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.

But it can't be done unilaterally. Either Hope has to agree or they go to court. Maybe the WRP should have thought about that before she pushed Thomas to have Hope step up as Douglas' mother. I am sure the Forrester bullies just expect Hope to roll over but if she thinks Douglas staying with her is in his best interest, she should fight it all the way.

Precisely. Hope doesn't get to dictate that the arrangement stays the same, either. Neither does Brooke who is trotting around saying what she will and will not allow. Hope and Thomas have to work this out and if they can't they will need to get a mediator. Their parents and extended family should stay out of it but we all know that will not happen.

Wrong. Until the arrangement is changed, then the current situation remains the same. Which means she does get to dictate all terms as they were previously agreed. I totally agree this could be a good situation for mediation but Brooke, Deacon, Taylor and Ridge need to sit down and allow Hope and Thomas to work this out.

No I meant that she cannot just say that the arrangement stays the same and just expect Thomas to go along with it. Thomas is serious about this and he is taking his time and not rushing into anything. He obviously is taking Hope's feelings into consideration and acknowledging the care and home he provided for Douglas.

I don't think he is considering her feelings. I have heard her consider his, but maybe I missed where he was telling his family considerate things about her feelings?
