Pretty much, I must have been the only girl who hated watching little house on the prairie back in the 70s. Pa was a jerk.[/quote]

Weren't most dads jerks in those days? Pa wasn't a drunk, didn't cheat on Ma, didn't spend money recklessly, and tried. He may have been misguided, but he tried. [/quote]

He’s much worse in the books.  In the books you definitely get the impression he has massive adhd — he’s constantly uprooting them for some scheme he thinks will work but which never does.  Rereading the books as an adult, I felt bad for ma (even thought she’s pretty racist).  Interestingly, Laura basically almost never saw them as an adult and it doesn’t appear they even corresponded a lot.  I know people will say that’s because of money and distance and etc but my very poor relatives in the 19th century and early 20th still were able to see family sometimes.  Trains and mails back then were fairly affordable and much more functional than now.[/quote]
