Parents in books and movies can be so unaware, or they die. I don’t like that very much. It’s such a stereotype. Lenox has it all right here!
Rules for Writing the MC’s Parents by Lenox Bozzelli
***
How to be the MC’s parent:
CWs: death and orphaning
If you are the mother, and the father is alive, die
If you are the father, and the mother is still alive, die
The MC can only have 1 or less parents are the end of the story.
Alternatively orphan your child
That's it! Congratulations you can now be the MCs parent!
Lenox Bozzelli is a Christian writer from the northwest United States. When she’s not writing with her partner-in-crime cat, Lenox’s either thinking about writing or listening to music (mostly for writing prompts). She writes fantasy because real-life is very boring.

See! She put to words everything I’ve noticed about parents in stories!
