Accelerating their growth so they were physically mature within a year or so was a HUGE mistake. Emps seems to have totally underestimated the need for emotional maturing along with physical and intellectual. No wonder his boys had problems! As somebody above wisely observed the Emperor was supremely out of touch with normal human's psychology and I suspect his own emotions as well. I wonder if he had a mother?

Hahaha! That would have been the perfect solution!

Horus would have been told to play nice with the other boys and share his toys. Night Haunter would have had been told to take off his cape and mask and wash up for dinner. Lorgar would have had a nice heart to heart talk and have had it explained to him that Dad loved him very much, but he was really busy with work and couldn't always play pretend with him. The Twins would have had a treehouse clubhouse built for them at the urging of dear ol' Mom, so they could play their super secret spy games together in their tin foil hats. Angron would have gotten a new puppy and a stern talking to anytime he bullied the other boys on the playground. Peturabo would have gotten all the attention he could stand.(and then some.) Fulgrim would have been put in "time out" for not using the common sense he was born with and following the other boys into trouble. Mortarion.... Well, who knows what his mom woulda done with that little weirdo...

It's funny how a single Mom would have made the far future much less grim and dark. All it would have taken was a few peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a little ol' fashioned parenting.
