Homemade Strawberry Shortcakes

[coddlebrandedbaker]

Yes, there was never a Mrs. Egbert, haha! That might be why I had been so focused as well, lacking the extra hands going around to handle two children. There just came a time that I had a change of pace, and eventually wanted a new, big start, and there they were.

Pardon my curiosity, it’s no slight on your capability as a parent, believe me, being a single male parent as well, but isn’t it rather rare that the children go to the father? What with the bias of the system and whatnot. o:

Understandable.

You adopted them? Noble, honestly. I would have adopted had I not had the two I had.

Well I have already had my name legally changed once, so it will be a hassle to change it yet again but I will push through if I really want to do it.

[coddlebrandedbaker]

True, true. You’re still quite young as well, and had your children even younger. I was your present age when I adopted them, so I might have simply felt more ease with settling as fully as I did. I had been rather in and out when it came to dating before then, so. :’)

Perhaps. It certainly has been quite some time since anything particularly new has happened, government issues aside over here...

About what I was figuring, more so if your daughter had just moved out.

Still though ,it’s good you put your time and effort into your kids. I try my best but still need a break when and at every chance I can get.. 

It’s likely midlife crisis but there is nothing wrong with a different type of motivation telling you it’s time for a chance of pace. 

With all hope.

[coddlebrandedbaker]

Something to that effect. I’d roughly estimate maybe 20 years? Certainly long enough. :’) Focusing on raising the two of them while they were younger distracted me enough from lingering on the thought, but now that they’ve grown and are beginning to pick up lives of their own, it’s been giving me quite a bit of time on my own in my hands. Maybe it’s the onset of the midlife crisis, ahaha. ;;

Ah, going for a permanent change, then. I wish you luck on that endeavor. :)

Two birds with one stone as you will it.

As the saying goes, been out of the game that long? It happens, but it seems like your life is as that pivotal point of do you want to keep it that way or is it time to change? I’m only twenty nine and I feel like that over the course of a few years.. But kids at different stages of their life’s is a difference..

Thanks, James! I’m still considering changing it legally though.

[coddlebrandedbaker]

Ah yes, might be it will be a bonus attraction for a potential date, haha!

Jane and John, they’re fine kids, very lovely, the two of them. They took quite well to the things I like to do, even without prompting, and it’s always nice to have company while baking. Although in context with the beginning of the conversation, I’m afraid they’ve never had to deal with me seeing anyone at all. ;; If anything, it would at least be something of an experience to John, as Jane’s moved out earlier this year.

Ah, well, if it’s to your preference, I’ll continue to call you Prince, then. :)

Welcome too, chip in a few bucks and you get a leather jacket with the club name on it or something cool like that.

They are, they have their quirks and I adore them.. What about yours?

My legal name is Dirk but it became increasingly uncommon and I decided to swap out for a nick name a few people gave me a few years ago.

[coddlebrandedbaker]

Ahaha, perhaps I may join as well if it pushes through.

Regardless of the cold shouldering, though, both of them sound charming. Maybe it’s also from the experience of having raised a boy and a girl as well, but I’m sure things will work out when the time is right. :)

Prince. A lovely name! It may seem as if the trend of meeting people with uncommon names continues. 

I’m apparently starting a club for single people to meet..

Hopefully. Delilah gives a lot of people the cold shoulder unless she really likes them or knows I really like them. David is a ham for attention so that is a win all the way around.

Oh! Prince, please, pleasure to meet you too.

[coddlebrandedbaker]

Just the two. Rather grown up by now, though, and I have been thinking it might be alright to ease back into seeing other people again.

That is true. Hopefully your little ones would get along with whomever you choose! Having them click with the same person as you do would just be so lovely. :)

Oh my, speaking of getting to know someone, where are my manners. ;; My name is James Egbert. A pleasure to meet you. :)

You have kids?

Mine take up enough time but I am sure I have time between Delilah at school and David in day care.. It’s just the matter of getting to know some one enough to ask them out I suppose.

James is quite comfortable with his body! He may be nearing his 50′s, runs a patisserie, but he keeps quite fit, and has the lean body of someone between 30-40 years old. All in all, not bad :B

Send ϡ for a MENTAL STATE headcanon.

He’s very mildly neurotic re: his biological family. Otherwise, he’s easygoing, works smoothly, and has a fairly confident state of mind in general.

Send ღ for a LOVE/SEXUALITY headcanon.

WHERE DO I BEGINHe never married, (John and Jane were adopted), and it wasn’t for a lack of romantic interest. It was more on not finding someone he’d be that tethered to just yet. James has had his fair share of relationships, monogamous and poly ones (he’s poly), but usually as the third party joiner. He doesn’t harbor any bad feelings when he has to step aside and let the original two be happy together though. He just kind of wants a nice place for himself when it’s okay and comfortable for those involved. uvu also bc hes a daddy dom so like u know

I want to make this known; it’s OKAY to flirt with my muse, it’s okay to say flirty things to them, yes, they may not react to it, they may not respond to it positively, but know as a mun I’m 100% OKAY with it. Especially if my muse is clearly attractive appearance wise, go a head, flirt with them, if my muse is your muse’s type, it’s okay to flirt, we don’t have to be shipping, we don’t ever have to ship to have you flirt with my muse; I WON’T think you’re pushing a ship on me either. But I just feel that some people are scared to have their muse be flirty to another because we a muns might take it the wrong way.

I’m not saying this goes for everyone, but I’m letting you know that it doesn’t make me uncomfortable and I’m fine with it.
