Stan's parents in the book are only mentioned like once or twice, but I get the vibes that they're the kind of parents that aren't really close with their son at all. Sometimes Stan bonds with his father over little stuff like birds, but Donald and Andrea are not Maggie and Wentworth. They don't joke around with their son or humor him much, the uris's don't really do humor. They care about Stan as much as any parent would care about their son, but nothing beyond that. They never sat down with Stan and had a movie night. They never volunteered at one of his boyscout meetings. They have a very "that's to be expected" reaction to Stan being bullied.

They care an awful lot about Stan's future- perhaps too much, but they can't help but have certain expecations for Stanley because he's so smart. Stan's just a mini adult, he's not like other kids, he can handle a lot more than they can. They don't have to kiss his booboos to make em feel better, he just needs a bandaid. If someone were to ask Stan about the way his parents treated him he'd probably say he likes that they aren't helicopter parents or parents that constantly force him to hang out, but maybe Stan would prefer something more intimate every once in a while. I wouldn't say Donald and Andrea are necessarily abusive, they're not like Alvin Marsh or Butch Bowers, they just don't really know what the hell to do with their son. Does Stan wanna talk about his feelings? No not really. Does Stan like small talk? Again, not really. They just kind of do the bare minimum in everything and assume Stan is fine with that.

It's not that Stan is unhappy persay, he doesn't necessarily spend nights in his room crying for good parents who love him. It's just complicated, and sometimes Stan feels like he could use a break from their weighty expectations.

might just be me but I always thought the one thing that stan was really bad at was making eye contact

Computer, show me characters gaining weight as a sign of their improving mental state. Show me characters learning to love their body as they learn to love themselves. Show me characters no longer punishing themselves for something that isn’t their fault. Computer. Computer do you hear me.

If you’re in the right headspace for it, please learn about Emily Pike. Heavy trigger warnings for brutal murder, dismemberment, and generally disturbing disregard for the life of a child.

What do you think little Stanley Uris was like in baseball

FINALLY I GOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS

he probably started very young since his father wanted him to be in the baseball team like he did in his teenage years. when everything was so new. when kids didn't care about the fact he was jewish. when it didn't matter, because no one knew the exact meaning.

baseball kinda stuck to him in his childhood and never left. it was kinda terrifying at first, all those adults watching them play a stupid game about a ball and a run and a bat and cheer or yell directions to them. it was horrifying, but when he realized it made his father happy. happier than he had ever known him. it was like donald was looking at him like he was looking at his younger self. reminiscing the good old years.

and stanley wanted to make his father happy because why wouldn't he? donald would take him and his mother to his favorite ice cream shop after a match. maybe a toy if he did really good.

i don't think he has a talent for baseball or anything, he wouldn't even care about it that much. it was just a simple way to make his father proud. swing the bat, catch the ball, get a approving smile when you look in the crowd. it was good enough of a prize. it was probably one of the few things he could have in common with his dad.

he'd never miss practices or matches. he was a good player, not talented but reliable enough to keep in the team. he didn't whine much - except the times he got dirt in his shoes or the grass stained his clothes. he did the work, gave a humble smile everytime the coach complimented his performance with a nod, did a run, didn't disobey any rules.

i don't know much about baseball, to be real, but i feel like sometimes, he would know when to swing the bat. a lightbulb going 'now' and everytime he would follow that sign he would score. he never knew what that was, he would assume that was how everyone operated. something falling into place when it was the moment. he learned it wasn't like that with everyone when he was so much later in life.

he would play through high school too. call it clinging to his father's approval, call it believing he was making a use of himself with the sport, call it exercising. it didn't matter. it was such a normal thing that he didn't even step back and wonder why he was still doing it in the first place. it was a routine. it was also fun holding the bat. familiar.

losers would come to his every match, even if it flustered him a little. it was kinda embarrassing, playing in front of them. richie and bev would do ridiculous banners to hold in the air and eddie would curse their team very loudly when they received an out.

it was still one of the things that he and his father could share, since they never went birdwatching together anymore or didn't have anything to talk about besides his grades or future or a regular 'how is everything going?' talk they had once three weeks.

the short answer is, he was good. not exceptionally, his pockets' weren't flooding with talent, but good. he's gotten a few awards.

he kicked serious ass in both practices and matches but he downplays it everytime. he would try to change the topic whenever losers brought it up
