Who do you prefer, your mom or your dad?

Or do you like both? Or do you dislike both? Just describe them I guess - good, bad, okay, nice, mean, overreacting, nagging, anything.

I like my dad way more. And I find I'm a lot more like him. He's really nice, he sees situations from an objective view and is able to analyze them well, he's loving, he's helpful, he's fun, he's just so many awesome things.

Meanwhile, half the time my mom is nice, half the time she is just so annoying. She overreacts so much. This past weekend, we planned to leave the house at 12:30. I had everything ready to leave, and at 12:20, I was in the shower, and suddenly I hear my mom yelling at me from outside the bathroom saying we were late and ordering me to open the door (the door was locked). I quickly got out of the shower, listened to my mom yell at me and tell me how I'm always late, and tried to calm her down and apologize politely. I just stood there for five minutes (until 12:25) listening to my mom yell at me and agreeing with everything she said while just talking to her calmly and saying sorry. Then I got ready, and by 12:28 I was ready to leave. My mom wasn't ready until 12:35. And then as she was driving, she randomly started being happy and nice and actually apologizing for yelling at me. But when she's nice, I still don't actually like her that much. I used to, but now she mostly just annoys me (as much as I hate to say that, because I do still love her). Anyway, she does sh*t like that ALL THE #*!@ing TIME haha. Once I was working on an essay, and she came to check up on me and ask me what I'd done, and I told her I'd done an introduction. She yelled at me for a whole hour telling me that you can't write an introduction before writing the body. I sent her the introduction I'd written, and she didn't bother reading it until 3 days later, and when she read it she liked it and was impressed. She pretended that she never told me off for writing it (I didn't bring it up, and neither did she). And those are just two examples off the top of my head of what she can be like. She used to be a lot worse, too, when I was really little, and now she's better but still overreacts so much.

Anyway, enough about me lol. How bout you guys? Describe your mom and your dad. How do you like them? (Or how did you like them if you don't really see them often anymore.) What were they like when you were a teenager? I'm just wondering :)
