1: you should space out the clues more. they are hard to stare at.
2: I like how you clarified that bobby was a boy. although I was scared to look at the hint because I wasn't sure what was gonna be there.
3: I like how you got relatives into this.

I am glad you single-spaced the clues, because that allows me to locate the grid right above them (after having reduced the bottom margin of the grid).
However, I still have not solved the puzzle after 5 or 6 attempts. Billy's and Barbie's last names are still a mystery!

Chaskey, look closely at clues 8, 9, and 10.
I still don't know how to figure our Barbie and Billy's Last Names.
Thanks, mrsfessler, I finally got it! This is a very good one! I can now relax and say that I enjoyed the long, frustrating endeavor.
There are some assumptions you have to make having to do with the family ties which bothered me. There are also some assumptions you have to make as far as gender goes, it would be helpful to have the genders listed out. For example, I know a girl named Billy.
I agree that there are too many assumptions when it comes to the family members. I think that should have been specified a little bit better.
I still couldn't solve it. I know which child gave which flowers to which mother, but I couldn't figure out the last names for 3 of the kids.
Clue 8: Mrs. Bird's sister, Tina, loved her roses. So Mrs. Bird is an aunt and her child and Tina's child are cousins. From Clue 4, we know the one who gave the roses was a girl, so Tina's child is a girl. And from Clue 10 we know that the Tina's daughter's cousin is Buddy, so Tina must be Drake. From Clue 9: Barbie's Aunt Terry...., so we know that Terry and Buddy are Bird. Does that help? Is that allowed?
Good one! Thanks a lot. It was tricky especially figuring out the cousins. The genders were confusing as I also know a female Billy and a female nicknamed Buddy.
Got it all except I had two last names switched - Billy's and Buddy's.
