My dad is special. He's a person who gets pissed off too easily, hits me, then acts like nothing happens. My mom... is just plain awesome. I think parents are good based on who they are, not what they are. Parents are people too.
Hmm I'd say that it depends on the parents. My mom is cool sometimes, but others she ridiculous. My grandma and I both think she's bipolar, but she won't get help or anything. My dad doesn't live with us, but he's not bad when I see him. So I'd say it's not really fun, but it's not always bad.
Well, my dad died when I was 4... He was a smoker. But that was his only flaw... My mom tells me all kinds of hilarious and awesome stories about him. But I miss him dearly. I wish I knew him better before he passed.
My mom is also great. A little on the crazy side... but in a good way.
having parents is convenient, I will not say it is fun, for instance, for about 5 months I have had every reason to hate my father
