My dad was a very easy going guy. He drove truck through the week and sometimes gone for weeks on end but when he was around we got along great. Mom was okay. In teenage years of course I don't think I was the easiest to get along with. Mom was the disciplinarian of the home (i.e. punishment giver). Dad lectured - and boy could he lecture. I would sit literally sometimes for over 2 hours with my dad lecturing. I could remember thinking...sheesh, just spank me and get it over with. Mom would have to tell him after 2 hours she thinks I got the message. I did fight a lot with my mom, but again I think it was because I was a horrible teenager growing up. Whatever time dad was home I loved it. Both parents were loving and fair. I never really thought of getting along better one over the other, but my dad and I had a connection I didn't have with my mom and my sister had a connection with mom she didn't with my dad (even though she was always protecting dad when he wasn't around and mom was trashing him to us).
