[sarillia]

I kind of assumed that the Air Nomads didn't have a traditional family structure. The kids all seemed to be some kind of novices at the temple. I would definitely like to know more about it too.

I wonder if it's not part of the reason Aang didn't turn out a great parent.

[(Anonymous)]

Aang being a poor father has always sort of bothered me as he was shown to be so good with people, but that's an explanation that I'd accept. Growing up he only learned-by-example how to raise a group of airbender students, not how to have the more individual connection of a parent or how to handle non-airbender children.

[(Anonymous)]

From what little we saw, all Air Nomad children were expected to be treated equally by all the adults in their lives. The closeness between Aang and Gyatso was unusual and disapproved of. That might seem contradictory to what we know of Aang and Tenzin but it's not really: Aang spent more time with him because he was anxious to pass on all he knew about Air Nomads and Airbending. It didn't mean he loved his other children any less. But it did mean that Aang didn't realise how much his other children needed him - him personally, their father, not just one of the many other responsible adults around.

DA

Agreed. And given her own childhood, Katara may not have picked up on it right away either.
