My dad and I are a lot alike. We're both quiet, patient loners. We enjoy being the 'wise' one and giving advice. We're both lazy, but we love doing the things that nobody else can do. We are stern and serious, but we love to flirt and are sharply witty. I think my Dad is a good example of a hands-off parent. We've become close just by simply respecting eachother.
His parenting style was always just to watch, wait and listen. He never imposed himself on me unless I really fucked up. He let me decide what I wanted to do, offered a few suggestions, but gave me his full support when I decided. I would like to do the same with my kid.
