zanooda:

Yeah, my mom and my stepdad had my half-brother when I was 15, and I was helping to take care of the baby a lot and doing other stuff around the house. I don't remember ever being a rebellious teenager :-). OTOH, my mom was never childish, like Bella's mother is, so in our family it was never like in this book, where daughter/mother roles are practically reversed.

Yeah, all this "loving two guys at the same time" in the third book was very annoying. And confusing :-). And all this talking... :-). OTOH, there was a good battle at the end... :-).
