Would you like to have a stepdad for a millionaire? Or would you prefer a loving but strict father and don't mind finding a high heel in the vegetable drawer? What BSC family would you most like to be a part of? For this poll, you would be in the same position of the respective sitter--i.e., you would be Watson's stepdaughter if you vote for the Brewer-Thomases.

Not that being put in the middle by your parents would be a picnic, but I've always liked Stacey's relationship with her mom, and I have to admit it would be nice to have grown up in New York and be able to visit it constantly!

I would have chosen stacey's family if she had siblings... I don't think i would like being an only child.

I don't think I would like being a Brewer/Thomas. There are way too many people hanging around that house. I wouldn't want to baby-sit constantly.
I wouldn't mind being a Kishi, they seem super nice and supportive. I wouldn't mind not being allowed to read Nancy Drews, they were never my favorite anyway. And they would pay for all of my lessons and crap, so that would be cool.
I like Richard, I think he woudl be a great dad. Growing up with a dad who kind of sucks, that's something I would like -- having a father who actually cares enough to put down rules.
I dont think i would like to live with just Mrs McGill. It would be lonely, and that house seems kind of creepy. Also, the Pikes would be my neighbors. But I would enjoy the freedom, and Ed trying to compensate for being a crappy dad. Then again, I got enough of that in my teen years.
Jack would be okay, but I'm not a big fan of california. When things get too laid back, I get uncomfortable. I prefer my state to be blue.
Stevensons - I have no opinion, having read exactly 2 Abby books
Pikes: NO NO NO NO NO NO
Ramseys: They seem actually pretty cool. I like their dynamic, and I would make use of that barre in the basement. Does this mean I would be discriminated against though? Oh well, that would be okay too. Oh, except Aunt C kind of freaks me out. She sounds like she smells funny. I think it was the descriptions of the furniture.
Brunos: I don't think so. Hunter's allergies would annoy me, and Mr Bruno sounds kind of annoying. I hated driving home from tennis with my friend who's dad was always on her about every little thing she needed to work on.
Kilbournes: Doesn't sound horrible to be them, except you know, I have sort of the same issues with my parents.
So I guess I'll go with either the kishis or the ramseys

I like the kishis and the ramseys too. I said brewer-thomases because hey, nannie is there to baby-sit, lots of vacations with all your friends coming along, and sam and charlie have hot friends. I also think watson seems like a really nice stepdad.

Yeah, you have a point there. But, even if Watson is super nice, he's still a stepdad. At the Kishi's, I have a sister/spellcheck and a Real Father who does banking. I've known people who live with step parents and think everything is swell, but they still know that they aren't actually related, and that makes them sad.

Watson did seem to not really distinguish between biological and steps though. He gave a family heirloom to kristy instead of karen and it is mentioned in ff1 that he is paying for charlie to go to college.
I almost went with the kishis, but even though i like janine as a character, it would be hard to have her as an older sister and having everyone expect you to also be a genius when you're just normal-smart.

Oh that's nice of him. See, that heirloom crap is what makes people i know sad. Watson seems like a really nice guy, to marry a woman with four kids. I wonder if she signed a prenup. I also wonder how long they were dating. It didn't seem like that long in KGI. If I really let my imagination go wild and crayzz, I would think that they were dating before Watson got divorced and thats why lisa doesn't like edie. But that's silly.

It's between the Brewer-Thomases and Kishis for me. I wouldn't mind the huge mansion, the vacations, and the constant action around the house, but I think all the litle kids would bug me after awhile. The Kishis sound like my family...parents, two daughters, so I wouldn't have a problem with that. My sister is kind of like Janine too, she's very smart and school-focused, but unlike Claudia/Janine we're bff and get along well.

It took me long to choose between the Thomas-Brewers, the Kishis, and the Ramseys. I thought a bit about the Kilbournes - I have a very similar family myself, parents still together and one younger sister who is 2 years younger than me and other one who is 5 years younger - but didn't they have some issues? Can't remember, but anyway, I felt a bit uncomfortable about them. Finally, I chose the Ramseys. They seem like a great family and I like their family dynamics. If I was a Ramsey, I would have usually sweet siblings and funny, supportive parents. Just like in my own family, which I like very much.Well, I would have Aunt Cecelia too, but I suppose I could handle that. The Thomas-Brewers would be nice as well, lots of vacations (I love travelling), a huge family, a big mansion, Charlie's and Sam's hot friends...;D But I suppose I would got tired of all the baby-sitting and the noise that the many little kids make. Kishis sound okay too, but they sound kind of...I dunno, not as warm as the Ramseys or the Thomas-Brewers. So, my choice is the Ramseys.

The Kilbournes seemed to be on their way to a divorce to me... I figured that the brewer mansion was so large, it would be hard to hear even the screams of karen if you just went to a different part of the house

The Ramseys sound cool too, but I don't know about Aunt C. I think she'd give me a serious headache with all her complaining.

The Thomas-Brewers would take forever trying to descibe your family to someone. Wayy too many people. I'd go with the Ramsey's, despite Aunt C.

I've always wanted to be a part of the Thomas-Brewer household ever since I was a Little Sister reader. The idea of so many people in a big mansion with animals (three things I grew up without) was so appealing
The only problem there would be that life would be too exciting for the internet and I wouldn't have enough time to draw anime and talk to my friends on MSN. I'd be too busy petting Shannon, searching through the endless house, playing games with Karen, hanging around the neighbhorhood to do any computer activities.

I chose Brewer-Thomas. Mostly because I'd like to live in a mansion! But I think that whole family is pretty stable and happy.
