Bad Parents in Warrior cats and why by Flickerbreeze

Flickerbreeze discusses some characters in the series who failed to do their parental duty.

Hey guys, it’s Flickerbreeze here and today I’ll be discussing some of the worst parents in Warrior Cats. Some parents are caring and loving, while others are neglectful. Let’s start.

Palebird. Palebird is Tallstar’s mother. After the loss of Finchkit, she often neglects Tallkit, once even refusing to give him milk. Even in his apprenticeship, she doesn’t really care about him. After Brackenwing’s death, instead of comforting Tallpaw, she just ignores him even when he talks to her. Like excuse me, this is no way to treat your kit. She goes on to have another litter of kits with Woollytail and fusses over them more than she has ever cared about Tallpaw. When they go out on the moor, Talltail brings them back and saves them from a hawk. This is just about the time he rejoins WindClan. Instead of welcoming her son back like the other warriors, she accuses him of bringing her kits on the moor and is furious. When she finds out Talltail saved her kits, she doesn’t praise him at all, just grunts and turns away. Anyways, Palebird was not a good mother to Tallstar.

Sandgorse. He’s Tallstar’s father and he’s no better than Palebird. He just doesn’t respect his son’s wishes. When Tallpaw has a bad experience digging. He goes over to Palebird who’s cleaning him up and then he wants him to go back and dig. When he’s an apprentice, he gets basic tunneling training. The tunnel floods and Sandgorse wants to go back after even when he and Tallpaw almost die. When Tallpaw refuses, he gets mad. Like why? Your son almost dies in a flood, of course he doesn’t want to go back. When Heatherstar shuts down the gorge tunnel, Sandgorse accuses Tallpaw of being a rabbit-heart. He doesn’t even listen to Tallpaw’s explanations. Tallpaw didn’t tattle, it was Woollytail who told Dawnstripe about the floods. He just keeps away from his son after. Sandgorse is also not a good parent.

Last but not least: Millie. After Briarlight’s accident, she continuously fusses over her, questioning Jayfeather. It’s just annoying. She takes out her anger on her other kits. Those are not qualities for a good mother. Worst of all, she neglects her two other kits: Bumblestripe and Blossomfall. Her neglect even pushes Blossomfall to be tricked by the Dark Forest. Whatever Bumblestripe and Blossomfall do, their mother will always find criticism again. She is the reason one of her kits went to the Dark Forest. It’s not false when Ivypool thinks Millie thinks she only has one kit.

So this is what I think about some of the worst parents in warrior cats. Flickerbreeze is out!!!
