That was what I was getting at in my original post, Tante. Courtney has
shown quite a few times that she isn't capable of taking care of *herself,*
let alone a couple of kids. No way would I trust her with a newborn.

And, yes, most first time mothers eventually learn how to take care of their
babies, but many of them also have a husband, a mother, a friend or some
kind of support system to help out during the first few months. Courtney's
in a town where she knows absolutely no one and has no help other than
Michael. And, as far as I know, she hasn't been doing any reading up on baby
care -- when has she had time?

She's still a complete idiot, Tante. Still running in her little wheel,
being all pouty about Jason's career, still doing her stupid martial arts
moves. Ugh.
