[Games] Build-A-Family Round 6 (Good!...or Bad?)

Build-A-Family Round 6 (Good...or Bad?)Round 5 Link: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=424854&board=gameIt's been three years. Your family is doing well...or are they? Something happened that threatened to tear the family apart? What was it (feel free to be dramatic)? Your oldest son (16) just got his driver's license and is pestering you to buy a car for him. What kind of car does he want? He is dating a girl in his class. What is her name (it can be whatever you want)? Your middle son (14) is still playing sports. You have allowed him to play a second sport this year. Which one is it? He likes a girl in his class. Who is she? Your twins (10) are very excited. You let them do something special for their tenth birthday. What was it? The elder twin is a musical prodigy. Which instrument has she mastered? Has she performed anywhere? The younger twin is very outgoing and loves to talk. Does this get her in trouble?
**Note: some of you said that the younger twin was better at music than the older one. If that's the case, just switch the names around. Since they're twins, it doesn't really matter what order they're in. I count the older one as the first twin and the younger twin as the second one.Your youngest son is 3. He is still a toddler, but wants very much to do everything his older siblings do. He has a security object that he carries around everywhere. What is it? It can be a blanket, a stuffed animal, or something different. No lists this round! Choose whatever names you like!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because the kids are all in school Damian has been on tour alone and without his family there he started to have a relationship with one of the managers. I only found out because Xander called up his dad on his new cell phone to tell his dad his number and she picked up and said they were busy and he heard Damian say, "Come back baby..." Xander screamed into the phone some unappropriate things and then hung up as soon as Damian got on the phone. When he returned home we had changed the locks and I had sent the kids to Tori's and watched him glared at him through the window with cold eyes... he just stood there in the pouring rain though waiting to let in. I pitied him and I through a blanket and a unbrella out the door before instantly shuting and locking it. He sat out there all night and I had to let him in when Faith, Rae, and Matty saw him and questioned why he was left out there... Xander and Nathan knew however. Right now we are together although he has been sleeping in the guest room for most nights and I no longer trust him.

We have all been well. Well, almost, Aaron almost had to move out of our house, and probably our lives. He got a promotion, soon after, he was informed to keep this job, (that paid a lot!) he would have to move far away! From South Carolina, to Seattle, Washington! We discussed it and he said he was keeping his current job. But before I had to tell the kids, (about 4 days later, not far from his departure,) he told me he quit this job, and asked his boss to get his older job back. His boss accepted and everything is thankfully back to the way it is! (Phew!!!!!) about a week from that day, Nathanael passed and got his driver's license. But 24/7 he pesters. He wants some sort of jeep. I’m not good with car names. but it is way past our budget. Aaron and I have 5 kids to feed, shelter - and so on! About 4 months ago Nathanael started dating a girl thats in his class, her name is Ella Valerie Jonason. Ryan is still playing soccer, and this year, we decided to let him play baseball too. He is doing really good, I have to say. at one of his games he met a girl, that was in his class, named Allison Jennifer Parker. He really likes her, and he says there going on a date soon! They grow up SO fast! Yeah, and Sage and Madison's tenth birthday is coming up soon. I'm taking them to New York and we are going to stay there for a couple days. They're very happy and excited! Sage is mastering in Violin. She has preformed at many theatres so far, and will be going to Florida for some special show! I am so proud of her! Now Madison talks alot, it is interesting to hear all of her stories.

DS: Matthew James (green, auburn) - 3Bad news for the whole family, Arthur's youngest sister Zoe, who has always been the one to stick out, has developed breast cancer. It is all going very fast, but Zoe is still battling against it. Arthur and his siblings Fern, Tara and Owen have allready discussed what to do with the children. They don't want to seperate them, but none of them can take all 4 (or even 6 if you count the boys aho come home for the weekend from uni). Arthur said, that he and Morgaine will take them, but Morgaine is very stressed out at the moment anyway, as she has started on her life long dream of a dramaschool for children.
All this has to happen without letting the children know, as they are still convinced, their mum will come home soon.
Autumn won't leave Zoe's bedside, as she and Zoe have become so close.Titus has just passed his driving licence and wants a range rover to go hiking with Rachel. They were good friends for two years or so (Titus being in love with her was more of a childrens thing) but for the last year they have been going out on a more serious level.

