#so i just didn't have clean clothes from like 8-13 or whatever b4 getting kicked out + moving in w my mum lol

on that note actually.

smth i think abt a lot is how much of the routine tasks in the afton household were taken on by the kids too early vs how much just didn't get done?

in neglect situations, both of these things can happen. there's how much the kids were actually taught, how much they managed to figure out, and how much was lost.

i feel like there were some things they'd have to know to avoid punishment, but there are definitely skills they just wouldn't have. for example, i don't think mike was given or taught about any important documentation (passport, birth certificate, id, might not have had the chance to get a license, etc) as he got old enough to be in charge of it, but i'm not sure what else they would have missed vs actually learned.

#i think they would know how to clean the house bc of how it looks when we see it #and it's implied that they know how to do laundry in the weird ninja sequence #but like personal example #i was expected to do my own laundry without being taught when i lived w my dad #so i just didn't have clean clothes from like 8-13 or whatever b4 getting kicked out + moving in w my mum lol #anywayyyy #i like the idea of writing the afton kids reparenting themselves #or if they have the luxury of it getting some outside reparenting from an actual competent mentor #i guess i just don't know where to start lol #fnaf #michael afton #afton siblings #afton kids #william afton #kinda sorta #elizabeth afton #cc afton #evan afton #cw abuse #cw neglect
