The Watson's are good parents because they care about their children and because the well being of their children. the well being of the kids are very important to Mrs. and Mr. Watson especially Mrs. Watson.

In the book on p.65 her quote was " I swear that with God as my witness." My response to that quote was his mother is very strict as i said in the beginning the well being of her children is very very important to her. Mr. Watson is not as strict in the book as Mrs. Watson is.

Another example is the quote that states "i won't have you putting this family in danger." (p.65). My responses to that was i think Byron is a very dangerous kid to be around. For example they are sending him to stay with grandma sands because lately Byron has been getting in trouble because of the people he has been hanging around with. Mr. Watson is a good father because when his kids are in a stump he cheers them with his hysterical jokes.

On of her quotes are " I wont have u putting this family in danger." This shows that Byron is very careless and dangerous and reckless. another quote that shows the Watson's are good parents is " Grandma Sands is going to keep Byron for the summer and if thing don't improve or get better he'll stay there until next school year. that shows that the Watson's are good parents they are trying to raise there kids right. So far they have done a good job except Byron.

For example my sister is like Byron she to act up and my mom have to send her to jamaca to live with my dad. Now that she has spend two years there with my dad she has become a much better person. I think my mom send her there because she didnt want her to make the same mistakes my mom did while growing up. My point is that in no way is Mrs. and Mr. Watson bad parents. they are good parents and they should stick to wat they do. In conclusion the Watsons are good parents.
