How are the gang’s relationship with their parents(and extended family)
OH BOI this took a lot especially because I had to think and RETHINK relationships and stuff, but here we go!
Abby's Family
Abby lives with her parents since she's still studying (and a minor too). They're still in a good relationship, as close as ever, and with new people around the house! Her older brother Jacob and his sons Simon and Lawrence are living at her home since Jacob's wife unfortunately passed away. The man needed help with the kids since he works a full job at Mr. Boss's company.
Only problem is Cree: since she got married in secret, she's seen less and less at the house, also because she moved with her new husband. Her and Abby don't talk anymore after a huge fight they had some years before. Jacob too doesn't talk to her too much, for some reason.
Also, they all love Hoagie, he's always welcome in the house! Sometimes they force Abby to invite him over...

Wally's Family
Wally too still lives with his parents and Joey in their old house, but things are not too good.
Wally doesn't have a good relationship with his mother anymore; they mostly scream at each other and argue a lot. His father keeps out of their arguments, doesn't even try to mitigate them anymore at this point; if they start, he just takes Joey to the living room to watch TV or something.
Sydney has a better relationship with him, even if Wally never wants to talk about his problems with him. One might say it's just teen behaviour, but Wally just doesn't want to worry him too much.
At least things calm down when Kuki's over; they all love the girl!
He's incredibly close to Joey. The two spend a lot of time together; Wally allows him in his room whenever he wants, plays with him sometimes and also lets him sleep in his bed!
Also, since Lou and Syd reconnected, sometimes he hangs around the house too, if they need a babysitter for Joey. Wally... tolerates him. He's good at videogames, at least.

Kuki's Family
Kuki too lives with his family: her parents and Mushi. Her parents are still strict and serious, maybe a bit demanding now that she's in high school, but she handles it pretty good most of the times. Clever girl!
But things are not good. Her parents barely talk to each other, and it is starting to take a tool on her.
Also, they don't like Wally at all, considering him a "no good imbecile punk". She isn't allowed to have him at home; Kani also doesn't want him to get NEAR the house, and sometimes Kuki has to get out without them knowing. But they ALWAYS get to know what she does, and it's because Mushi always tells on her.
The little girl somehow managed to get out of her lifelong grounding, and is now her dad's favorite girl. She's like one of those Delightfuls: a spoiled educated kid who always does what adults say.

Hoagie's Family
Hoagie still lives with his mom, his grandmother (when she wants to annoy them) and his brother Tommy. Everything's fine on this side, luckly!
His mom still works at Mr. Boss' company, but managed to become Head of Marketing, so she has a lot to do and not too much time to spend home. Hoagie makes sure everything is always ready and clean, cooks for everyone (and he's very GOOD at it!), takes care of laundry and makes sure Tommy showers AT LEAST once at week. He's the man of the house! Especially since no one knows or cares where his father is, at this point.
Him and Tommy had a period where they fell apart, but after a little talk with Nigel, they reconnected, and Hoagie is even more protective of him.
He can't stand his grandma and has started to block her hits and talk back. Especially if she tries to say anything about Tommy.
Abby's always welcome to their house, but Betty always asks to invite her when she's home too, so they can talk! She loves the girl!
His grandma usually hisses at her. Tommy too.
AND FINALLY I CAN ADD Nigel's Family
After getting his house back when he turned 18, Nigel lived alone in a house that slowly started looking like a messy prison: dirty dishes, clothes everywhere, dust and cracks. The only rooms that were intact were his parent's bedroom (which he started to sleep in) and his old bedroom, that he never entered since he went back.
Penny arrived at the right time, as he needed something to get himself together and remember why he was still there and fighting in the TND: for the sake of kids all around the world. The same kids his parents protected as long as they could.
Penny claimed his old bedroom and is thinking of adding mermaid touches EVERYWHERE. The house still needs cleaning tho.