DS: Sebastian Kent (blue, bald)wonderful news! caitlin & i have been working on a novel for a few yrs now. i wrote it & she drew the pictures. well, we're being published. i can't believe the luck we're having. the only problem is the publisher wants us to go on tour. we can't leave the children & we're not sure about bringing them. we're discussing the option of tutoring on the road.Frederick (16) is now driving & begging us for a truck. he's a good boy and a cautious driver, so i think we'll give in as long as he follows a few rules we set out. i think he wants a car because he's got a girlfriend. it's his old childhood friend, Philippa. Alexander (14) is on the track team this yr, but now he wants to wrestle. we've decided to let him try out as long it doesn't affect his education. he also has a little girlfriend himself. her name is Angelica. she's a cheerleader @ their school.for their 10th bday Augusta & Rebekah wanted to go away for a long weekend to Rocky Mtn Natl Park. it's an odd gift for 2 10yos, but we loved the idea for the whole family. Augusta's dedication has paid off, she is now a violin prodigy. i wouldn't be suprised if she ends up @ Carnagie Hall. Rebekah has decided her social life is more her forte. she is constantly getting in trouble @ school, luckily it's nothing too serious.

DS: William Matthew -3Kate and Wallace are happy and relived that their family is back to normal! They were threatned about a month ago by a terrotist attack on their town. The whole family was fine, but Jeffrey was with a friend, Ethan, and they wouldn't answer the phone; it was all very traumatic and frightening, but everything is fine now.Nick passed his drivers ed class with flying colors; he is a great driver. Both Kate and Wallace were very happy about this! He says he is responsible, and really wants a chevy pick up truck. It's quite exspensive, but under consideration. He is dating a pretty girl named Abigail, who is a fantastic artist and actress. Soon they will have been dating for four months.Jeffrey is now very involved with his sports. He is still involved with basketball, and recently joined the high school football team! He is doing really well! He has recently announced that he likes a girl names Lily, which was surprising because he hasn't shown any signs of major crushes before, but he says he has. Lily is a petite girl who is in Jeffrey's music class.

Jago got his driverslicense and minute he had it he began begging Skylar and Con to buy a car for him. The thing is Jago's uncle Rod (Ormerod really, Con's brother) has bought a new car and is going to sell his old one, a Lexus IS200 sport, Jago is totally in love with this car. It is way to expensive for him, but Rod said that he would charge them less, because they are family. It's still costs too much for him, so that's why he has been driving his paretns crazy with his nagging and begging. Skylar said he would have to pay for a car himself if he wanted one, because they weren't goign to give him a car just like that. Finally they worked out an arrangement: Con and Skylar would buy the car, Jago could use it and pay his parents back within two years or the car is gone again, with theconsition that he would also help out driving the rest of the kids around (he gave in to that one as a trade for his parents to pay the insurance). He also finally worked up the nerve to ask Leia out on a date, to his surprise she had said yes. They went to the movies after eating something and at the end af the night he was rewarded with a kiss. They dated for a while, and after some dates they declared themselves boyfriend and girlfriend. Skylar wasn't happy with the news, but she respected her son's choice and never spoke of her dislikes to him again.

AnswerYes, do whatever you want. You will have to determine what the child does though, because I'm only putting down events for the first five children.

Naturally, the next step is a car, but not just any car, Lockie wants a Jeep so he can transport his surf board around with ease.Lockie has been dating a girl from his class for two years now! Her name is Zoey Elena Marshall.DS: Kyle Thomas (blue, brown) (14) - Kyle is very passionate about his sports still. His number one game is Beach Vollyball and he plays for a representative team and has the potential to go pro. He's also always loved to surf, although this has always just been recreational but he's now entering the junior competitive competition which Lockie has also competed in for the last 3 years.Kyle has a crush on a girl named Lisa Margaret Mudge.DD/DD: Leila Summer/ Sienna Skye (blue, dark brown) (10) - Leila now attends a special school for the musically gifted as she she has proven to be a bit a prodigy since she started playing Piano 3 years ago. The school is local so she attends there during regular school hours. Sienna is the social twin.

She is a bit of a queen bee and is constantly getting in trouble at school for not paying attention.

