"Ace parenting their, chief!" : V

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 7:52 pm

Anyone else find it kind of funny that Constance Michele wants you to make sure you have suitable living conditions for the kids before you can adopt, and yet you can adopt a kid and raise them in a house full of (in my case) horrifying trophys like frostbite spiders and *shiver* Mudcrabs, an armory full of razor sharp, mostly enchanted weapons and daedric artifacts, and a safe chock full of drugs and stolen valuables?
Also, on that note, what kind of wing variations have y'all come up with?

I think it's even possible to move them into a home where your housecarl is either dead or MIA. If you're never home, the kids would raise themselves. Not very good parenting. Or parenting at all.

=( Bad parents..I'm planning to adopt that poor little girl in Whiterun. The one whos aunt and uncle kicked her out off the farm after her mom died cause they said she wasn't good for anything

I like having the Library, The Storage Room, and a cellar w/o any Devine worship stuff. I'm torn for my other wing. Bedroom or enchanters.

And I'm going to make Sofie my apprentice.

I think its good parenting to teach kids life isnt safe in the world of TES.

If they ever want to survive into advlthood they are going to have to learn how to handle a weapon.
A scary statue is nothing.

If it worries you, choose less horrifying decor, and don't leave weapons lying around. Problem solved.

"Daddy, what's this do?" *is waving the wabbajack around*

"Oh sweet arkay *dragonborn is crapping in his loincloth* listen, I want you to very carefully pu..." *ZAP*

"Daddy? Daddy where'd you go?"

"Mooooo"

Another typical day in the dragonborn household

Exactly, you can't wrap these kids in cotton wool. I send mine out to fight Ancient Dragons and Giants. Never done me any harm.

I'd like to see what happens if he gets a hold of Sanguines Rose or Mehrunes Razor.

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 5:32 pm

I wonder if it's possible to send the kid off to the Greybeards for training.

(I'm sure it's not, but it's a nice thought.)

I taught my kids the art of one handed weapons, and how to respect them. My steward Lydia and my new house carl Rayya also helped them understand weapons are not toys, so they dont play with my gear. Ysolda doesnt mind it at all that I gave them both dragonbone daggers, because they have respect for what they are.

I wouldnt want to. I respect them, but I dont agree that the thu'um is used for worship. Even for those who are not dragonborn, I think you should use it for whatever purpose you choose, long as that reason is good. I like them more than the blades though for sure. Arngeir's the man.

Greybeards? for training?

Why? So that when the kid becomes a teenager and that teenage angst causes them to Shout at you...

Just think of the amount of replacement doors you'd have to construct.

But dad, you use the thu'um to clean your room! Me: Son, I'm the dragonborn. The rules dont apply to me. (Trollface)

Bahaha all these Dragonborn dad jokes are great! I'm just wondering how my kids will take the news that I'm, in fact, a werewolf.

Kid: Well then Fus YOU, Dad!

*Dragonborn peels himself off of the back wall*

Dragonborn: Don't you shout at me in that tone of voice!

*Kid peels himself/herself off of the opposite wall*

Kid *crying*: I'm telling the Jarl that you're a child abuser!

*front door crashes in*

Guard: My Criminal-scum senses were tingling, who's going to jail for shouting their kid apart?

See? It just doesn't end well...

Odahviing: Is there a problem, guard?

Guard: :blink:

I'll just be going...

Dragonborn: Ok, now son, go to your room! Or I'll call Durnehviir too. Remember last time I did? Wanna go back to the soul cairn? Hmm?

Son: :cry:

See? It worked out in the end....

Fixed, and I win. lol

You can train your kids in certain weapons? I haven't actually gotten around to adopting yet cause I'm pretentious and don't wanna bring any kids into a house that isn't wholly and entirely furnished, including all weapon racks, mounted mudcrabs and other beasts, etc. The whole nine yards. But yeah anyway, can you train them to be magicians? Or even better yet, train them in a job. I'd get two little pauper kids and train them to be a duo of little thieves. Speaking of which, why aren't there any little homeless Khajiit wandering around? =( I bet Khajiit children are adorable.

Lol yeah a lot of people, myself included, tried. There's a whole thread about it. Shame on you Beth, for either not even thinking about him or just being d*cks and not letting us adopt the one homeless kid that was already in the game.

You cant train them, no. Thats my roleplay plot with them. You can give them daggers and wooden swords, so thats how I came up with that. Sorry to be misleading :tongue:
