Introduction[]
Gabroonie Family Issues[]
Susan: "Aah! you stupid (beep)!"
Barney: "Because mom and dad work four to five nights a week, I am charge of taking care of my younger sisters and brothers. It's so exhausting for me being a third parent to them,"
Jo: "How does that make you feel knowing that your parents work full-time?"
Barney: "For me, it's frustrating and exhausting, because I get no rest and I am in desperate need of a break from all that. My grades in school are now slipping because of that."
Jo: "Did you try to convince mom and dad that you needed a break?"
Barney: "I tried to get a hold of them, but no avail."
Jo: "So, do any of your siblings ruin any holidays?"
Barney: "Christmas was a sheer nightmare... because Frank, Frances and Susan ruined the school Christmas play which Maggie was starring in. And then on Christmas Day, those terrible threesome each received nothing but sticks and coal in their stockings and they opened their present to find a note from Santa Claus who was really, really mad at them. But then, a few minutes later, Frank, Frances and Susan stole their cousins' presents and claimed them as their own."
Jo: "What was the name of the school Christmas play?"
Barney: " "
Parent Meeting[]
Jo: "So, let's talk about your family life. Barney, the oldest, decides to become a third parent to his younger brothers and sisters because you two are working full time. And he finds it hard work to play dad, when he should be out doing what normal teenagers would do."
Tammy: "I tried asking my boss for a part time schedule, but he just wouldn't listen."
Ryan: "I tried the same thing, but he said that all the slots for a part time schedule are filled."
Jo: "What are your daily schedules for work?"
Tammy: "5 pm to 11 pm."
Ryan: "6 pm to 10 pm."
Jo: "Okay. At some point, you two can talk to your bosses and figure this out because I just don't want Barney doing all the work. Let's talk about the twins and Susan."

Jo: "Let's start with the first rule: Use your indoor voices,"
Barney: "You hear that, guys? That means no screaming or shouting at each other like this,"
Barney (imitates screaming): "I hate you!"
Barney (normal voice): "Because that's unacceptable,"
Jo: "Here is another rule: Be kind to other people,"
Barney: "See? You don't have to fight or argue. OK?"
