His relationship with Emma has gotten stronger and I appreciate that Charming doesn’t try to force a family bond on her, but rather lets Emma come to him. Emma is more like Charming than Snow so it’s natural that they bond.I think that his relationship with Emma got stronger BECAUSE he doesn’t try to force it on her. Unlike Snow, he understands that Emma has to let her walls down on her own and can’t push her to do so. Every time he feels that Emma might need support or advice he is there for her but first of all, he’s more subtle than Snow when doing so and secondly, he only offers help when Emma really needs it and doesn’t smother her with attention and well meant but unwanted parental advice.Unfortunately, Charming became a bit of a hen-pecked husband in S2 and S3 and had to take the backseat until 3B when Snow had to slow down a bit due to her pregnancy.[adrotate group="5"]

I agree with your interpretation. Charming, since the beginning of S2, has understood that Emma should come to them not the other way around.
Unfortunately, Charming became a bit of a hen-pecked husband in S2 and S3 and had to take the backseat until 3B when Snow had to slow down a bit due to her pregnancy.
Now that GG’s given birth, I think Charming might return to the “hen-pecked” husband role, if by midseason since I don’t know how soon GG can return to the rigors of the job.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"How do you think Charming’s and Snow’s parenting styles differ and how do you think it would affect the new baby’s upbringing? Do you think Snow might be jealous of the relationship Charming and Emma have and instead throw herself into raising Neal the way she wants to?

It’s hard to say since the only parenting we’ve seen is to a 28 yr old. We’ve never seen them parent from start to finish.
However, I’d say that Snow is going to be a very protective mother bear. She is the type of mother who must know where her child is at all time, who they are with, and what they are doing. She’s not very lax about these things. It comes from being in constant danger most of her life, so I can’t fault her too much. But I do think she’s clingy and baby Prince Neal is about to experience that.
Charming is more free. He’ll let the Prince go out on his own and explore the town. He’ll give him responsibilities and expect Neal to do them. Charming is going to “the cool dad” while Snow becomes the overly protective Soccer Mom who can’t be “hip.”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I agree. On the other hand, since Charming gets to really experience this time seeing his baby grow up and experience all the wonderful ‘firsts’ parents get to experience, maybe he won’t be quite as laid back definitely not as clingly as Snow would.
What do you guys hope for Prince Charming in S4? Do you want him to have more or less time with Snow?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I hope Charming isn’t so attached to Snow’s hip in season 4. He needs to be fleshed out as a character in his own right rather than as just an extension of Snow’s.

AKA: tell me who is father is!!!! (This bothers me to an absurd extent—it’s Emma’s other grandparent. TELL ME)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Maybe Charming is Once’s version of Jesus?
In all seriousness though, if Charming’s dad was just a regular peasant, why haven’t they given us a name yet or said so through dialogue?

Keeper of FelixTo be honest, I’m not sure it’s really that important in the story to know who Charming’s father was. With Rumple, yes, it was completely understandable that he didn’t want to repeat his father’s mistakes with his son, and then Neal with Henry.
I doubt very much Charming’s biological father was anyone important. But that’s not to say, he couldn’t factor in at a later date if Adam and Eddie really wanted to delve into that history. Besides, I think Charming already dealt with his parenting issues in The Tower. So, I’m not sure how important it is to see his father next season.
