What are/were your parents like?
Switchblade:
Both my parents are doctors (Mum's a general practitioner and Dad's an Orthopedic Consultant) and they're very alike. They're both supportive, loving, incredibly intelligent, and have never tried to "decide" how my sister's life and mine should go - they figure those decisions are ours to make. They've backed us in whatever we want to do, been advisors and confidants to both of us throughout our lives, and I love them both to bits.
about the only noticeable differences between them is that Dad's a fair bit goofier and surreal of wit than Mum, and perhaps a little less talkative.

My parents are reasonably laidback, semi-conservative and still married 22 years later. Dad works in telephony at the local college and Mum is a part-time worker at Australia Post. Dad is 43 and Mum is 48. I love them both dearly, but only now that I'm 20, my mum has started caring about who I decide to date D: Dad's fine, though... Thank goodness for one level-headed parent.
I get my silly sense of humour and slow-burning temper from Dad, and my looks from Mum. <3

My dad is a good dad. Like, he instilled in me a respect for knowledge, taught me many things, and never really tried to dictate my life or indoctrinate me in his extremely Republican views. This is an interesting point that I've ruminated on with increasing frequency, because he wasn't a great husband. I mean, my mom is a bit of a nutter (eg. she's controlling and emotionally manipulative, the sort who is constantly shouting and telling other people what to do,) but still I find it interesting to reflect on the fact that one trait does not imply the other, and it concerns me that I'll have the same dichotomy.
Also, I just realized that I forgot to call on my mom's birthday. I sent a card and flowers well in advance, but I forgot to call on the actual day. crap
