You could ask Lady Mormont. She could whip anybody into shape.

He'll have the fighting strength of ten men, if he survives that steely-eyed stare.

Girl could freeze vodka at two hundred paces.

OP here. There was a time when I thought 14 would have been a perfect match for Lady Mormont, but then my Lord husband rode off in the night to join The Vale at the Battle of the Bastards --with their father away, the boys refuse to pack the dishwasher or even practice their sword dancing.

Not sure about 11:52, but the four year old's mom was awesome.


I'm not sure the wall is right for my kid. Might not be far enough away.

Thank you!

I am actually a mom of all boys, including teenage. No girls to speak of in this house besides me.

I figured every thread about raising teenagers comes with at least one preschool mom lamenting how the teen parents are parenting, so I might as well get it out of the way in the beginning.

Carry on!

If he's Ranger, like my nephew, they may send him North of the Wall to scout for wights. But they send the really difficult boys to Spotty WIFI Castle-by-the-Sea. It's really far.

I could use counsel from Varys and Tyrion and yet would still screw up this thing. Parent of 10 and 12 year old surly squires.

I have a tween girl now under the evil influence of hormones. I now understand why medieval lords fostered out their kids. You don't want to kill your heirs or have them kill you.

My son is taking a summer internship with Daenerys Targaryen, First of her name, etc... etc....

She seems nice. Said he'd be doing something to take care of her pets?
