Describing emotionally distant parents? (For my book hehe)

Different Ways to Describe Emotionally Distant Parents

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

It was like they watched her grow up through a foggy window. Some days, they would wipe away the fog with a dirty rag or their hand and they would see each other clearly. Their eyes would meet. Maybe they would even smile and ask how her day was. Other days, the window was so fogged that she forgot they were even there on the other side.

He wasn't sure if he even considered them parents anymore. They were just adults that he lived with.

She didn't know why she even bothered. There was still a longing in her chest that yearned for attention or even an ounce of affection from them. It seemed like her heart would never give up when her mind had lost hope so long ago. Part of her knew they would never really care, but she held onto that hope like a lifeline.

He often wondered if they loved him. Because parents will always say that they do, but he swore he could see a different truth in their eyes. Parents lie to their kids all the time-- Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny-- so why would this be any different?

It physically pained her to not scream out, 'Why don't you love me?!' but she knew that she never would. She was afraid to hear the answer. What could they possibly say to make everything okay? Maybe they wouldn't try. She didn't want to hear the truth.

He couldn't remember the last time they celebrated his birthday. Probably when he was young, when his parents still loved each other and they still loved him.

She told herself everyday that they were just busy. That's why they didn't spend time with her. They had very important things to do. More important things than her.

They smiled. They told her they loved her. They hugged her. But it all felt like an act. As if they believed it was just something they were meant to do and they didn't have to mean it.

Pregnancy/Family OTP Prompts

(mentions of abortion, religious abuse, teen pregnancy)

Scenarios:

A waking up at 5 AM riddled with morning sickness. B being woken up by them and following them to hold their hair back and help clean themselves us afterwards. (bonus if they reassure them and that they're not disgusting. not even a bonus, should be the bare minimum)

"You know what would be bomb right now?" "What?" "Strawberries and cream cheese, right? Then, like, cover them in hot Cheeto dust." A looks at B with a look of mild disgust and confusion, but then remembers that it's just a weird, weird pregnancy craving. A goes to the store to get them because whatever B wants, B gets.

B was rather envious of A's natural parental instincts. The way they got the baby to giggle and coo so effortlessly. The way they could rock them to sleep within minutes. The way they could feed them without any hiccups and the way they could change diapers in a flash. One day, A had to leave for a few hours, leaving B alone with the baby. When they returned, A found the house a mess. Food splattered across the kitchen, toys and blocks strewn across the house, and B, on the verge of tears, trying to calm the screaming baby. After cleaning up the mess, A lets B talk about their frustrations and insecurities, reassuring them that they're an amazing parent.

Cooking/baking something together and B accidentally measures incorrectly and A has to correct them. Due to B's heightened emotions, they start crying and A has to comfort them.

Getting corny shirts for B like "waiting on player 3" or "beauty and the bump".

Watching an usually stoic and mean B coddle and play with their new baby, admiring how soft and nurturing they could be.

After a long day of walking and being on their feet, A is finally home and able to relax. What they didn't expect is was B to have their most recent craving prepared for them, a warm bubble bath ran, and their favorite TV series set up with B massaging their feet. It was at this moment where they realized just how lucky they were to be B's partner.

Wearing matching costumes for holidays.

They were both only 17. They couldn't raise a baby. They weren't ready for it. They planned to hide it until they got enough money for an abortion until A's overly religious parents realize they've been sick for a little too long. Now they were forced to raise it.

A being extremely overprotective of A due to their pregnancy. B always complains about it but secretly loves it.

B having to set limits and hide the coffee maker during A's pregnancy because although A denies it, they're no better than a drug addict when it comes to coffee.

^ Alternately: A is an avid coffee drinker who literally can't function without a cup of coffee each morning. B hates coffee, and the adversity only grew when they got pregnant. It got so bad that even the smell of it would have B throwing up once again.

A's water breaks and B is panicking. You'd think B was the one giving birth the way they kept pacing back and forth. A remains calm through their contractions and labour pains since they can't both be freaking out in the delivery room. Something snaps inside of B when they notice A forcing themselves to smile and joke through the intense pain they were going through to try and calm A down.

A got home from a long, exhausting day at work to find B sitting on the floor by the door asleep. A puts up their things before picking up B and carrying them, waking them up. "Oh, you're home. I was waiting for you but I guess I fell asleep and- Wait, how are you holding me? Aren't I too heavy?" "Of course not, love. No weight is "too heavy" when it comes to you."

The severity of the situation didn't hit A until they saw the nursery, the one that B had been protecting and hiding from them for months. B had uncovered their eyes and awaited their reaction. What they didn't expect was full-on tears, tears of fear, uncertainty, and joy. They were having a baby together. They were going to start a family together.

Dialogues:

"S/he gets their looks from you, definitely." "Is that a good thing or bad thing?" "No comment."

"[name], I have something to tell you but I'm not sure how you'll react and I don't want you to be mad and-" "Hey, it's okay, just spit it out." "Well . . . we're having a baby."

"I'm not sure if I can hide this pregnancy any longer." "I'm surprised you still can, to be honest. You look like you're smuggling a small watermelon under there."

"What?! You're pregnant??? You can't be, we're only 17!"

"You said heartbeats? Plural? As in more than one?"

