What’s going to be the big letdown for Steffy and Thomas

All this Forrester huffing and puffing can’t go on. Something is going to happen. I suspect a few possibilities. Taylor’s halo will crack in an unsuspecting way. Steffy over focus on her parents reunion leaves Hayes vulnerable. Thomas and the family will learn that Hope is not just a nurse maid to Douglas and that he really really loves his family with Hope, Liam and Beth. They can’t be so dismissive of them. What’s your guess?

I dont see Taylor and Steffy as dismissive of Douglas' relationship with his mother. They just want Douglas to have the same opportunity to build the same type of relationship with his father.

I disagree. They want him to live full time with Thomas. None of them have even suggested any kind of compromise. It's all or nothing. That's dismissive of Hope's role in Douglas's life.

Yes, they want him to live full time with Thomas to build the trust with Douglas for him to know that he can count on his Dad as a parent. That is how Hope and Douglas nurtured their bond. Why is it so outlandish for Thomas to do the same? Hope hasn't suggested a compromise either. She is being dismissive of Thomas' role as well.

If Hope was being dismissive then this one night sleepover wouldn't have turned into a week or so.

Credit where credit is due. She has been supportive of Douglas spending this time with Thomas. I've been impressed with her standing up to both Brooke and Liam. But she still feels that Douglas needs to live with her fulltime because he is happy and stable. As if he could not have that with Thomas. She feels that Thomas is fine as a part time dad but the full time father role should be filled by Liam.

It goes both ways, though. Thomas is trying to make the unilateral decision of moving Douglas into Eric's. He feels that Hope should be a part time mom.

Yep, and he's hogging Douglas and "controlling" when Hope sees Douglas.

He sure is. And Hope is not fighting it even though she could. She could make things really, really bad for Thomas if she wanted to. But that's not how she operates.

Yes, she could and should fight it, but Thomas is controlling her because he knows she doesn't want to drag Douglas into court. Liam is right about this situation.
