You have fundamentally misunderstood Bruce's character, If you do not 100% know what Bruce would say in any of these instances.
"B can we skip patrol cause I....."
"Bruce I was thinking instead of...."
Bruce Wayne is throwing off his bat-suit running to the car, fishing his wallet out because his children don't want to fight crime today. This is the best day of his fucking life.
The thing I feel like is forgotten Bruce does not want any of these children to be vigilantes.
This fact is very much forgotten.
If all of them decided tomorrow to never get a fucking job, never go to college live completely off Bruce's money, but also never be a vigilante again. Bruce Wayne is throwing a parade that has not been seen since Alexander The Great lost his boyfriend.
Bruce would have a house filled with like 30 year old children who eat his food and refuse to never work a day in their lives and he would absolutely love it because they are not risking themselves.
He would skip patrol no questions asked.
In fanfictions I always see a moment of them like trying to convince Bruce to take a night off or they need a break or whatever.
Bruce, who is not absolutely butchered by a writer is actively burning down the Batcave because dick said he's just not feeling this vigilante thing anymore.
Bruce Wayne will never skip patrol or being Batman by his own decision or for his own benefit.
Throw one of his kids in it and he is just Bruce Wayne.
