I like this series and it’s fluffiness a lot, but I really dislike the webcomic trope of a child being used to force their parent(s) to reconcile with a former abuser. This is really common in straight comics. The FL leaves/flees the relationship with the toxic, abusive, and/or negligent ML, turns out they’re pregnant. Years later there’s more bs when they reunite for whatever reason, and the kid just cannot bear the thought of living without him. The father puts in the bare minimum effort to interact with the kid, sometimes without even revealing that he’s their father, yet the kid is so attached they practically beg their mom to stay. Just because there’s a cute grandkid doesn’t mean they can erase the horrific abuse they inflicted on their child. Having the audacity to show up in your grandchild’s life after abusing your kid to the point they had to cut you off without even trying to apologize is insane
