Re: What were your parents like?

[personal profile] biohazardgirl 2013-02-17 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
My parents met at a bar where my dad was playing a gig. My mom was a party girl who had recently graduated from college after six years with a bachelor's in accounting; my dad had dropped out of college and was living entirely off of money that he and his band made from his gigs. Both of them were a little broken and had just gotten out of bad relationships. They were engaged within four months and somehow they've been married for 22 years. And now my mom is a professor with a Masters degree in Tax and my dad is also a professor finishing up his PhD in Ecology/Evolutionary Biology and instead of living in New Jersey they live in North Dakota, so yeah over the years they've changed a lot :)

Growing up, my life was always changing, really. We've moved a lot (although we've been in the same place for nearly ten years) and my dad has been in and out of school for almost the entire time my parents have been married. It's weird to me that people don't view the woman of the house as the person who makes the money and the decisions, because that's how I grew up my entire life. My mother is domineering and controlling and quick to jump to conclusions and she used to be angry a lot before she went on medication, but she's also always loved her children fiercely and she is one of my best friends. And her work ethic and enthusiasm for change has definitely left an impact on me.

My inner personality is a lot like my mom's, but my outward expression is much more like my dad's. Except for when he's really angry (like recently when he and my brother have been fighting ugh) he's a pretty easygoing, softspoken guy. He has a weird sense of humor, and he's friends with everyone. He really likes the outdoors, and he loves music. Some of my fondest childhood memories are with him and his guitar. For the past six years though he hasn't been around much. Not because he and my mom have been fighting or anything (if anything it has made their marriage stronger) but because his school that he went to to get his PhD was four hours away from us, and now his job is closer, only an hour away from my hometown, but it's still far.

I feel kinda sad for my brother, really, cuz he and my dad have this big disconnect where he doesn't really respect my dad's authority because he's not home, but whatever. Life goes on.

I love them, and they love me.
