The Frankie Foster discussion thread

[Lynnie]

I don't really see her family as being that insensitive or mean. Stubborn perhaps. I mean, I'm picturing Mr. Foster growing up with Mr. Herriman as an "older brother" as Lauren put it, being bossed around much like Mr. H does with Frankie now. Her dad became to think that IFs would all be like Mr. H, and nothing but a bother. I can see why he wouldn't want his daughters to have IFs so he'd have to deal with them even after he had moved out of his mother's house and had his own family. I can certainly see him with a sensitive side. It's just turned off when concerning IFs after what he went through during childhood.

Maybe I should have backed off on her dad. But I feel anyone who is not a friend of IF's - is not a friend of mine!

You've read my take on Frankie's dad in the Sims thread. That version fits pretty well with what else we know. Mr. Herriman "razzing" him doesn't strike me as necessarily bossy, though; it sounds more like teasing, like what I did with my younger brother. It might suggest that Mr. Herriman has a more playful side that we don't get to see.
