With the exception of a few I've never seen a more miserable, pathetic example of parenting that was presented over this weekend. Many weren't deserving of the title of "parent" and I'm utterly repulsed by their behavior.

[However, some of your moms are very, very hot.] I'm grateful for the ones that seemed to gather the

[tadwizard]

Yeah, I agree.

[majorum_pride]

At least their children seemed to recognize they were in unfortunate circumstances. It would have been more of a pity if they were accepting of that treatment.

[tadwizard]

Yeah.

[majorum_pride]

I assume even with the two brothers remaining you've more than your fair share. [He does not know of the reasons for concern, but if he did he would know Brax was in his Brax-y way.] Some didn't entirely meet with disapproval. Some were completely offensive.

I believe we had a game to play.

[Private]

[majorum_pride]

I am. [And learning geography via game will help distract him from missing his wives and family.] I'll be there shortly.

[One day he will come in smelling like catnip and it will be the end of him.]

[darknessb4me]

Have you considered that maybe you're not getting the full story from the two days the parents were here?

[majorum_pride]

I have, but many made a gross display of their purposeful neglect and arrogance. Discipline a child, yes. Belittle and demean your future? That's offensive.

[darknessb4me]

Might not be any of your damn business to be commenting on.

[majorum_pride]

I'm entitled to my opinion and you're entitled to ignore it if you would rather. I did wait until they were gone to say so, and I only had a conflict with one parent whose daughter I have a specific interest in.

Hungry.

[majorum_pride]

That's better than most alternatives, I suppose.

I spoke with your mother. She was interesting. [Pretty, but kind of hard on you.]

[captain_jtkirk]

[That's how everyone is in my life :c]

Yeah, I saw. That's just how we talk to each other.

[Filtered]

[majorum_pride]

Oh. [A hint of pleasant surprise in his voice.] That's a relief in comparison to some of the other parents I observed.

[Your mom? Really hot.] I did observe a marked resemblance.

[...Wait...]

[fivestepsahead]

I suppose it's only to be expected.

[majorum_pride]

I suppose. Right now I appreciate the emphasis my people place on parenting more than ever. I grew up on a Nietzschean colony, as well, so this is...

[Appalling. It's appalling. :\ And even humans parented better in his day.]

[fivestepsahead]

[ Pause. ]

I won't say that there isn't an emphasis, but simply that- [ when he speaks, his voice is bone dry: ] many parents are selfish.

[ It's partly why he had been picking fights with parents here. There is simply no excuse for purposefully hurting your child (unless there is a good reason, and Bruce always has a good reason), and if it's by accident- calling the parent out on it is the best solution. ]

[majorum_pride]

I will never deny being selfish. [Lawl. Egoist.] But my children are my future. My children are everyone's future and- [Oh yeah, he's not seeing his children again. Moving on!]

Even if genetics aren't a matter, they carry on some element of your ideals and your influence. Why would anyone want to reject something so significant, so wonderful that it can give you love and permanence?

[Now that it's all over, he's just feeling disappointed.]
