Brooke is a 2 faces snake

While I agree Thomas should be raising Douglas I will say that Hope has gotten no credit for what she's done for the boy providing the only stability he's ever had in his life. I'm also guessing that she didn't receive ANY financial compensation for what she's done either.
The Forresters didn't want to help with the boy and never offered. Neither did Bill.
Taylor tries to act all sweet and nice but she's not. She just hides it better than Brooke does. Go Brooke. If Taylor wants Ridge make her pay for it.

Hope has gotten all the credit in the world. Every time some one talks about Douglas, they say how Hope created a stable and loving environment for him when Thomas could not. She did not however provide the only stable environment he's ever had. Thomas and Caroline were loving parents to Douglas. He was a well adjusted little boy when he came back to town after Caroline died.

I've always found Douglas well adjusted and just an awesome young man. My issue is that Hope should not be considered by the Forrester trio as a temporary solution. She adopted Douglas and became his legal mother for life, not his temporary parent until the Forresters wanted him back in the fold. There are so many legal, moral and ethical wrongs about what the trio are trying to do.

Thomas did not give up his parental rights. He shared them with Hope. Custody agreements can be revisited if circumstances change. There is nothing illegal or ethically or morally wrong with Thomas wanted to resume his place as Douglas' primary caregiver.

My issue is not with revisiting the custody agreement. If both Hope and Thomas agree to do that, I'm good with that. Sit down. Talk about it. Talk with Douglas. Keep it between the parents. My issue is the way it was presented by Thomas to Hope and the narrative between Taylor, Steffy, Thomas and Ridge about Douglas and being a Forrester and the whole taking back what is their's. That is where the ethical, moral and legal wrongs come into play.

Yeah, Steffy going off talking about taking Douglas back as if he's territory.

Exactly. Steffy has managed to objectify Douglas.

Thomas hasn't and he is the one pursuing a custody change. He has spoken about wanting him to know his Forrester legacy and grow up making memories with his side of the family as well. I can't fault him for that.

Yes, he is. What else does moving Douglas out of his residence and into another one and telling Hope that he wants to become a "primary parent" mean? To me, it means that joint custody is not enough and he's going for full custody.
