roxyHere's things I'm discovering as I read my way through a shit-ton of J2.
Some of this kid fic is pretty darn good, some of those kids I ended up liking pretty well. I would name names but I never remember a fucking thing--title or author. (There was this really great story not a J2 that I lost track of, with Sam and his daughter by Ruby, I think--if this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know who it is. I'm sure I'll be horribly embarrassed to find out who wrote it, but embarrassment is my middle name. Yes, it's hell filling out legal forms...)
But I digress! Kidfic, yes. Say, some of these people who write this kidfic--have they ever actually interacted with a child? Spent longer than a half hour taking care of a child? And if you actually deal with your kids the way folks deal with their kids in these stories, then shit. Ya'll are some patient motherfuckers.

respecting your rant
7/7/10 07:14 am (UTC)Those people are doing their kids no favors by not setting them limits. They're lazy. Sure, nothing sucks more than having to be the bad guy to your kid, but that's part of the job, you know? It's hard work, making them sit, be quiet, pay attention, explain that mom&dad love you but the people sitting behind us just want you to sit the fuck down and shut the hell up. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Just 'cause I love my kid doesn't mean anyone else has to. ;)