"The baby's kicking! You wanna feel?"

"Look how tiny her/his feet are!"

"We need a break." "It's only been a week since they were born." "Neither of us have showered, had a full meal, nor slept since we came home." "Maybe we could use a couple of hours to ourselves."

"I believe in you, you can do this- we can do this."

"I'm having a big-ass drink after this baby born, I hope you know that."

"It's almost like you're glowing." "I don't know what the fuck you're seeing, but it is definitely not a glow. "

"You're going to be an amazing mother/father, I just feel it."

"I've never seen clothes/shoes this small before!"

"I'm not going to shatter into tiny pieces if I pick up a box. I'm not fragile, I'm pregnant." "There's a difference?"

"I still love you, [name], all of you. Stretch marks, spit-up covered shirts and all."

"It's like their fist-fighting my fucking uterus." "At least they'll be strong, just like daddy." "They'll also be all brawn and no brain, if we're going by that."

"Just a few more weeks, you can do it." "I'm not so sure."

"We should name them [really weird and absurd name]." "How about we not do that?"

"Do you know who the father is?" "No, but they kind of look like [ex], don't they?"

"Do you think we can do this? Raise a kid?" "I mean, look at us, we can barely take care of ourselves. We might not be the best at it, but we can definitely do it together." "You're so cheesy, it's sickening. Speaking of sickness, excuse me for a moment."

Could you please do some family fluff type dialogue prompts?

Hi, I can definitely try :) Apologies it's taking me so long, inspiration is running low :/

Family fluff

Parents teaching their kids to cook. Insert a lot of mess and flour but also a ton of fun.

Family evenings spent huddled on the couch while watching TV.

Water gun fight in summer.

Parent A assuring the other adult B they can take care of the kids while A is at work. B comes back home to a giant blanket fort created in the living room.

The siblings squabble and playfully insult each other all the time, but once someone else does it, oh boy they are after their throats.

The parents watching their kid(s) play in the garden.

Board games!

Parent hugging their kid after they notice the kid is severely distressed/crying, reassuring them everything is going to be alright.

The teenage kid preparing their parent's favourite food as an apology for the recent argument.

The kids surprise their parent on Father/Mother's day with breakfast in bed and handmade gifts.

I hope these do well for you :)

1. “I trust you.”

2. “You always bring me joy.”

3. “You’re one of the best people I know.”

4. “I’ll always be here for you, no matter what.”

5. “I just want you to be happy.”

9. Constant touching (hugs)

Hi erm is there anyway you could make prompts for a kid meeting their parental figure after the parental figure left them? If that makes sense.

Prompts for Meeting a Parent After Abandonment

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

He stared at the woman standing before him, her arms spread wide as if she were expecting a hug. "Who are you?" he asked her, tilting his head to the side and furrowing his brows. The woman frowned. "I'm your mom."

"You are not my mother," she spat. "My mother, is the woman who raised me. The woman who was there for me. You are the furthest thing from a mother."

They were trembling. They tried to steady their racing heart as they stood up to their father. "You left me," they said, hating the way their voice sounded. "You abandoned me."

"I was just a kid! How could you have done that? Don't you feel guilty?"

He recognized them immediately. They looked the exact same as they did when they left him on the doorstep of [Guardian]'s home all those years ago. Seeing them again, unchanged and unaffected by what happened, made his blood boil.

"I missed you," they sobbed, wrapping their mother into a tight hug. They had imagined this meeting for years. They had expected to be angry, to yell in her face and demand why she had left them. But now that she was here, they only felt overwhelming relief.

Her father was older now, with gray hair and wrinkles. Seeing him so drastically different from the young man she remembered made her skin crawl. She wondered if he was experiencing something similar, now that he saw she wasn't a little girl anymore.

They hated her. They hated her for what she did to them and they didn't think they could ever forgive her.

After all these years, his mother decided to show up and barge back into his life as if she hadn't left.

"Please, don't ever leave me again. Please, don't leave."

some sibling rivalry prompts

thank you for this beautiful ask :) <3 i tried to make this as accurate as possible as someone with siblings. feel free to use.

baiting them into asking them more questions and it working

^like “yeah… that one question is really hard. it took forever to get the answer…. but i’m glad i did…. sigh. anyway…” “………………. which question?”

“if you come into my room one more them i’m literally going to beat you up.”

“have you seen my notes?” “why would i steal your notes when i’m literally smarter than you.”

“it’s exhausting being around you.” “do you mean that?” “stop making me feel bad omg. fine i take it back.”

“i’m gonna kill you.” “MOM!”

one sibling whose love language is touch and words of affirmation and the other literally cringes at touch

“i love you, you know.” “blegh.” and the other one is holding their collar aggressively like “SAY IT BACK.”

“i always felt like i was being compared to you, you know? i thought i needed to be better.”

older x younger sibling

^ the older one always like “grow up” and the younger is like “you’re literally pushing retirement please leave me alone.”

“i am not your competition.” “then why are you acting like it?”

and i’d like to add that siblings are siblings no matter how old. there no expiration date for tattling and being immature when it comes to sibling bonds

when they finally grow and mature in a sense that they can communicate way better and talk things out

PSA to everyone writing siblings; no one refers to their siblings as “big bro/little bro.” please don’t do it.
