Lyn, How likely is it, do you think, that a woman who had raised her own children, was liukely looking forward to a more relaxed life but was then faced with taking in her two grandchildren to raise was so enamored of the possibility of giving up the next 20 years to raising a second family that she forced some sort of legal agreement on her own son? <57> I think we have heard a very self-serving explanation of what happened from Dick and that there is much more to the story. Much more. My guess? Drugs. Heavy use of drugs. The forcing of legal custody was her way of protecting the children from his being able to legally take them away in some sort of impulsive action when he was in some sort of drug induced tirade. Had she not had legal custody, Dick could have done that and the children would have been in great danger.

What...I know many women who have raised their own children, found that they are now with an empty nest and would love the opportunity to raise a couple more. Sometimes these families have another set of children themselves, sometimes they move in with their grown children and sometimes they raise the grandchildren...

And bonbon, you think that Dick's mother grandstanded in able to do this? That she, an ordained minister, used intimidation to force her own son to give up custody just because she liked the idea of raising another family -- when she would have been heavily involved anyway if the story as Dick tells it is true? And why did Dick give in if he was so hellbent on raising his chidlren and staying involved in his kids' life? He didn't have to. Lots of men raise their children alone. Throw in the drug angle -- the need to protect the children from a drug addicted father (who admits he has used every drug on the face of the earth, as he puts it) -- and her actions make perfect sense. Take out the need to protect them from a dangerous father, her actions make no sense whatsoever because she would have been raising them along with her son anyway. Nope, Dick's little self-serving explanation about his evil mother and her cunning ways do not ring true to me.

Question! What Dick being a drug addicted father and a dangerous father have what to do with this being a posting for Daniele's boyfriend? And could someone you direct me to the proof that he is all of the above? I know Dick said he tried every drug but did it make him an addict? and of course we know no one in the BB house Ever exaggerates LOL

amen Seattlemom all Speculation... In my opinion of that situation. He did what is best for his children. I think he mad the right choice. Most people in that situation don't do that because they will look bad in many people's eyes. I think he did what was best for his children. I applaude him for what he did.

Exactly Seattlemom it's just the opportunity to blame Dick for something else. While I don't agree with the way things 'appear' to be transpiring in regards to Dani, Nick and her boyfriend, I will wait to assume and pass judgement because I don't personally know any of them or the whole story.

I really don't care why Dani is the way she is, if it is Dick's fault, her mother's, or whoever, I just don't enjoy her. I don't care if she loves her boyfriend or Nick. I think that she is emotionally to young to be playing this game. I don't know who it was but someone spoiled her. Oh wait, I just don't understand her.

Dick's son obviously has a wonderful relationship with Dick. If you ever talked to him, you would see it. I think all these theories about Dick was on drugs, not fit to raise kids, so grandma stole them away is totally untrue. She did what any loving grandmother would do. Dick's son has a great relationship with his grandmother AND his Dad. Also, I really don't think it's any of our business.

I have known quite a few kids with much worse upbringings and life circumstances and they do not act like spoiled brats. I don't buy the "Oh poor Dani, she just whines and pouts because she's had such a bad life and couldn't possibly know any better." It's just making up excuses for her behavior. Take responsibility for your own actions.

What, you need to meet my MIL. Mary wrestled custody away from my SIL because Kathy was "too young and immature" (19) to raise her daughter. I see Dick and Dani's behavior repeated in Kathy and Suzanne. MIL tried it with hubby and I - she got NOWHERE even though she tried to pull Social Services in it. They said it was a family dispute and she was controlling verging on the point of unstable. (Something like that) My MIL couldn't handle when her kids grew up and she drove them away...then wanted their kids for herself. She passed away pretty much alone as just about everyone turned their backs on her. (Hubby and I were the ones that ended up taking care of her in the end) So yes maybe just maybe Dick's mom is the same

Somebody brought up the fact that Dani promised Kail safety but she didn't promise not to nominate her. Who's fault is it that Kail went home? It's a freaking game and only one of them get to win. If Kail wanted to be safe then she should have hung on longer than Dani. And to bring this back around to Dani's bf who isn't even in the house, I will say that I bet he agrees that it was Kail's lack of being able to outlast Dani that got her out the door and nothing more.

I noticed tonight Daniele is still wearing the bandanna. Is that a sign to Nick that she is still missing him? Isn't that a slap in the face to the boyfriend? I honestly don't know the bandanna significance, just asking. I would have spelled bandanna as bandana, but Firefox in making me put a double n in the second syllable.

You heard her say that? Funny, I was reading on the live feeds that Jen said that same exact thing. I don't think Dani wearing a bandana is a slap in the face to her boyfriend. If her bf is hurt or offended the way people seem to think he should be, do you think that he is sitting around watching the show or live feeds? Maybe in all the secret messages that you all seem to figure out, maybe, there was a secret message to her bf. We don't know and frankly it's none of my business but either way there are worse things a person could do. why do we always need to throw stones?

I thought earlier in the season it was stated that DAni and her current boyfriend's relationship was already showing signs of cracks and that he was moving back with his parents and she was going to have to find a new place to live when she gets out. Not knowing the whole true story I refuse to SPECULATE about things and happenings about which I know nothing. Relationships are hard enough without having to deal with national tv exposure and comments opinions from total strangers. Good Luck to Kris and Dani on working towards an amicable resolution in regards to their relationship...

Wow. No letter from the BF on the show tonight, and we know it wasn't for lack of CBS trying to get one. But bigger than that... NO REACTION from Dani! Wow. If I hadn't seen him on TV myself, I would have figured that she made him up.
