Mother of three daughters one of which turned 22 yesterday. She shares many traits with Daniele... the drama queen thing and getting sick when things aren't going well. She would never treat her father the way Daniele does. I am also a child who was raised by my grandparents. So i have mixed feelings about Daniele but i do think when it comes to a birthday being depressed and upset is expected under these circumstances.

Can somebody be kind enough to tell me whats going on with the Dani and Amber deal? So any idea if Dani is going to use the POV and if so who is the replacement? Thanks.

Wilson I would actually agree w/you BUT didn't she recently say all she wants is a letter from NICK for her BD? And someone posted earlier that they read he wanted to send her one and they wouldn't let her. Maybe it hit her why Kris wouldn't want to write on the same week Nick got to send one for HoH and where she wanted another from him?

Damick6. Eric ??????? The moment she got HOH she said she wanted Jen out 110% SOmething may happen between now and tomorrow but strategically, if she puts Jen up, she has the votes to get her put and then no one has the votes to get her out. She is in solid.

Not to get too far off topic here, but.... I raised my daughters all alone until the youngest was 19. If they ever and I mean ever treated me the way Dani has treated Dick there would be hell to pay. My stepdaughters do it because they are severely alienated from their Father. Their Father is a parent, their mother is an old hippie who wants nothing but to be their friend. Their words not mine.

Now Eric is comforting Dani. Have to say this was weird--Jess asked him to go up there because she felt sorry for her. Why? She pointedly asked him to go up there. Why didn't Jess go talk to her herself?

I am a parent of three -- 30, 24 and 19. I learned long ago one of the worst things you can do as a paprent with a burgeoning adult is to try to get them to tell you what is wrong when they are upset. They'll talk when they are ready to. Another bad thing is to try to be their friend and act as if you and they are equals -- to share their personal lives and thoughts and feelings. They do not want parents to be their friends. They want to be on their own. ASnd the last thing they want is mom and dad with them all the time. Everytime I hear people on here complain about how Dani treats Dick, I think of how my sons really do not want their parents involved in their personal lives any more. This is a major things especially in late teens and early 20's. They want to be their own persons and not have to deal with parental involvement any more. They need to do this to make the break. Eventually, they will come back on their own terms -- 2 of mine have; the youngest will when it is time. But not at the age Dani is at. Dick is the one who wants to be so close to her and so much a part of her life, so he says. But she is at an age when children naturally cringe when their parents try that sort of thing. I don't blame her at all for how she treats Dick -- not only was he never there as she grew up, but now that she is just reaching adulthood and wants her autonomy from all authority, especially parental, he hovers over her and wants to be part of every little thing she is doing, thinking, feeling. Leave the young woman alone. Dick has put her through enough and he needs to stop trying to assuage his own guilt by imposing himself on her at a time when she wants to be independent.

I think Jess wanted him to give Dani the "guy" perspective" The "just good friends" perspective".

I'm not a parent and I have no problem with how Dani is treating Dick. He is trying to buy her love and prove his devotion, but it's about 20 years to late. You reap what you sow. He may have done the best thing for her when he left her with his mother to raise and sent his second wife to spend time with her when obligated (that's his own report, by the way) but he doesn't get to come in now and say "Ooops, changed my mind, now I want to parent you." Now, her own self-absorption and complete inability to understand how her own behavior has resulted in consequences is another story. Don't feel sorry for her about that at all.

well said What....my feelings exactly. Dick is trying to resolve his own guilt by becoming a "friend". I too have adult children 21,22,24,26,27 and they need to find out who they are and then life is good. I feel sorry for Dani in more than one way. I ahve a question tho....has her mother ever been brought up?

Eric is worried. Worried and acting quite pathetic, tearing down the others as per usual.

How many times tonight is Amber going to say "when I get HOH?" It's like she's stacked her whole game on that happening. Does she realize her deal w. Dani could potentially throw JAM to the dogs?
