[quote=Anonymous]My dad was Army for 30 years. We lived in Europe and he traveled a bunch, for weeks at a time. But when he was home, he was SUPER present and involved in my life. He volunteered for every field trip and girl scout event and attended every riding lesson and softball game. Braided my hair and tucked me in every night. I remember holding his hand and skipping across the PX parking lot with him in full uniform. I have two siblings, we each are convinced we are his favorite. My mom was a SAH and more high-strung and "less" fun. I don't think this was because she had to care for us more and do the heavy lifting, though; I think she's just a less whimsical, happy-go-lucky person. She's also extremely self-sufficient and effective. She certainly didn't defer to my dad. This adage of our teen years sums it up best: "Confess what you did to Dad before Mom finds out." I think this would have been the same if we weren't a military family. [/quote]
