4th Wrap [Text/Anon post and his comments]

[sleepingbagsensei]

How the hell do you parents and/or guardians deal with your kids? Even adopted ones? From other worlds? Your own world? Doesn't matter the age. Watching/stalking, discipline, everything that comes with the package. How do you know if you're doing it right? Yeah, still sort of new at this so shoot me. Really.

You never know, you just do your best and keep learning and growing alongside them.

Are they moping about lovesick?

Re: Text

[sleepingbagsensei]

That would be the logical correct response, wouldn't it. Though, there is no denying those points are true.

Thank God no. Let's just call it puberty.

You're never doing it right.

Just hope for the best, don't smother them, and give them room to come to you with problems.

And still hold them accountable for things they've done. You're not doing them any favors by protecting them and pretending the world is different from how it is. It's natural to want to protect them, but if they're involved in a murder investigation, don't just cover it up and take the fall for them. [... That's weirdly specific.]

Thank goodness I'm not someone like that. Too much law enforcement?

Everything else seems like a correct response.

You never really know? I mean, keeping them healthy and happy is easy to see. it's the learning that comes with time.

Just do what you can and get them ready for what's coming. If they fall, pick them up and if they run, just watch them and let them know you're right behind.

Re: [anon]

[sleepingbagsensei]

Are you an actual parent? Cause that sounds more logical about right. Learning is always the fun part, on both accounts.

Thank you for that input.

That's why people shouldn't keep pets.

Too much for you?

It sounds as if you are feeling emotions that are overwhelming to you now. Anxiety? Regrets? Guilt?

[Her hands are tightly locked on her lap, and she gestures more with her head.]

My name is Mantis. I am an emotional counselor. I would like to help you, if you wish to make use of my services and abilities.

[text/anon/HES SEEN WORST]

[sleepingbagsensei]

Stress. Mostly stress.

And what kind of service do you provide?

Parenting is a learning experience for you and your kid. You won't get it right on the first try. Unless you're a Kuroneko.

Let them make mistakes. And accept that you'll make mistakes. You'll both grow from it.

And be someone they can trust. They don't have to like you all of the time, but I think your kids should trust you.

... I say all of that. My girls are robots. Parenting is different for everyone.

Re: anon text

[sleepingbagsensei]

Are you talking about some black cat or someone?

Those are some good input, thank you anon.

With robots you could reboot them I imagine.

You never really know. You can only do your best and hope for it. Love your children just as they are and try to help them find the right path, trust that they will and always believe in the bonds of familia.

It may be difficult at times and... si at times, impossible to hope for a good outcome-- but you must have faith. Believe in them and they will believe in you.

Spanish? Spoken like a true mother.

That's a lot of believing. But still, thank you for your input miss.

...ha, yeah, you're always new at it, sorry. Ev'ry time's different, every one's different, and they're someone different ev'ry time they need you, ev'ry moment. The thing to learn's which worries to keep an eye on, and which ones to let go of--which's most of them. Any parent tells you they haven't got any regrets at all either hasn't been one very long, hasn't thought it through, or doesn't want to talk about it.

text/anon forever!

[What the hell did he just heard?]

You could of stopped after the first part. That alone explains enough. Everything else, just something you expect to hear.

aight im not a parent but can i give you the perspective of an actual kid??
so i got the shitty parent experience for a good amount of existence
and then some stellar legit parenting since i got here
like the main thing you gotta do is just
treat them like a fucking person and just talk to them
if you can hold a conversation with your kid youre probably doing fine

Re: text;

[sleepingbagsensei]

You forgot the caps and punctuation by the way. A child's perspective is fine too. Conversations are A+ you say, well noted.

[brbgettingwrench]

Just let them do what they need to while knowing when the draw the line.

Like if they have something they have to do, let them do it. If something goes wrong, they'll know you'll be there to help should they need it.

Re: text;

[sleepingbagsensei]

[That he's been doing at least.]

Well noted. Thank you.

[offwithhishat]

I hope you aren't actually stalking your child.

You have to be present. Pay attention. Kids don't always say what they mean or even know how. Try to view everything from their perspective. If they've done something wrong you have to tell them why it's wrong and figure it out together. Don't treat them like they're less capable than you just because you're the adult. What they say is important. Listen. Respect who they are and eventually they'll respect you back.

[sleepingbagsensei]

I don't.

Like a team. Duly noted and thank you.

[draconixaviarix]

I have been blessed to help raise so many human children, they're wonderfully silly and full of life!

But you..don't really know. You stick to your values, guide them, and then they'll show you the rest. Especially when they grow up so wise, strong, and creative~

Re: [text]

[sleepingbagsensei]

This one is creative.

Thank you for your input.
