what is the password?

1. Yes and 2. It would be tough, but I would allow her to see her birth parents and try to form some kind of relationship where we all can be in one place sometimes.

1. Yes they do 100%. Even after all these years, mark still isn’t exactly my favorite sim. His and Ashley’s situation is so messed up. But, i do acknowledge that he’s changed, and i KNOW he would never purposely hurt his kids. 2. Honestly, i feel super bad for mark and april. I would be so sad and scared that moe would want to leave too. I know they love her so much. And the way logan and morgan are going about trying to get custody of moe is so wrong.

I’ve never liked Mark and because of how nasty he’s been in these episodes I hope that smug look is wiped off his face. The gross possessiveness is what’s getting me. “My little girl. MY daughter. Mine” I do like April but it’s so hard to root for them because of him. AND the MANIPULATION of a child? Evil.

Ight, let’s get this out in the open. I’ve had mixed feelings about Mark from day 1. But since Logan and Morgan revealed the identities of Moe’s adopted parents, I knew that this would be a ride and a half. Mark has been rather sneaky and manipulative since the beginning. He sees what he wants and wants it, period, and there is little thought about anyone else. His conversation with Moe made me sick quite frankly because, yes, legally, she is your daughter, but she isn’t at the same time. She has the right to choose to be with/ visit her birth parents if she wants. That being said, Morgan has every right to be angry, but how she went about it was wrong. If Mark had honored the custody agreement in the first place and let them see and spend time with their child, we would be in a different location. I wish the adults took off their diapers and started acting like ADULTS instead of babies because it’s hurting Moe. Pulling from my own life, Moe needs to do what I do. I call a family meeting and force people to talk because families need to be transparent with each other and voice their feelings. Moe needs to demand they tell her the truth, for her sanity and the ending of this hell.

1. I think Morgan has every right to feel the way she does considering what went on with her past as well. She's scared for her daughter and she wants the best for her and knowing that someone like this raised her child has set a fire within her. 2. I would sit down with Moe and let her know that her parents didn't give her up because they wanted to. They did it because in their situation, it was the safest option and now that they're in a stable household and environment, they want to have a relationship with their baby. I feel like Mark's manipulation, lies, and possessiveness has led Mogan to believe that her parents are horrible monsters when really it's been him all along. Threatening his wife not to let Mogan see her birth parents, threatening Morgan and Logan and even going as far to get restraining orders on them, and even now using his health conditions to manipulate Moe. I despise that man.

1. She has every right to feel the way she does…Mark definitely lied about him not knowing how old Ashley. He spend so much time plotting to keep Moe away from her parents that he don’t even know what’s going on with his own daughter 2. If I was in their shoes I would let them see her. They have never caused Moe any harm. Looking back Mark made this whole open adoption hard on everybody

Great job ladies! What a great episode! I think this has been the most enjoyable episode in this series for me. To answer your questions: 1) I think Morgan has every right to feel the way she does. If Morgan and Logan would have known of Mark’s past, I do not believe they would have gone through with having him adopt Mogan. I do not doubt she wants to protect her daughter, however, sometimes I feel Morgan’s feelings are pushed to the side in favor of the adults’ power struggle. At the end when April left them to talk, Morgan telling Mogan that they’ve found a way to take Mogan away didn’t sit well with me. This is not what Mogan wants. She wants both sets of parents to be a part of her life, and I think Mogan will benefit from both sets of parents being in her life. 2) If I was in Mark and April’s situation I would continue fighting for Mogan, I mean she is their daughter. As most comments have pointed out, April seems to be the more levelheaded of the adults, taking what Mogan wants and what may be best for her into consideration. I hope both sets of parents can sit down and have a civil discussion. Okay my personal thoughts: both sets of parents are handling this very irresponsibly. They are getting Mogan involved and making decisions in a way a child should not have to make. Yes Mogan is a smart girl, but she is still a child and some of that childlike innocence should be preserved. Mogan should not be given an ultimatum. To an extent, Mogan and parents need to talk, and her feelings should be taken into consideration, but she shouldn’t be involved in this way. I hate that both sets of parents keep making the other seem like monsters. For now they should explain things in a simple way and when she is older they can further discuss the complexity and nuance of the situation. Mark and April should reassure her that Logan and Morgan love her and only gave her up because they were not in the best situation to provide the best for her, not because they didn’t want her. Morgan and Logan should assure her that no matter the outcome, Mark and April love her and they (Morgan and Logan) love her as well. I’m not a parent, but does anyone else find it irresponsible on Logan and Morgan’s part to allow Mogan to stay up super late during school days and not reprimand her for sneaking out and doing so behind Mark and April’s backs. When Morgan texted Mark, I thought she was going to say that they needed to talk about Mogan, and she was going to let them know what Mogan’s been doing. I thought that was going to be the moment when everyone realized that they need to re-evaluate the situation and have an open discussion, but no lol. The situation is complex. It’s neither black nor white, but sometimes it feels as if the characters approach it with an all-or-nothing attitude. There will not be a perfect outcome, but I hope they will find a solution that works best for everyone but more specifically, what will be best for Mogan and her well-being. This can take a toll on her mental health, and she might begin to develop ineffective coping mechanisms. Mogan needs to be left out of the bickering and reassurance that she is loved , accepted, and wanted.

Areeana✨

I FINALLY watched it and I must say WOW that was crazy both parents need to sit down and talk with Moe about how she feels and not just send these threats then act all nice and sweet towards Moe she’s young but not dumb Mark shouldn’t have been that stressed I was so sad for him! 🥺 He already took care of everything I know he was scared I feel he would have been okay! But Moe yelling at them like that at the end that surprised me BIG time 😦!! //But overall this episode was very very good! ♥️
