This is not something I ever expected to have any insight into - but I have renewed admiration for those of you amongst us who are parents. Babysitting is quite exhausting.

It is, however, also rather fun.

	'Fun and exhausting' is an accurate description. It is also profoundly rewarding in ways I could not have anticipated before becoming a parent. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I can imagine it would be, yes. […] I do not think I was aware you had children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It sounds as though you already have a better understanding than most. My son isn't here, nor would I wish him to be. But I think of him often all the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have been fortunate, I think, to be able to observe how rewarding it is. Even if the experience is only mine by proxy. Perhaps, you might tell me about him? If I am to regale you with tales of Asgard, I think it only fair you return the favour. […] Unless that might be painful for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Before my son was born, I would have insisted I had no interest in the experience. You may yet choose to have children of your own. You are very perceptive. [...] I will think on it. It has been a long time since I've spoken of him to anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've always enjoyed babysitting. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	It’s a rather new experience for me. Well, unless you count getting clambered on by Volstagg’s army of offspring. That rather felt more like they were sitting on me though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least it doesn't sound like an unpleasant one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	Definitely not an unpleasant one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	butwewill 2022-09-29 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad to hear it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's fun about it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	A number of things. But I suspect you may have enjoyed the impromptu lesson in swordplay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	techsavvy 2022-09-29 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Probably. How'd it go? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Most impressive for a first lesson. I could certainly make warriors out of them both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We should give them a demonstration. Could be informative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought about kids once, but it was a 5 second dream I think. I don't know if I'm cut out for it. Babysitting a squad of grown adults was too much for me sometimes. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I know that feeling all too well. In that respect, I suppose I have done a great deal more babysitting than I first thought, with regards to my brothers in arms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decisions 2022-09-29 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Watching the many ways they all got themselves into trouble made me question whether or not I could keep a kid out of some. It's almost impressive how quickly a group of soldiers can get in over their head in a bar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	I quite agree. I could not begin to count the number of times I had to bail them out of trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd think after the third time, I would have left them in it so they would learn their lesson and yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would rather sling coffee at angry mombies than babysit, not gonna lie. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	I do not know what that is. How was your dinner with the Starks? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifigureditout 2022-09-29 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	The coffee or the mombie? ~~I got blindsided. It was a 'meet the parents.'~~ It was [...] definitely not what I was expecting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	asgardsdottir 2022-09-29 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	The mombie. I rather like coffee. How so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifigureditout 2022-09-29 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. It's a portmanteau of mom and zombie - the shuffling, bleary-eyed, half awake monstrosities that try to take your head off if you're not quick enough with their caffeine. Nicer. Really normal. Which sounds weird to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
