#he'd be such a sucker when his kids get all emotional lbr

Not asking for spoilers😭 but how do you think John would react to the kiddo’s teenage angst and attitudes? Is he more of a logical or emotional responder to the kid’s problems? Or how would he TRY to act? Sorry just love hearing about dad John💗

i absolutely love talking about dad john so ask me anything!

i honestly think john is going to be the more logical parent, though he can be more emotional at times too. if it's anything like bullying or teachers/grades, john is definitely the more emotional one, like he wants to go to the school and talk to the principal or talk to the kid's parents. but i think when it comes to other things, i think he'll be more logical. i can see ronan wanting something and john is totally on board but reader is like "uh, not sure" and john is like come onnnn. i definitely see him trying to persuade her a lot so ronan can get her way (which she most likely will for a while since she's the only child). i think he'll figure out a nice balance though. he just doesn't want his kids to dislike him or be scared of him. everyone's been scared of him and he doesn't want his babies to ever be scared of him (he's a big teddy bear, so they won't be. and he's a SUCKER for his kiddos).

john would definitely shut down any backtalk or disrespect towards reader. i don't think ronan would be like that and talk back (lbr she probably will at some point), but if she ever did, john would definitely not tolerate that. teens can be pretty moody and mean sometimes, so i can see him putting his foot down when they get a little out of line, but he'd definitely go apologize after for raising his voice too. i think the first time it happens though, he'll be completely blindsided lmao. i think he'll probably just be so shocked and not even know what to say. again, he'll find his balance eventually but at the end of the day we all know he's a really really good dad!

Ok but can you imagine ed when his kids go through that separation anxiety phase like he and winry will be trying to go out somewhere and the poor bby will be in tears and Winry will be nudging ed out the door all "he'll be fine, ed, if we don't go now we'll be late" but ed just can't bring himself to leave the kid with the babysitter and crying like that and they eventually get away but he's lowkey kinda mopey the whole way there and Winry has to cheer him up
