Mom = someone who can maintain her sense of rationale even when angry.

Dad = overreacting weirdo who believes that everybody is out to fuck him over.

Mom wins.

This is beyond horrible.

I think my mom has some form of echolalia, and it drives me insane. I prefer my dad but damn it all if I don't love them both.

I can't pick, and I'd feel horrible and guilty if I did. I'm so glad they never divorced.

they're both completely wacked out. my dad is less prone to needless worrying; my mom is less prone to needless anger. both are completely out of their minds - they hang out and watch whales and save turtles and roadie for florida rocker dudes every day. i'm going to have to go with "neither" - they're both irreplaceable, they both make me grin and laugh, and neither of them make any sense to me.

Grandmom

Well, Mom gave me an iPod for my birthday; Dad gave me a hammock and a .357 magnum--the first gun I ever shot.

Hmm . . .

Mom, 'cos she's like my best friend.

I sometimes get the feeling that our relationship isn't healthy because we are close, but then I think of people who don't speak to their parents at all.

I won't say for fear of one of my parents coming across this forum and getting their feelings hurt.

Yes, it would never happen... still, I'm that paranoid.

Oh shit, if they did read this, they'd already know I might possibly like one better than the other... I'm fucked.

Same here.
