I'll go 7 as an average they were a 6 growing up, and are now an 8 they were very strict when i was growing up, and i still think my dad is going to yell at me out of the blue for something.
mom 10, dad 7, stepdad 8 my dad lives in another city and rarely tries to contact me... he doesn't have a landline that I can call and won't give me his cell number because long distance charges are a bitch. My mom rocks though.
I'll go with an 8.5 Archie Bunker & June Cleaver, the 'good 'ol boy' and the librarian no complaints here...........
im gonna say a 4.5 when i lived at home but since i have moved out im gonna say a 9 but there are those times that it is 1...
My father.. he has never really cared about me much. He usually just ignores me. My mother.. she's wonderful, but we're just too different and can't really understand each other at all. When I was a kid, my parents were always working and never at home. Now.. we live something like 1200 miles away from each other and that works pretty well, so I'll give them 10. I guess they did the best job they knew how to do..
I love my mom. she's a 10 all the way. my dad would have to be an 8. he tries but he sucks at this adult/parent thing. But he tries his best and that means a lot to me.
Growing up: 3 for my father. If he wasn't neglecting me, he was screaming at me and telling me what an awful person I was. He actually tried to jam his fingers in my eyes once. 5 for my mother. She could go between ripping my hair out and punching me and being the greatest mom on earth. Now: My father probably gets an 8. He's trying harder than he ever tried in his life and admits he was wrong, which is a lot more than I could have ever hoped for. My mother probably gets a 9. She's really getting a backbone and is doing more for me than I ever imagined she would.
I don't think I can rate my parents. They are wonderful and are my two best friends, but they weren't always the best parents. They are great people though. They were not horrible parents, but they had their bad points. I love them both very very much and I refuse to rate them. It's impossible.
my dad is an 8.5 and my mom is about a 4.5 now... i think she was around an 9 until i was around 11 years old.
If I actually did get to live in La~la Land my parents could be president and the first lady....but gawd dammit, I came from 'the real world' and my parents aside from giving me much love, prepared me for squat! I remember thinking as I was growing up that these people were teaching me NOTHING. But they loved me as best as they could and kept me as safely as they could and for that I give them both 9's, oblivious bastids that they are...
