Very good.....I talk to my Mom at least five days a week.
I admire them.
I live in a Roseanne episode.
Complicated.
Epic coolness
I'm not close with my father or step-mother and things can be tense with my stepmother. Things with my mother are much better now that boundaries have been set, things have been great the last few years and I hope it continues to improve.
It can be great when we don't need anything from each other. The first word that comes to mind is stressful
I respect them, but not very close.
The older I got the better relationship. I wish I could talk with my Dad again
Eh, it's... unstable with my dad but my mom and I have a great relationship
It's pretty good. I keep things from them to keep the peace. I don't want that with my kids. I'm a grown woman and should be allowed to have tattoos - my husband is a tattoo artist! But I hide most of them from my parents just to appease them.
Good. Wonderful. I love my parents.

Ok with my Mom. Terrible with my Dad. I wish it was better with my Mom, but she has issues, and I don't know how to change it. As sad as it sounds, I don't really care about my Dad.
