thinkin about,,,, dew n her parents
SO. Dew. Jack’s (whom belongs to Rox) girlfriend-turned-baby-mama. She very certainly is something. I can’t imagine her growing up poor, but I also don’t think she was “rich” by any means. Maybe a nice middle/upper middle class— just enough to where she had nice things and has come to expect them.
She. LOVES. Things. She’s very materialistic. She doesn’t WEAR much jewelry 99% of the time, but she definitely loves having it. She likes her stuff to be Big and Shiny and New— and Expensive. And that’s definitely carried over into her adulthood. Except instead of getting presents from her dad, she gets them from men she either uses for their money or actively steals from them! <3 She is SO perfect.
ANYWAY, onto her parents! I don’t remember their names or even if I gave them any, so I’ll just call ‘em Mom and Dad, I guess.
So, like a lot of families, Dew’s parents took on the good cop bad cop trope. Mom, likely unexpectedly, being the bad cop, and Dad being the good cop. Because of this, Dew is a HUGE daddy’s girl, to where to this day she probably calls them Mom and Daddy (/nsx.)
Dad is very laid back. He’s a little goofy, he’s a little clumsy, etc. He’s definitely the guy you wanna go to first when you do something wrong. He’s the “don’t tell mom” type of dad, usually— BUT he does have the decency to keep her in the loop if things are too important to keep a secret. He loves his kids and he doesn’t want them to be punished, but he loves his wife, too!
Mom, on the other hand, has to take care of almost all discipline in the house. She’s been sorta forced into that role, since without her acting like that, nothing would get done. They’d all just be playing games and watching TV and never doing their homework because Dad doesn’t like to be the bad guy. So she’s had to be the bad guy. Does she like it? Absolutely not! She wishes she could be the fun parent sometimes. She wants her kids to adore her like they adore their father (though she definitely babies Bryce, Dew’s younger brother, quite a bit— probably subconsciously to make up for having to be the stickler and because she wants that same love from her kids). But the joke’s on her, they DO love and respect her a lot! It’s clear to see how much effort she puts into the family and they try to let her know that all her work isn’t going unnoticed— though they can’t just say it out loud like that, that’d be too weird and sappy!
I DUNNO!!!! I love their family a lot…. (:
Also: when Mom gets mad, she calls Dew “Dee Dee.” Wanna know why? That’s her real name! She just goes by Dew— partially because she’s a little embarrassed by Dee Dee being her name, and partially because I think Dad calls her his little dew drop…. 🥺💖
