rough draft Parenting Style For Everybody's Second Favorite Cathusband First of all, this man hates talking- he much prefers to listen so he'll listen to his kits babble on and on and he'll be engaged in the mostly one sided conversation. But he'll also answer any questions they have and be honest with them if he doesn't know the answer. He will completely support the kiddos in whatever they want to do (and would help them explore outside camp maybe even before apprentice age :eyes:) Once they turn about four-six moons, that's when Ronnie will tell them how he met their father (because that's around the age he was when he met Fika!!) One of his family's traditions is to have a nickname for each member that is a type of bird, so he will give each of the kits' one of their own (if you would like to know, his bird nickname is Thrasher which only his mother really calls him). So far the options I have collected for it that have not been taken by the other family members are hummingbird, falcon, blackbird, dove, sparrow, crane, stork, cardinal, condor, flamingo (and more). But he'll say it like, my little dove/crane/stork or my darling cause he's a sappy fool like that <3 Ronnie's not good at giving gifts / accessories but try his hardest to learn how to make gifts/accessories for them. He'll most likely want to stargaze with them a lot because stars have been and are very important to the STARRY-eyed wonders. Strongcaper won't be very good at straight out telling him that he loves them but he'll show it in other ways. If any of his children ever exemplify the same ambition as himself (which is to be the best/strongest so that he can protect and take care of his loved ones + a few more things related to that), he'll try to steer them away from it. He knows that a lot of the stuff he does to be strong is unhealthy and doesn't want that path for his kids (will he stop doing it? no but he's not perfect). Ronnie would also make sure that they know that they are loved no matter who or what they are, that he loves them no matter the bad things they do- he just might not be able to support those things and would be disappointed in them but he would never stop loving them. He would also make sure they know that they could come to him for anything. If they wanted advice, a shoulder to cry on, someone to just listen, someone to protect them etc cause he believes it's his job to do all that for them and he wants to do it because he loves them.
Chortle, Chirrup, Cherish, & Charm- y'all are going to be spoiled ngl Also if the owners of the kits see this and have suggestions for their children's bird nickname, I welcome suggestions. So far I have...no ideas. (so far: chortle is hummingbird, chirrup cheeb is dove, charm is sparrow, & cherish is) ALSO ALSO, whenever I think of him parenting- I can't stop listening to that one song from Hamilton "Dear Theodosia". I think it fits
