Which parents/adults would be friends (or not)?

[starrynight]

This one is kind of self-explanatory...which Stoneybrook adults do you guys think are friends? Other than Mrs. Pike and Mrs. McGill, we don't hear much about adult friendships. Who do you think are BFFs? On the flip side, who can't you see getting along?

^Good question, Starrynight and something I always wish we had seen. Of course, I also would have loved reading more about the BSC girls and the charges spending time with their own families.

I wish we had gotten to read about Jessi's family having dinner with Charlotte's. I think since they also lived so close and their daughters were best friends, the Ramseys and Johanssens would have spent some time together socially.

The Newtons, my favorite client family as Jamie is my favorite charge and I love how kind his mom often comes across and in the early books it sounded like she was close to Claudia. Newton-related is Kristy tells us that Jamie has spent the night before at her house so I would hope/think Elizabeth was friends with his parents and also Jamie knew her (Eliz), too.

Mrs. Rodowsky was another parent who early on seemed very approachable and friendly, I can see her being someone one of the adults would be friends with...maybe Mrs. Pike since she and Mrs. Hobart were the only moms with so many sons outside of Elizabeth and Watson. That actually is a cool thought. If David Michael and Jackie had been friends and their parents, too, maybe helped bridge some of the gap between Bradford Court and Kristy's new neighborhood and in terms of the charges.

In LS, one of my very, very favorite books is Karen's Christmas Tree and how the entire neighborhood comes together to support the Druckers. I wish we had gotten to read more about that and also because Karen, Bobby, and Nancy, all live on the same street and Karen and Nancy we know are best friends, there could have been more adult interaction there.

Now I really want to read a super special about the families.

Mrs. Braddock always sounded nice, maybe she was friendly with the Ramseys?

Mrs. Barrett was probably friends with Mrs. Pike.

Not get along: Mrs. Prezzioso with anybody? I think she and Nick had out of town friends in #4...

[starrynight]

I bet people liked Nick better than his wife...although she came through for the BSC a time or two.

The Prezziosos are friends with the Pikes, who are the ones that recommended the BSC to them. So basically, the Pikes are friends with everybody.

I could see Lisa getting along with Nancy and Bobby's parents. All them would go out and get cheesecake together (a little weird but I'm craving cheesecake right now).

[booboobrewer]

Haha. Now I am too.

[CharlotteTJohanssen]

The Prezzioso's and the gardella's knew each other until they slammed the bsc. You think they might go back to talking after the fighting has resolved?

I could see the Ramseys being friends with everyone in the neighborhood, especially the Johansson family. Mr Ramsey stayed with Richard and Sharon to toast New Year's in Dawn's Big Date.
