Who’s the one to wake up the kids: rufio gets them up and dressed while eileen throws together breakfast. they’re a pretty well-oiled machine in the mornings after knowing each other for so long
Who makes breakfast: again-- eileen. she’s softer. and when the kids ask for 5 more minutes she lets them sleep in while rufio just whisks them out of bed, so now she’s in charge of breakfast or they’ll be late.
Who’s the more discipline parent and who’s the more lenient one: rufio is definitely the disciplinarian. eileen has to soften him sometimes and the kids always hide behind her when they’re in trouble.
Who helps with the science fair: both of them. they always make time for family bonding.
Who does baby talk: eileen. she coos and spoils them while rufio watches fondly.
Who wakes up for midnight feedings: they take turns.
Who’s the one who always worries: both of them worry, but eileen is worse about it because of what happened to her.
Who picks up the kids early from school for some fun: eileen probably? only sometimes because schooling is important.
Who’s the competitive parent: rufio. he and ace show off their kids to each other.
Who kisses the ouches: eileen.
Who’s the sucker for the puppy eyes: both of them. eileen cracks quicker, but sometimes rufio gives in.
Who makes the “dad jokes”: neither. they have the other lost boys for that.
Who embarrasses their kid for fun: again-- the other lost boys. they travel as a pack to the kid’s school events and games and scream loudly from the seats.
Who’s the over protective one: both are pretty protective.
Who’s the “take a sweater!” parent: rufio is fussy about the kids being warm and fed and happy. eileen is more gentle and quiet about it.
