do you ever just think about the dads being girl dads first? because I do constantly
More thoughts about them and the dads under the cut
Ron as a girl dad
has absolutely zero idea how to interact with her
his early attempts to bond with her came across so awkwardly that it factored into terry jr hating him even more
he thinks that she could be a great businesswoman
she baked him a cake for his first birthday with them after he married samantha and he was so happy he didn’t eat it
Lauren
is a theater kid and has a great singing voice
loves make up and does cute styles for the whole cheer squad on game days
honestly started worrying for her mom after she told her that she met a guy on pet finder, she figured it was a cover story for her mom wanting to start dating again
she started taking part in more and more clubs/activities at school after her dad passed so that she would have less time to think about that
Henry as a girl dad
was thrilled to be having a baby girl, despite how much he also insists healthy is all that is important to him
calls her princesa
has a weird internal conflict about calling her beautiful like he calls his boys, because he doesn’t want to equate her physical appearance with her value as a person, but he also doesn’t want to exclude her or make her feel not beautiful
tries his hardest to raise his kids in non-gender specific ways while still respecting the things that they choose to like even if they are very traditionally gendered things
Dove
most likely to grow up into a nudist/takes advantage of the oak-garcia’s clothing optional household policy
is eerily like Barry at times in a way that unsettled Henry and he never understood why
she has, on more than one occasion, failed to turn in homework because the family goat ate it
she isn’t really allowed to babysit her brothers because she won’t do anything to stop them from getting into trouble, in fact, she encourages them
Darryl as a girl dad
would have thought he wanted a boy first, someone to throw a ball around with, but he was immediately crying over the idea of someday walking his little girl down the aisle the second they found out the gender
cried every time he saw how little the baby clothes were, the little dresses broke him
he also grew up with an older sister so it made sense for him to have a girl first then a boy
he is the kind of dad who thinks his daughter shouldn’t date until shes 30, but hes also trying to be more progressive about that
Grace
Grace is actually her middle name (Cassandra Grace Wilson)
tootsie pops are her favorite candy, they are her charleston chews, and like darryl she has an addiciton to sweets which leads to body image issues
she loves sports, mostly because she likes to watch them with her dad, they have a whole routine to game days and have hardcore superstitions
she drives a red vw beetle that she got for her 16th birthday (which caused a minor arguement between Darryl and Carol)
Glenn as a girl dad
was just happy to have a little buddy around, hes raising rockstars not boys or girls
was convinced she was throwing up the devil horns in her first ultrasound
subscribed hard to the idea that music is good for babies in utero and played for morgans tummy all the time
he practiced learning to braid/style girls hair on morgan so he could do his kids hair someday (morgan would braid his hair in return so she could practice too)
Stevie
was near prodigy level of piano player, but she stopped lessons after her mom passed
cuts her own hair (with Glenn’s help to clip the back)
first name is actually Stephanie but its only ever used by Glenn to tease her (she insists he can’t make fun of the name that he chose)
she does most of the cooking and cleaning for their household but hates putting away laundry so she, glenn, and nick tend to share a lot of clothes
bonus THOTS thought:
i share custody of these girls with @umbreonxespeon
we call them thots because we got lazy with asking for ‘thoughts’ while trying to create the girls
The Harbingers Of Teen Spirit
none of the girls are straight
