Time for some real parenting by these two. They should finalize an agreement with absent dad, and start to have serious conversations with Shannon about expected behaviors. They let her run wild and run the house, and that’s not how to parent.
I can’t help but wonder if life with Shannon would be better if Toni & Brad acted like real parents, making sure she knows she is LOVED and welcome but setting boundaries.
Thank you, Jimmy. I can’t remember the last a comic strip brought me to tears, but this one did. The morning after Pearl, my dad rode his Indian motorcycle down from Walker Mine in northern CA to San Francisco to enlist in the Navy. He would head to training the following morning. Family legend has it that after they enlisted, he and my uncle got roaring drunk, and my dad rode his bike to one of the cliffs, pushed it over, and walked back into the city just in time to catch the bus.He was a wild one, and how I wish I’d known him then. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.
He looks perfect for Bernice!!
