Parenting meme that's going around.

I'm going to spam this post with parenting related prompts for various people. To which I will probably link you. Feel free to also spam this in return!

For Louis

[unknownrival]

[It's late, or at least what you consider 'late' when you're raising a child. Issei is singing a lullaby to the boy in his bed, who's complained of not being tired.]

Hushabye, hushabye
My good baby, sleep.

Where did my boy's baby-sitter go?
Beyond that mountain, back to her home.

[Before he gets to the third verse, he sees that their son is fast asleep. He smiles and steps out of the bedroom, coming over to Louis.]

He should be all right now.

[starofchaos]

There's no need to coddle him. He'd have slept on his own.

[There's nothing short of pure amusement in his voice, belying the slightly harsh words.]

[unknownrival]

Yes, but would it be as good a night's sleep?

Issei

[aquaticrush]

*Retasu hangs up the phone with the teacher, sighs, and shakes her head.* He keeps trying to hold his breath underwater ever since he learned that I could do it. Should I be worried...?

[unknownrival]

I'm sure they have lifeguards for this reason.

[aquaticrush]

There are other people in the pool, though, and what if something happens or -- I'm not very good at not worrying, am I?

[unknownrival]

No, not really. It's all right, everything will be fine.

[aquaticrush]

You're sure?

[unknownrival]

Trust me, dear.

[aquaticrush]

*blush* All right, Issei. I trust your judgment. Still, I don't really know how to deal with this sort of thing.

[unknownrival]

We should talk to him about it.

[aquaticrush]

Say "we're fairly sure you're human, please don't do this sort of thing"?

[unknownrival]

Basically, that.

[aquaticrush]

I wonder if anybody else ever has to deal with this kind of situation.

Ledah

[First day of school was always nerve-wrecking for the kids, but apparently April was just as nervous. Since the moment their daughter disappears behind the school doors, April fidgets nervously with her hands.]

... You think she'll be okay?

[gaveupfeeling]

Of course. She's our daughter, we raised her well, and public school is designed to be safe.

[technologic]

Ah, y-yeah, you're right... I hope she makes some friends though, since she is pretty quiet... But she should be fine.

[gaveupfeeling]

Please relax. It will be all right.

[technologic]

O-okay... And if anything does go wrong, the school will phone us. [She sighs quietly and leans against him a bit.]

It just... feels like she grew up so fast. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago when we were teaching her how to walk.

I have no idea how I completely lost this notif.

[gaveupfeeling]

I've heard that's a common feeling. We will still have a long time with her, don't worry.

Because inboxes are evil

[technologic]

Mmhm... Though I wonder how things are gonna be like when she's a teenager.

[gaveupfeeling]

...It might be difficult for us.

[technologic]

Hopefully she won't be too rebellious or anything... And that we won't have to worry too much when she decides to start dating.

[gaveupfeeling]

We can easily threaten all her suitors.

[technologic]

[She gives a giggle.] Yeah, we can. But what if she finds someone nice?
