I get on really well with my parents, so I'm pretty lucky. My mum is amazing! My parents split up when I was 18 and she worked really hard, after being a stay at home mum for many years, to afford a nice house and clothes and food and everything for me and my younger brothers. She is the most supportive and nicest person as well.

My dad is a little odd but he loves us a lot. I've recently realised he is probably somewhere on the autism spectrum as he isn't great socially or understanding/having emotions, but he is very successful at his job and hobbies. He's a lot of fun though and I always feel really calm when I'm with him in new situations (like travelling around Europe!) which is awesome cos I'm usually a stresshead. xD He could have done more for my mum and us when my parents split up, especially since my mum didn't push for much in the divorce. But he has always been really stingy about money. He's gotten better since my parents split up which really makes me kinda sad cos if he had done the same things he does now for his girlfriend (not yelling at her when she bought a $3 coffee while out of the house instead of making one at home, not getting annoyed when we put too much jam on a sandwich or use too much toilet paper, and actually going out somewhere where it costs money, etc.), my parents would probably still be together. I'm not too sad about it though cos I know my mum is much happier these days. But it has complicated our lives a lot and it'll only get more annoying as we grow up and have families of our own. We already have to deal with my dad's girlfriend... but that's another story. xD
