My mother used to be pretty blunt
She wasn’t the most affectionate, motherly type. But I could always rely on her to give me straightforward answers.
My father was, and still is, always very pleasant, and not wanting to cause friction or worry with seemingly controversial statements
He’s very intelligent and book smart, so as I’d gotten older, I figured he was just trying to give me answers that he thought wouldn’t upset me. I eventually ended up figuring it out from a book in my elementary school library. The book was Where Did I Come From, by Peter Mayle.
Ma had no time for sentimental or florid explanations
Pop just wanted me to be happy
My mom also warned me about STDs
My dad was right to strict at times
My ex-boyfriend had something going on with an older woman–my high school teacher’s friend. And I found out about it through my high school teacher herself. Oh well. We would eventually leave for the USA anyway: land of Johnny Depp, and that guy from Teen Witch.
Both my parents are hard-working people who went through a lot. So I can understand this sentiment
Despite their difference, they were extremely supportive parents who were there for us all the way
