I'm sure they'd have been a whole lot better than the ones I knew. The parents were divorced, and living in the same apartment block, so if one parent made a condition or a rule, it was only too easy to get the other one to countermand it. Supposedly, Michelle lived with the mother and Michael with the father, but in fact they swapped several times a week. Michael was passive-aggressive; Michelle was actively nasty, with a sweet smile on her beautiful face, which stopped being beautiful as soon as you got to know her.
