how they’d be as parents ; haida & retsuko

fandom masterlist(s) ; here

character(s) ; haida, retsuko

outline ; “Idk if this counts at UCS since this is the first request for Aggretsuko, but could you do parenting headcanons for Haida and Retsuko?”

warning(s) ; none, just fluff!

these two are incredibly loving parents — the type who are unconditionally accepting, supportive and understanding no matter what because they aim to be the parents they needed growing up — but they can be a bit much some times (they are only people after all and nobody is perfect)

your mum insists on you finding a healthy outlet for your frustrations early on, teaching you the death metal scream and helping you find other methods to calm you down (whether that’s knitting/sewing, sports, music or something else)

your father, meanwhile, takes every opportunity to help you branch out creatively from you being young — pushing you to pursue any interests/hobbies and even teaching you to play the guitar if you want to learn

they’re generous with gifts and pocket money, but they’re sure not to spoil you; making sure early on that you understand that sometimes you won��t get what you want and sometimes you need to work to get the things you really desire in life — they teach the latter by giving you small jobs to do around the apartment (fetch some food, do some dusting/mopping, help mum/dad out with cooking, etc.)

haida has so many pictures of you in his wallet it’s frankly ridiculous — like he has one of the three of you when you were a baby and loads of you smiling and having fun

they’re always there to lend a helping hand with homework and to give you some aid with extracurriculars — even reaching out to friends and colleagues to give you a well rounded life and education from being extremely young

retsuko calls you ‘sweetheart’ and haida calls you ‘tiny’ — and yes you will always be ‘tiny’, yes even if you grow taller than him

they instil a very strict set of values in you growing up: be kind and respectful but don’t let others walk over you, give everything your all but don’t exhaust yourself to do it, it’s okay to try something and decide it’s not for you, it’s okay to fail and get things wrong, don’t let others shame you for the things you love, etc. etc.

things that took them years to learn and incorporate into their lives that they make sure you understand because they want you to learn from their mistakes — and, in turn, be able to make some new mistakes that you can learn from

you have plenty of loving aunts and uncles so having no contact with your father’s family doesn’t really impact you all that much — you’re surrounded by love and support and fun all of the time anyway so why bother

your first word was ‘mama’ and they both cried so much when you said it and, later on, you took your first steps to chase after your dad (which made him cry like a baby) — so your parents have no issues with arguing over who is the ‘favourite’

much like what her dad did for her, retsuko takes pictures for every major milestone of yours and keeps them safe (only putting copies up around the house): first steps, first day at school at every level, first partner, first holiday abroad, first sleepover and on and on it goes

you get perpetually spoiled by your parents’ friend tadano who is always happy to step in and help you pursue your interests and hobbies in ways that your parents might not quite be able to do

gori and ashimi are constantly fawning over you and asking your mother how you’re going — they call themselves your favourite aunties whenever they visit and they’re the first ones to volunteer their help with babysitting when your parents go out on a date

they’re eternally getting advice from ton — especially when you start to become a teenager, which actually ends up being incredibly useful so they get him a gift basket as their ‘thanks’
