Unfair treatment- part 2

power214063 asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch2405 "Unfair treatment" where David explains Neal's complaint to Snow and Emma's reaction. I know you asked for 2 separate chapters, but I only write one at a time :).

"I cannot believe this!" Emma screamed. Charming ignored her as he left her bedroom. By which point, Snow was in the hall.

"What's going on?" She asked, alarmed. "Is Emma alright? Is she having nightmares again? Maybe I should see if I can calm her down…"

"Snow, Emma's fine. It's not nightmares." Charming assured her. "She's mad at me because I made her switch her computer off and go to bed." He explained. Snow looked puzzled. "Neal." Charming began. "He gave me attitude tonight when I told him off for doing the same thing. He pointed out that we let Emma away with so much more than him, and it's not because she's older so can do more. It's because we still feel guilty about her spending time in the system." Snow couldn't really respond, she knew her son was right. "Spoiling Emma now won't make up for that. It's just making things worse, especially for Neal. We need to show her boundaries, Snow. That she can't walk all over us." Snow sighed.

"I still feel dreadful though." She said quietly. Charming leaned in and kissed the top of her head.

"But we always will." He pointed out. "All we can do is be the best parents that we can to her now and forevermore. Neal too. Spoiling her rotten isn't doing that. It's time things changed." Charming grimaced. "Emma just needs some time to adjust." Snow laughed humourlessly. Emma was still yelling out all kinds of threats and obscenities.

"I think our neighbours do, as well."
