ā¢Jay, what is your favorite activity to do with your kids? Which one would you like to connect more with?
ā”ļø: We have a family game/movie night every Saturday where we all hang out, eat junk food, and get to catch up with each other. It can get pretty wild sometimes
I would say Hazel, actually. She was a daddyās princess when she was little, but sheās grown more independent now that sheās a teenager, *crying* and- and I miss my little baby girl so much
⢠Lloyd, how does it feel to train your kids, knowing they have such a powerful element?
š²: In a word? Challenging
Auraā¦sheās got pretty good control over her powers, but it seems like she holds back more than she should. *sighs* Iāve tried to explain to her her duties as the Green Ninja, butā¦she lacks responsibility. She hasnāt even performed the Ritual of Unrooting yet, and I worry that sheāll never reach her potential
Now, Raidenā¦is a completely different story. He understands his duties well enough, but he loses control very easilyā¦which can be pretty disastrous in the wrong circumstances
Both of them have a lot of learning yet to do, but overall, Iām very proud of them both
⢠For everyone, have you ever regret letting the kids be ninjas, knowing the danger that entails?
š²: Iāve thought about it at times. Aura didnāt seem too enthusiastic about it at first, actually. I thought about telling her so didnāt have to, butā¦unfortunately, I can no longer fulfill the role of Green Ninja, so her becoming a ninja was somewhat necessary
ā”ļø: Oh, absolutely. Nya and I had a long discussion about that when Hazel started her training. Ultimately, we decided to let them choose. And they all chose to give us daily heart attacks, so thanks kids
šŖØ: Being a ninja was for Blake, at first, something he could let out his anger through. It was something he needed at that time, andā¦I guess I thought maybe it could build a connection between us. Itās never been easy, but I trust him to do what he needs to do
āļø: Of course. I worry often about whether Iām pushing Piper, or if this is truly what she wants. Because first and foremost, I want her to be happy. As for the danger, I find myself worrying about that more than I thought I would. Parenthood isā¦far more complex than Iād expected, especially parenting a teenager
ā¤ļøāš„: I think we all have at some point. But yāknow? I knew Aiden would be a ninja. I see a lot of my fire in his eyes, and I think he makes a great leader. I try to be there for him whenever he needs me
š: I meanā¦I guess? Rye doesnāt do much out in the field, so Iād say he isnāt it too much danger, but I know that will probably change one of these days
š„§: Pretty much what Frak said. I donāt doubt that Rye could be good with actual ninja stuff, but for now, Iām glad heās not risking his life every other week
⢠Cole, with which one of your kids do you feel more "connection"? Like, with whom you can talk more, or do more things, etc.
šŖØ: Why does it seem like youāre asking me which one is my favorite? Just kidding. Umā¦I would say generally I feel closest to Lilly, but that could just be because of how clingy she can be at times. I love being with all three of them though
⢠Kai, what is your favorite activity to do with your son?
Cooking. Itās kind of a whole family affair. Can get pretty cramped in our tiny kitchen with three people working in it, but I think thatās part of the fun of it
Right now, weāre actually trying mini golf for the first time, and I think heās taking it a bit too seriously haha
