Ahhh….well ya know there are many different parenting styles. I’m not saying any is right or wrong.
Every family kinda does what works for them. I do agree with being aware of things around you that could cause you harm and taking precautions to keep you safe.
That being said, I have to admit to leaning towards a more lenient parenting style. Is it right? It’s right for us and works for me and my kids. They are pretty well adjusted.
Just know….whatever style your parents adopt…..it’s because they love you and want you to be safe and happy! 😊

Knowing the brat pack, a nurse may come in handy even if it’s not quite up to the standards of a normal one!
Jumping up onto the bus she greeted Jojo, Ellie and a rather confused Mishi by chucking sweeties all over the bus. as her beloved brat friends dived this way and that way to grab the best ones … Carrie used the moment to grab one of Ellie’s 🍺, flopped into a seat and slurped away.

Soaring over Erebor’s Lonely Mountain on the back of a giant eagle really was a marvelous way to spend the day. Mishi spread out her arms and sighed happily, enjoying the feel of the wind in her face. Suddenly, another giant eagle dive-bombed them, scooping Mishi into its talons and yanking her off the back of her eagle friend. The new eagle was not as kind; it shook Mishi violently until her eyes flew open.
She wasn’t in Middle Earth, and she wasn’t being dragged around by a giant eagle, but by an Italian brat, who propelled her off the couch where she’d
been having a very nice nap. Mishi spluttered out several questions, her sleepy mind trying to figure out what was happening, and she caught a couple
of Ellie’s words as her friend hauled her out the door. Octoberfest and Bratpack.
Mishi tried to voice several protests against the interruption of her nap and the rough handling, but her words fell on deaf ears. Before she knew it, Mishi was on the bus with the others. She gave a little sigh, and then leaned back in her seat and watched the others… after sticking her tongue out at Ellie. She loved fairs and carnivals and all that sort of thing… Octoberfest would be fun.

Logan carefully kept the keys from any snatchy brats and loaded everything onto the brat bus.
Bondfire supplies – check
Plenty of beer and alcohol- check
Fire Extinguishers – tossed out to make room for other more important items
Costumes and decorations – check
Hay bales and blankets for the hayride- check
After loading everything up she carefully screwed a snowboard onto the top of the brat bus just in front of the emergency fire exit. Looking at the group the said, “It so we can surf even though it’s to “cool” to go into the water now!”
With that proclomation, she jumped onto the bus and cranked the engine. “All aboard to the Octoberbratfest Extravaganza!”

Logan quickly snuck into Micah’s house where she was sleeping quietly. She made her way up the stairs and to the end of the house where the woman was sleeping. Carefully Logan taped the extra wide Saran Wrap along the left side of the top of her door. Once it was in place she began to unroll it covering the top edge of the door. She continued unrolling it as quietly as she could until the end of other hallway where she met a window. Carefully and silently she opened the window and snuck out continuing her journey of Saran wrapping the woman in her master suite. Logan wrapped the outside walls and windows walking around that half of the house on the roof until making her way back to the window opposite the one she exited earlier. Sneakily she opened the window going back inside and continued to wrap the master suite in Saran Wrap. She continued this careful wrapping job a dozen or so more times until the entire door and all the windows had a covering of plastic that would take some time to cut through and she was running short on wrap! Finally, she tucked the end of the Saran Wrap into one window ensuring is wouldn’t come lose. Finally, she slid a knife between layers of plastic that was over the door and snuck back down stairs.

Mishi brought in a huge roll of bubble wrap. She had both the kind with large bubbles and some with smaller bubbles too. She planned to alternate them in stripes, so that it would sound almost musical as they were walked on. She covered the surface of the floor with the bubble wrap, laying it out carefully. She made a path of bubble wrap all the way to the kitchen, where she prepared the coffee pot, filling it with water and the coffee roast and setting out the hazelnut creamer and some sugar, getting it all ready to go. Then, she snuck back out, careful to avoid any bubble wrap on her way.

Ellie snuck her way into the “family” house using the brat key Micah had given them all. She noticed Mishi and Logan had done a great job of decorating, so she tried her best not to interfere with the new pieces of design in the house and made it straight to the kitchen, where she rested a Birthday Cake on the table.
On top of the cake, in chocolate glaze, was written “HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISHI”. Ellie placed a scrapbook filled with pictures from the old BratPack adventures beside the cake and a card saying “2000+ years of brattiness”.
Finally, Ellie realized that a birthday cake had no meaning if the candles were off, so she proceeded to light them before sneaking her way back out.
A certain brat deserved that and more, and she was positive everyone would enjoy a piece of cake along with the coffee.
