Abby will be too because of the fact that her Mom has basically left her and Anna to raise themselves.
Claudia will have kids who end up like Janine and she will be totally confused by them.
Mal will probably have one or two kids.

Kristy: a) Marry young, have kids, then become a businesswoman. or b) Abandon family. A. She loves kids, so I can't see her abandoning them

Stacey: a) Bored shopaholic. or b) Workaholic. A.
Dawn: a) Move kids across country after a nasty divorce. or b) Let kids be moved across country after a nasty divorce. A. Because of course she would have to have things her way.
