I am a good mix of both of them.
I could not ask for better parents.

Which parent do you admire/ which do you pray you will not end up like?

My Dad is an Alcoholic, Abusive prick who used to grow/deal pot and has been in jail on more than one occasion. Hell, he was in jail less than two months ago.
My mother is also an Ahcoholic and an enabler. She stood by and did basically nothing for years when I was younger. She's also a former prostitute.
I may have, in spirit, forgiven them and moved on with my life, but I'll never forget what it was like growing up in that house, and as such, I do all that I can to make sure I don't end up like them.

admire = my momz
hope i don't turn into = my popz

Both my father was a good man not perfect but loved my brother and I to pieces and he lived life to the fullest. My mother is absolutely amazing woman pretty much a super mom. Before she retired she was an engineer and despite a very demanding job kept our house spotless, cooked gourmet meals and provided us with all the love and support she could. Since there is no blood between my step father and I his traits I would not naturally inherit but there are many good things I have picked up from being around him. I was for sure dealt a very good hand in the parental department.

I hope I end up like both my parents. I feel so very lucky to have two people like them (even though they are divorced). I could go into detail... but I'm too lazy. LOL!

I love both my parents...they both have great qualities, but their flaws are pretty big ones.
my mom is a typical hispanic mother..... very emotional,controlling, has an insane temper...she's also very unorganized, bad with time management and finances and where i get my ADHD from. At the same time, she can be very nuturing and did everything deep down for me and my siblings. I try to give her slack because she lost everything in cuba, where her family was very powerful, and came here with nothing and had to work a bunch of jobs to help her parents as a teenager.
Unfortunately, all my bad qualities stem from my mother....
My dad on the other hand....i have a great deal of respect for. born in horrible conditions in WW2 japan...the country was fucked up, worked his ass off... ended up coming to the US and became a very very successful executive for Sony. He's a hardass and very pessimistic, but i can understand seeing how good me and my brother and sister have it....i can't imagine going what he went through. Very emotionally withdrawn though...which is tough to deal with. I wouldn't have my business sense without him though. I remember being like 8-10 years old helping him with his major marketing campaigns
I guess with any parents you gotta recognize what their good traits are and their bad traits. Try to see what you carried over, and eliminate the bad ones and let the good ones grow.

My dad is my only living parent but I want to be like him in some ways but not ion othrs. I like to be clean shaven and have short hair whereas he looks kinda like ZZ-top.

My mother is 79 - had 13 kids and is the most laid back easy going person I know - as a result of such.
My father was a terrible alcoholic - spent all his check on drink while mother was home with a house full of kids to feed - finally quit drinking and started putting some coin away and then ran off with his secretary.
I admire my mother - unfortunately - have a lot of my Father's charector.
