So, I'm doing my traditional pre-new Outlander season rewatch, where I watch from Season One to the Season before the new one is going to air.
Just finished Episode Seven of Season Three and something has deeply bothered me. -- When Claire gives Jamie issue for not telling Elder Ian that Young Ian is with him in Edinburgh. That he didn't understand what it was like to be a worried parent.
Now, I understand Claire's point, he should have told Ian. But, in truth, I find a bit cruel of her to say.
Jamie does understand what it's like to be a worried parent. Perhaps not like she does, getting to raise Brianna. But Jamie was a parent worried about a daughter, and a son in William, that can't have a hand in helping or watching his children's lives be shaped. He was a worried parent not knowing what happened to his and Claire's child once she vanished through the stones.
Did she and the baby make it through the stones safely?
Did she get back to her own time, and not some other random time?
Did Frank take her back and was he good to a barn that was conceived with his wife's, other husband 200yrs before?
Did Claire have the baby, or did she miscarry again, like she had with Faith?
It annoys me further, his own sister, Jenny, rubs something of the same in Jamie's face in the next episode, after he suggests a different punishment for Young Ian running off. Asking if Jamie is "an expert on raising barns now?"
I'd say, out of all of them, James Alexander Malcom MacKenzie Fraser, has the most experience and is the expert at being a worried parent for his children.

I don't understand why Bri and Roger didn't go back in time once they got the A-Okay that Mandy was going to be alright.
They kept their clothes. I wouldn't have been hard to make something for Mandy to wear if she was bigger than an infant. They knew where to find Gems. They know where both stone circles are. They talk about how much they miss Claire and Jamie. Jemmy obviously fucking misses them.
I don't... understand
