    If he’s voice acting then he won’t be able to watch the child as well. So unless his work is strictly in school hours and term time, Brad and Toni will have to step up as before…and take their annual leave/rearrange their shifts/cancel their activities as before…

    What the New DeGroots SHOULD have said was: “Not as much of a PAIN as YOU are!”

    Oh.

    And please note: “The People, the Food, the parties!”

    All of which Jonah enjoyed while B&T were getting yelled by crazy old ladies in the park.

    And I wouldn’t put any stock in “not having to watch the imp anymore.”

    Jonah has reneged begore.

    Besides, watching one’s own kid interferes with “party time.”

    That is a cute poster she made. Nice to see that she’s grateful.

    I don’t think doing voice acting from home is a thing. You always have to go into a studio to do that kind of work. But who knows?

    So will they offer to sit for her, anyways?

    Misdirection play, as I predicted. The joy in Shannon’s drawing combined with Jonah’s announcement prepare a new phase with Shannon, and sudden realization that parenting, for all its foubles and difficulties might be something they both want now, plus a sadness that won’t be watching the ’imp."

    Nice, Jonah finally has the stability he was lacking and now he’ll be able to looks after his daughter. I hope this work lasts, but I don’t think that means he will never ask his sister to look after Shannon again. I love seeing how sad Toni and Brad are at the thought of not having to look after Shannon anymore. They like having that imp around.

    Obviously Brad and Toni are conflicted. On one hand, they’re glad Jonah got this potentially great gig that he can do from home, and, take care of Shannon. On the other, they’ll miss taking care of Shannon.An obvious solution is that’s time for them to have one of their own. But as much as Toni liked playing mother to Shannon, is she ready to take that big step?

    Cue up the Boston tune, in the last panel; “we’re ready.” B&T’s disappointment shows that they enjoyed the parenting experience, and could be ready to make one of their own. Our visitations with Shannon shall likely decrease for the near term. It will be interesting to see how she is age-progressed. Perhaps she will reach the early teens in time to babysit B&T’s kid, who just might be a flower/ring kid at Luann’s wedding to…Gunther. Gotta stay consistent with my long-term predictions.

    I think the incident in the park had an effect on Shannon; she witnessed first hand another kid’s parent who was aggressive and abrasive (“not nice”), and somehow she came to realize that however imperfect her situation was, the people around her trying to raise her are caring gentle people. Jonah may not be the perfect parent but he loves her and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. Brad & Toni (and TJ and Nancy) have stepped in; everyone is moving up the learning curve. i think Shannon realizes that she has “nice” people around her.

    Voice acting gigs from home can be done at hours of your own choosing. I know of one voice actor who worked from her home studio because she had kids and wanted to be there, while the main voice studio was in Vancouver. She could do 3 – 5 episodes a day, if not more, as well as other gigs besides her main show.

    Oh for crying out loud! Is there nothing Jonah is not criticized for? He calls his daughter an imp and people act like he should have CPS called on him.

    Let me point this out. Jonah became a father at a very young age. And he had to be a single father because babymama skipped out and left him holding the bag, diaper bag actually. He may not win father of the year, but as least he’s trying. He made the choice to keep the baby and raise her at an age when most guys biggest worries are passing the SATs. And he must be doing something right because his daughter adores him.
