My parents are great. They did an awesome job. My mom is a wonderful and selfless person that sacrificed and put up with so much for the sake of the rest of us (my dad, my sister, and me)and even though we don't get along all the time, my respect for her remains the same. And as for my dad, words can barely describe the great things he has done as my father, he has always worked hard to ensure our life is stable in everyway and I am proud to be my father's son (though at times I don't feel worthy to be the heir of such a great man).
My mother deserves a medal. Whenever she gets on my nerves and I feel the need to complain, I remind myself that she went through absolute HELL for me. She wasted eleven years of her life trying to have kids, then when she did, it turned out that me and my brothers were awkward little buggers who wanted to see daylight as soon as possible. So she had to lie in a hospital bed, unable to sit up or even MOVE for three damn months. She almost died, got post-natal depression and then had to raise us on her own when she and dad split up. How she didn't go off the deep end, I'll never know, yet she STILL managed to raise us as well-adjusted, well-behaved kids. Even if she does panic if I so much as get a paper-cut.
My dad on the other hand... I know he loves me - in fact, he's always complaining that we don't get enough time together, but quite frankly, he's thick. Thick in the sense that no matter how many times I tell him, he still thinks he's got better ideas for my life. So you want to be a teacher? Nah, the army's more worthwhile. Get rid of those books and put down your violin and play football instead. Get a tan, go blonde, lose weight, why don't you go out and get drunk and pull guys like the other girls? (yes, really.) If I didn't know better, I'd think he wanted me to be a chavvy, alcoholic slut. Daft git.
Thankfully, his mum is a little spitfire, and totally awesome. Your stereotypical sweet little granny (and I mean little, she's about four foot nothing) going schizo every time my dad tries to criticise me, complete with slaps to wherever she can reach, is totally worth the aggravation. And my grandad is like a sniper when it comes to sarcasm, and for a guy with only one working limb, he gives the best bear hugs. Old people rule.

I have a really good relationship with my mother, but my father is out of the picture. Long story with him. =-/
My parents sent me to Kumon for additional after-school math classes, putting me about 3 grades ahead of everyone else in school.heyheysg said:
They sent me to an SAT tutor which raised my score from 1250 to 1450(out of 1600, for those who don't know what the SAT was).
They paid the bulk of my college tuition.
I can guarantee you that I would not be doing as well now if they had not gone the extra mile in my education. On top of that, they encouraged reading, took me to church to teach me to appreciate morality, took me to karate classes to teach me discipline. They whupped my ass when I deserved it too.
My parents were awesome and I can only hope to make it up to them by doing the same for my future children.
My mom's okay, we have a lot in common, but she is much more unstable than I am. It's unbearable, according to my sister she's great when you move out and don't have to see her. I certainly plan on seeing her scarcely once I leave, I love her deep deep down (and it's probably only because I feel obliged too), but I hate her as well.
My dad is estranged and bitter and cynical, I love him though. When I do see him I have a good time, but it is a bit depressing being with him. he's like a little raincloud, maybe it's because he;s not used to having a daughter as much as he should and it feels awkward, so he's great in small doses.
I adore my sister, I look up to her so much. she has gone through everytving I have and more and she still is a strong, wonderful woman. I trust her more than my mom and they year I lived with her I remember fondly.

My mother is a caring person, but she also has some attributes that I detest.
I used to be seriously scared of my father, but he has changed into a more mellow state now.
Overall I think they're ok parents, my mother might even rank as a good parent, but it's a bit hard for me to decipher because I was as maladjusted as I was. But then again I did fine in school and I am currently working myself through University despite being schizophrenic. Also I think they both love me, so I am probably the faulty one.

My parents are great, they work day in and day out to put food out on the table for me as well a numerous things on the side (which they don't have to at all)
I love 'em both and I hope i'll be able to repay their kindness in the future.

my mum is awesome and i know i can get away with smelling of alcohol and wlak right past her because she can't smell
my dad and i are distant and we don't talk more than a just hi how are you?
he works for an airline and is going away alot and also my dad is a buzzkill whatever i would get away with usually he makes a big deal about.

semi-reverse here, my dad is cool, comepletely sane, but has weird views on things, to the point they MIGHT put him in an asylum.regallmighty said:
my mom is bumfrakkin' insane, considerably doubt the goverment or whoever is in charge of the crazy people give 2 shits.
not to mention she is one of those "videogames are evil" sheep and supports obama (me and my family considerably dislike they way he, or the previous THREE presidents,is/are doing things)
