Kids Tend To Act Independent Around The Age Of 6-7 - Tumblr Posts

Baby Leo and Donnie are fighting each other in the highchair they are sharing. (They are very small.)

Splinter, setting a saucer down on the tabletop, while holding baby Mikey in his other hand.

Splinter: "Hey!"

Close up shot of Splinter's hand gently pulling Leo away from Donnie. Leo and Donnie are wearing surprised expressions at this.

Splinter: "Boys! Stop that!"

Shot of Splinter looking frustrated still holding baby Leo in his hands. Leo is still stunned about being pulled away from Donnie, his arms stretched out.

Splinter: "I'll have to separate the two of you if this keeps up!"

Splinter looks up shocked as Donnie (off screen) starts crying whines (Donnie cry visualized as a purple spikey speech bubble). Leo, starting to tear up makes a whining/crying noise as well (Leo's cries a visualized by a blue spikey speech bubble)

Close up shot of baby Donnie still in the highchair, physically reaching out for Leo. Donnie's brow is scrunched up and he is tearing, obviously upset. (Small shakey looking purple speech bubbles are around his head to show he is making upset sounds of some kind)

Alright, my sons... I understand.

I'm sorry I scared you.

You can stay together.
Just behave yourselves.

Still thinking about brand new mutated Dad Splinter figuring out the dynamics between his children. It wasn't until I was lining some of this that I realized the unintentional angst in this cute comic, because Splinter seeing how distraught Leo and Donnie are at being separated would hit a little too close to home for him.

sibling dynamics rottmnt rottmnt fanart rottmnt comic turtle tots I like the idea that Splinter was attentive to the turtle tots but at a certain age on both sides the deep depression set in kids tend to act independent around the age of 6-7 so I imagine Splinter started repressing himself from his sons around those years
