Ok. Timeout. Parenting issues aside and custody issues aside. Back to Operation Cobra. We can deal with Operation Single Mom v. Married Mom and Operation Birth Mom v. Adoptive Mom another time. What till they actually have a custody battle and we’ll revisit this. Right now everyone in Storybrooke does not know who they are so the last thing on their minds is who gets what rather who am I?
Lol – well said.
My only comment is Lana Parrilla has said that Regina does indeed love Henry- I think its much like the other things Regina/EQ loves tho, if it comes down to her perceived happiness, her love will come off 2nd best.Jennifer Morrison has stated that Emma stayed in SB because the thought that she made the wrong decision by/for Henry is killing her & she couldnt leave until she knows he is safe & happy.
Personally i dont think she’s ready to be a full on parent just yet- but oats, how many 28yr olds who dont have kids let-a-lone have had 0 ties to family nor children most her life, are ready to be parents right off the bat, even 1st time parents dont get it right, right away either- parenting can & usually is a, it takes time & practice thing for most 🙂
I do think we are seeing Emma slowly become more parent like as the season has gone on. 🙂 (Henry’s lone adventures i dont really think can be held against Regina to much, as after all SB was frozen in time with 0 visitors for the last 28yrs, which pretty much rules out kidnap, stranger danger & typical modern-day concerns for kids out alone at any time – in NZ we still have places where kids & teens still walk home at night in the dark by themselves, sure its no longer common & becoming less, less as crime etc increases but it does happen, same with kids walking up to the local ‘shopping center’ – which looks much like SB’s lol- alone).
You can tell that Henry comes from Emma who comes from snow and Charming. It does not take much to please him. He just wants to love feel it back, as Emma does that is why those are the same peas in the pot. Gold said in earlier episodes to Regina, “I saw them walking down the street together thick as thieves.” In a lot of ways Emma and Mary Margaret have that too. Rewatch the frist three episodes whenever they see each other, especially the first time; the look in MM’s eyes. That look I’m refering to in the next 2 episodes happens almost everytime they see each other until they starting living together. Which reminds me of that scene where Emma asks if her spare room was still available that is like a typical mother daughter moment. A daughter who has not scene her mother in years knocks on a door and asks if she can stay with her. The way MM answered is almost the same as a mother would.
