how do you think mafiafell sans would parent? like say he adopted a kid in present times, would he struggle?

awh......

I think Mafiafell Sans would struggle, for sure. As mentioned before, his greatest fear is scaring his family, but especially his child. Mc knows him- she knows his past and his problems, she'll understand if he loses his temper but quickly apologises. A child? No such luck. He was raised in an era (and by a father) with sparse love, and a lot of cruel and unusual 'discipline'... he didn't end up in his current career path because of an abundance of hugs. He's terrified of his kid being afraid of him.

As a parent, I think he'd be very caring, he's eager to give the attention and affection he never received. His drive to be involved with his family makes him fun and silly. He's the right mix of protective, and willing to let his kids learn- his own consistent brushes with danger have made him good at judging what's a learning experience and what's truly dangerous. But I think he'd be very restrained with himself. He doesn't talk about his own emotions, he never raises his voice above a certain level- his temper issues mean it's very normal for dad to disappear to his room for a few minutes. His kids will love him for sure... but they might get to a certain age and realise they know absolutely nothing about him.

Having a partner who understands him would be excellent, here. Someone who can take over when they see the signs; give him the room to step away.
