Re: Just curious... do you think your parents were/are good parents?

I think they honestly tried their best, but they were both raised very hands off, and I could've used more pushiness and structure than I had. We all realized this in hindsight, and we all blame ourselves for me not taking that full ride to pharmaceutical school.

I do like them as people! My dad was a super fun to be around. I loved listening to him and his old Air Force buddies or him and his brothers just gab on like fish wives. He had a temper, but it didn't flare up often. He tended to apologize for it with food, which is a habit I picked up. Mom is kind of stuck in the '50s, but not in a bad way. British '50s is very different from US '50s, so it means more that she's stuck on rations mode and "public decency". She's also a total troll and says things just to get a rise out of people, which I appreciate when she's not doing it to me.
