    I just don’t think that Regina’s issue is that she doesn’t have time. I honestly don’t think she cares about spending time with Henry. She is the Evil Queen. She is a bit insane. She is a mass murderer. There is just nothing about this situation that is normal to me and while if it is was a real situation i would agree with you that certainly consistency, keeping a roof over their head, feeding, making sure he does his homework, all of those things are good and of value and if we take Regina just as she is in Storybrooke then sure she should keep custody, but Regina is the Evil Queen. She is that other person who has done all of those horrible things.

    I do think though the reason that Emma does not “have” to do those things with Henry like feeding, homework is because she doesn’t have custody and not because she doesn’t want to do them. I think she wants to do them very much, but does not have the opportunity. She even said in Ep 9 that the only reason she doesn’t have Henry is because she can’t.

    And about where Henry is, i think i see the opposite. Regina freaks out when she finds out he is with Emma, but most of the time it doesn’t seem like she really cares where he is. He is wandering around at night. She leaves him alone all the time. And he is only ten. Ten is still very young to me. I just can’t believe she does that as much as she does. And i know she is a working mother, but him just wandering around at night all time seems bizarre. And maybe Regina isn’t aware of how much Henry is doing that, but maybe she should be at home and be a bit more aware. We know she isn’t working at night so where is she and why is she not more aware of what he is up to.

    Though really when it comes down to it things like Regina murdered Graham. This is not a safe situation. If Regina ever found out that Henry was Snow’s grandson what would she do. Those are my biggest issues with Regina. I have no issue with her yelling at him for leaving his shoes on the steps, but the fact that she is a bit insane and he is the grandson of the woman Regina is trying to torture and ruin pretty much makes me think get that kid out of there before Regina finds out.

    I have two brothers and a sister. I never played with my parents either. My parents are a bit on the crazy side and i won’t pretend that does not color my thoughts on this matter. My family did not have many rules and that is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. The only thing i would consider abusive that Regina has done is when she grabbed him by the arm and yanked him. I don’t think that is okay to do ever to a child unless they are running into the street or something. That is just my feeling on the matter.

    I just want to say that by my saying that i think Regina, the Evil Queen, should lose custody of Henry does not mean that if there was a normal non murdering sane woman who was strict like Regina i would not think she should lose custody. Though i do think she is damaging Henry by being so cruel and mean to him and by being unable to connect, but in the real world that would just make her not a very good parent and not necessarily that she should lose custody. Though the reason she cannot connect comes back to the fact that she is an insane murderer who has cursed everyone in her world in an attempt ruin their lives.

    I love Narnia too. It is still under copyright though so they would have to work something out. I am also now sure if it would work, but that is just because i love it so much. I totally thought of the Wood Between Worlds and the pools when they were in the hat too.

    There was even a scene in Ep 15 where Henry wanted to get a bunch of junk food from the diner and Emma said no. I think that Emma acts like a mother to Henry. I think that people should still be playful with their children. Talk to them like people. I think the biggest reason why Emma can’t parent Henry properly is because she doesn’t have custody. She doesn’t have any real say. Like it is a little strange that Henry is walking around town at night by himself and Regina doesn’t even seem to notice that whereas i think Emma would notice it. It reminds me of two parents who are split up, but one has full time custody. Regina and Emma don’t get along so they fight over Henry. And Regina has custody so she is the one with the authority to make the calls though at the same time she seems completely neglectful never being aware of where Henry really is.

    I do think parenting is very difficult. No one is perfect at it, but i think the fact that Emma cares, really cares about what is best for Henry and Regina doesn’t seem to care even enough to be aware of where he is and is willing to hurt him to prove that she has the control in the situation is enough for me. And maybe not in the court of law, but in the court of show law should Emma have custody that is enough for me.

    I think i just know too many kids that grew up in bad split homes or bad adopted homes or got shipped around to different foster homes. It is not an easy thing.

    I can’t imagine they would do Shakespeare, but they might have those character names in passing. Like having Pongo be the dalmatian. I don’t think they are ever going to do 101 Dalmatians, but i think it is a good passing reference.

    Emma to believe for starts though she may believe sooner then the finale. I went Emma to get Henry though i think that is very unlikely. I like all your answers.

    No worries. I just don’t understand why thinking Rumpel is evil seems like such an off the wall theory especially because it seems like all the characters on the show think he is evil. Isn’t that the implication? I don’t want to argue, but no worries. All good on my part.

    I really think that Snow and Charming could have gotten married between 3 and 5 years Before Curse. I know we don’t know, but everyone can’t just be pregnant right away. And it seemed like Snow and Charming were married and Cinderella’s wedding. We don’t really know though. I guess for now that is the best guess. I keep thinking that next year they are going to fill in the gap from the time of Snow in the glass coffin till the Snow and Charming get control of King George’s castle. Though it may be that Snow and Charming will take that castle before the season is out when Snow attacks with the dwarfs to get Charming out of jail. Sounds like fun.

    I don’t think so. Rumpel may be possessed by a dark power, but i think they are implying that he can still control it and be good like in Skin Deep with Belle though that did not end well. We need more information. Everyone can like Rumpel and think that he is good and i am fine with that. I am going to like him and think he is evil and be fine with that. And i am not sure what you mean by the laughing icons so that is all i have to say. Thanks for your thoughts.

    I really don’t hate Rumpel. I like the character a lot. I don’t think he is a good at all. I don’t know why that has to mean that i hate him as a character. I don’t get how anyone can think the character is good and know i am totally wasting my breath as well.

    Maybe Rumpel did change his mind after Belle “died”. They just need to show more of that. With Regina they have been hinting all along what Snow did that made her start to go to the evil side. With Rumpel i have no idea. It almost seems like he can still control himself when he is the dark one. Though if he can’t help but make deals then that could be why he is doing all this evil stuff even though he seems to be in control because maybe he isn’t. They just need to explain it a bit more because right now it doesn’t make sense.

    That is very true. Emma’s judgement has been suspect as of late. I think that with the deleted scene where August finds Emma with Mary at Jefferson’s house and he takes Mary back to the jail before Regina can show up it would make more sense that Emma would let him help by going to the crime scene. It still works though.
