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

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?

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.]

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.

[[ooc: Strike not there.]]

Yeah. My adopted daughters were both like that.

But with moping about lovesick. Pretty sure I did not nail that one.

Good luck?

If you can be vague, I'll try to help. If nothing else, you know you're not the first/only one.

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

Everything else seems like a correct response.

Maybe.

[Head tilt.] Is this a test?

Studies shows that girls are more dramatic than boys, especially in puberty. You have my sympathy.

I'll try.

This one is sharp with an attitude. Yeah, we'll go with that.

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.

Kind of reminds me of those shows, the drama ones. They probably get higher rating more the drama, which involves family members and loved ones with plot twists.

Not really, but it's the kind of answers I expected. Was trying to find something different, and I did in a weirdly way.

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.

[[strikes not there]]

Thanks.

~~Reminds me of my ex. Oh god you're dealing with explosions brat?~~

[BALEETED!!!!]

I was a bit like that when I was that age. I had some smart mentors and allies in the marines that kept me from completely dropping out of the academy and marines even when I broke nearly all the rules.

Don't do groundings. At least, it wouldn't have worked for me. Or someone else I'm thinking of.

What worked best for me was finding my justice. And my friend needed outlets for his passion and dealing with the rage at the injustice of the world.

It's also important to know where the attitude is coming from. If your kid is like me, he's just an asshole and doesn't care what others think about that. You can't change it without giving him a good reason. Or in my case, my former boss, and one of my best friends assigned me to deal with the worst the marines had: unruly punks like myself but with less control and temperament. G-5 regularly threatened to, and attempted to set pirates on fire for fun. But they meant well. They just were losing their hearts seeing so much of the worst of the world without the good. Kids, and young recruits, like that, just really need someone they can't burn up with their anger. Who understands it, but can teach them how to channel it.

That's why people shouldn't keep pets.

[... Shrugs! ~~Your Meta is over his head!!!~~]

My daughter says I'm too workaholic. She's probably right, but since she's not here, what else is there to do?

But I can understand making sacrifices for them, of course. There's no one more important to you, even when you're trying to save someone else's kids too.

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.

I am. And yeah, just always be ready for everything and, just try to listen to your kid if they need it.

~~Damn, he caught on fast.~~

[Not there!]

I have a good idea where his attitude coming from. ~~Still blaming All Might on this.~~

[Not there!]

I have confidence he will turn out for the better as well in life. He has his dream to accomplish and that's what is keeping him on the right road. Smart kid. But he pushes himself too much sometimes. ~~Damn, this anon stuff.~~

[not there]

Yeah, not doing grounded again. Only cause it was noisy in the house and video games.

Thanks for sharing your story. It's given me some positive input.

Edited 2018-07-20 01:13 (UTC)

Workaholic. o/\o

You can try a hobby or wait for someone else to drag you to do a hobby, while we're stuck here.

A never ending job, and I don't mind it at all.

I could tell. Listen to them, yeah. ~~He needs to talk first.~~

[strike not there]

Too much for you?

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.

[She smiles, happy that she hasn't been rejected ~~yet~~. Look, it doesn't take a lot to make her day.]

I am an empath. I can temporarily relieve your stress, if that is your wish. I am also able to sense emotions. It is a useful service for those who have difficulty expressing their thoughts and feelings.

[Like people who go anon tend to do.]

You got off easy with the grounding, he's a better kid than me. Being cooped up would have driven me insane. And resulted in some worse destruction. If I didn't just sneak out and join an underground fight club.

Does he have any actual outlets right now for anything other than screaming and yelling?

[Fudge it. He's getting off anon, no point.]

Possibly because I'm his teacher as well and gain his respect. I only teach and train him along with his classmates. This field is very different than school grounds.

Besides punching and quirk explosions? You haven't met his biological parents.

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.
