The books are much better than the show. I loved the first 8 or 9. Devoured them. Brought me here so they must have been good. :D
I think I just accepted that as a reference to the fact that so few parents really know what their teenage children are doing. My son goes out with friends, goes to parties and I trust they are good things. But I don;t really know what they get up to. And you read the horror stories all the time. So I had no trouble with this.
I suppose for me she was the grounding in reality. Buffy could go through her front door and live normal for a bit, have a rest. I liked the way they handled the big reveal as well and Joyce's reaction. So correlates to real life.
Er no, not usual. I should have finished my aprenticeship but I didn't. :D
