Houses and rooms

Grey takes a seat on one of the many random chairs and settles his baby daughter in his lap

"Grey! Iva!" She's all smiles for them. "Oh, there's all kinds of things I bet Iva would enjoy."

[greyfireson]

He smiles at her. "Hello Ali. I know there are all kinds of things." He chuckles a little. "The problem isn't knowing where to start, but where to stop."

[vicioussweetie]

"When you run out of room, of course." She grins.

[greyfireson]

He laughs. "It's going to be a big house Ali, I'd like to stop a little before then."

Emma is.... huge, pregnant, not happy and looking cranky. She eyes a chair and decides that is too much effort. At least for now.

Leaning against the wall, she took a drink of the bottled water she carried.

"I had everything. Some of it handed down, the rest gifts. A canopy bed, toys, clothes, the whole nine yard. Everything but the love and acceptance of my parents. That is the most importance thing you can give her. The rest? Means nothing."

[greyfireson]

He nods. "That she has already. And she will never lose that or doubt it if I have my choice.

But what is it you would not give a child? What would be... over the top, I think the phrase is?"

[icy_bitch]

She laughs. "Pink. Don't turn her room into some bubblegum haven. No clowns. Oh, and nature. Put nature in there. For now Lillian is sharing a room with me so there's not so much I can do."

[greyfireson]

He smiles. "I was already planning to limit the use of pink, and I do not understand why people think clowns are meant for children.

How would you put nature in a child's room?"

[elementwizard]

"My sister was in my room as a child. We had to share space," he smiles a little.

[greyfireson]

He smiles. "I had to share with my brother and sister. But having your own room if you still had siblings at home was unheard-of. Of the things I had in my room as a child, they were probably the most interesting and amusing."

[elementwizard]

"Yes, I could definately agree with that one. My sister definately made things interesting. We didn't have much really, just our beds a chest for clothes and a few toys."

[greyfireson]

"That is close to what my siblings and I had. I'm told it's normal for children to have their own computers and televisions and such things today, even every young ones."

[chimera_slayer]

"I had quite a few action figures, my bed, a dresser, my drums. I loved my room."

[greyfireson]

"If you had a child, would you want to give them those things you had, or would you want to give them more than that?"

[chimera_slayer]

"I was happy with what I had. My parents were sure to make sure I had things to play with but also to expand my creativity. Hence the drums. I was very sick when I was little so they had to be creative with things I could do indoors only. I don't think anyone should be spoiled but the occasional surprise is kinda nice."

*waves* Hi, I just wanted to say that I think your character concept is way awesome. I saw his profile and was very intrigued.

[__ryu]

Very little. A pallet, a few books, not much else.

My tastes haven't really changed much since then.

[greyfireson]

"If you had a child, would you give them those things, or would you want them to have a different kind of childhood than you did?"

[__ryu]

I am not sure. I would like to teach them not to place to much value on material goods; but I could see how this approach could have the opposite effect, causing them to covet everything they did not have in their youth.

[greyfireson]

"I imagine the usual result would be somewhere in the middle."