DS: William John "Liam" (blue, light brown), 3Emily and I recently went through a bit of a rough patch in our relationship. I had gotten a promotion at work, but it required moving to London, England. The job offered a generous pay raise, and I was really tempted to take it. But I also didn't want to uproot the kids from their home in Boston or live apart from my family. At one point, though, I was just about to accept. Emily and I had a huge argument about where my responsibilities lay and what I would be doing to our family if I took the job. In the end, I stayed at my current position and haven't regretted it for a second.Gabriel isn't our little boy anymore. He just turned sixteen and is begging us for a car -- a Range Rover, to be exact. While we're definitely not getting him that, we have discussed perhaps buying a used Toyota or something. Gabriel is also dating his crush from the seventh grade, Rachel Charlotte Hartigan (15). They have been seeing each other for almost a year.Alec, now fourteen, is more an athlete than ever. Right now he's focused on soccer; he's one of the youngest players (only a freshman!) on varsity this year. Because he is also doing well in school, we've allowed him to play another sport. He's leaning towards basketball, but swimming is also a valid option. Alec also has a crush on a girl in his class, Tessa Kate Dennison (14). There is a dance coming up, and he plans on asking her.

DS: William John (green, blond)Recently John and I went through a tought time. He feels I am spending too much time away from home, when the kids are at such a crucial period. We ended up seperating for a while, Tash and Will coming to live with me, while Landon, Alex and Bekah stayed with John. In the end, we realized we both still loved each other, and this was doing the kids more harm then me being away from home. John has decided to take a semester off from teaching to concentrate on the farm and the family, while I continue to work, but we are in a good place right now, so I will be cutting back my hours.Landon recently got his drivers license, and is pestering us to buy him a truck. He really wants a Toyota Tundra, but will 'settle' for any kind. We're thinking about suprising him for his birthday, but it will probably be a smaller truck like a Nissan Ranger. Landon is now dating Charlotte, the girl he had a crush on when he was younger.Alex had continued with his hockey, just like his big brother Landon. He's also taken up skiing this year, which is great! He has a crush on a girl in his class named Tori.

DD: Francesca Louisechris's ex fiance Marrisa showed up at our door with her 18 yr old daughter claimimg chris was her father. Mariussa had never told chris that she was 6 wks preg when he left. besides, she was moving across the country. we had no idea is marrisa was lying about her daughter Hayley's paternity so she consented to a dna test. she did have some of chris's features. the test showed that he was 99% chance to be her father. mariisa said she was moving back here to be near her family. of course i was afraid chris would go back to her. after many arguments and long talks we have regained some normalcy and have welcomed hayle into our family. i can't blame hayle for her parents actions and she should be able to know her father. hayle has embraced her new siblings, she's been an only child all her life.
Lucius wants to get a car. we have told him if he gets a job and raises half the amount we will pay the other half. we will have final say in which car he buys. we have also made a rule that one of us has to be with him for the first month he drives his new car. and he can only drive to certain places for now. hayle has been talking to him about her driving experiences and her small accident, we figure he'll listen to someone his age better than us. we have allowed him to date. he is dating Ashley. we have talked to her parents and have an understanding between all of us.

Ethan got sick of listening and left the house and didn't come back for two days. Nathan, Rachel, Riley, and James were frightened by the incident. While Ethan was gone, Rob and Marie had their own argument because Marie refused to believe that what the principal said was really true and disagreed with what Rob said. When Ethan came home, Rob and Marie settled and the entire argument was discontinued. Ethan was severely punished. His license was taken away along with his TV, cell phone, and privleges to leave the house or see his girlfriend.Before the argument, Ethan had been begging for a new Mini-Cooper car in celebration for his new license.

He also wants us to buy a car for his birthday. He really wants a Mini Cooper. Not likely son! Elliot is dating a girl called Nadine Emile from his class at school. Our Nathan has just turned 14 and is obviously still playing soccer (football!!!). Also this year he has taken up horse-riding which he seems very enthusiastic about. Nate has a crush on a girl in his class called Sophie Ella Marie. June and Sienna are very excitable childrena and a joy to raise. For their 10th birthday we treated them to a limo ride and a day in a recording studio with their 4 best friends.
