This line....it reminds me so much of Kurt's childhood and what his mom did to him when he was 5...to see how seaworthy her child was.
I'm sure they were not the only seafaring parents to try that tactic. Dani has always been particularly insistent that everyone who sails with her is a capable swimmer. So she was quite horrified when she first met Iyrnahct and learned that his almost four year old daughter had never been taught. In her eyes he was the most neglectful of fathers. Just for fun, I'll add in the younger generation.
 Klynzahr is actually quite frightened by the thought of having children. Her own mother died shortly after delivering her, and Klyn's childhood mind contrived all sorts of horrific nightmares surrounding the event. These vague fears were doubled, when she witnessed her stepmother's extremely difficult second labor. If she were to find herself pregnant in the near future, she would probably view it as her own death sentence.
 As for child rearing, Klyn is probably better prepared than she believes. Growing up at sea, she had few female role models and those she did have were not exactly nurturing types. However after helping to raise three younger brothers, she has amassed a fair amount of experience and would probably turn out to be a kind yet firm parent (once you convinced her she wasn't going to die).
 Daliane, my Elezen alt, simply has no interest in children. Although she is stubbornly devoted to her family, her lifestyle is built around protecting their assets and building business relations in Ul'dah. So she has little time for anything else. I could only see her settling down if marriage became a political necessity. If that were to happen she would probably avoid parenthood for as long as possible, and if it still became inevitable well... she would probably hire a tutor and nannies, then do her best to forget about the kid. Terrible parent right there.
