,14) Would they ever want to be a stay at home spouse or parent
A stay at home spouse while there are no kids is a definite no as far as I’d see it, at least so long as she’s . Haruka wouldn’t *have* to work, and I think that’s why she’d want to. She takes immense pride in being able to say she did something or bought something for Michiru with her own money. I can’t see her giving that up.
With kids, though, I think they’d *both* try out stay at home parenting, so long as Michiru continued to have the money to support them. After the first year, give or take a few months, Michiru goes back to work. Haruka, though, loves parenting so so much that she has zero desire to do anything but care for their kids as much as possible.
Michiru has to draw a line, when the youngest starts school, Haruka has to go back to work, or at least take back up her more time-consuming hobbies. (She can see the empty-nest fall out miles away). Haruka starts suggesting they have another kid as the time draws near, but Michiru’s firm on no more, as she knows in four years thy’d go through this all again.
So Haruka does go back to work, and she’s still an emotional wreck over not being 100% parent 100% of the time, her babies are in school and are starting to not need her, but it helps keep her going. And later, when the teenage years start and her babies are starting to not WANT her, work turns into her saving grace (though only Mina and Michiru and others would see it that way, Haruka would never think of it).
Sometimes I forget that this episode exists, which is nice because what greater joy is there than remembering that Rei and Minako fought over the care of a dog and fell in love.

So prismatic-bell likes to send me sweet MakoAmi ideas all the time and this headcanon about Ami and food grew out of that. This post is probably 50/50 me and Nina, so give her some love for this post as well.
Ami has issues with a lot of foods (either there’s a taste or texture there that Ami just can not deal with) and is a very selective eater, hence the sandwiches that she eats in canon.
So on one of their first dates Ami is horribly embarrassed because Mako made all this wonderful food but a lot of it is food she just cannot eat and she’s convinced that she’s really seriously offended Mako. But at the same time Mako is convinced Ami hates her.
And of course Ami never brought it up because if she DID, she’s used to people saying shit like “well have you tried THIS?” or “have you tried it this way?” and so on, and it just gets really tiring to have to explain that over and over again.
So then Mako finally asks Ami what happened, and Ami is not the straightforward type at all and is horrified to offend people. So, finally she pours her heart out to Usagi, who relays this information to Mako.
The next day at school Ami opens her desk and finds a cute little piece of stationery that says “write down some things you like,” and it’s clearly Mako’s stationery so she timidly goes to see Mako at lunch.
Mako’s just like “Hey, I can learn to cook just about anything, but it doesn’t do either of us any good if I don’t know what I should be feeding you,” and Ami mentions a rice dish she likes.
Next time they get together that’s what Mako puts on the table.
