Actually, no I'm not. Both sets of my grandparents, or well all three sets of them were born and raised in America. And as far as I know their parents, my great-grandparents were too. My mom seems to be more understanding when my dad isn't around, but whenever he is around she acts more like him. For the most part, I think my dad is the way he is because he was raised as a strict Catholic in a Catholic community and also because of the drinking. It's something I don't discuss with most people, the drinking. Ummm, my mom wasn't raised Catholic. She became Catholic when she married my dad. Another thing I noticed in high school was that since I went to a very small school, and most everyone was Catholic, they would drink and party on weekends. I didn't and well couldn't have even if I wanted too! My parents have always been very strict. I didn't go out much with my friends, didn't really date except for Prom my sophomore year, and really didn't have much of a social life. I was okay with it most of the time because I didn't know what I was missing. One the friends I made when I first came to college, remarked on how open-minded I was compared to where I was from and my family/parents. She went home with me and was amazed to say the least. She is from a really big community and school. Her mom is awesome too.
