I hope I covered every possibility.
C: No, on and off good/poor.
J: Oh...
Marvin: I don't have a good relationship with anyone.
C: And distant.
Marvin: Distant is the only way I like people.
J: Well, people could specify below.

As far as I'm concerned, my parents split up when I was 3 months old, and since then I have lived here in England with my mum, and my dad lives in San Fransisco in the USA. He visits me like... say, 3 times a year...
But I do know for one thing that they never got on. My mum originally liked some other guy, and they were together for years, until he died somehow. And she wanted me so she just got with Al (my potato -up of a dad) and they got married, had me, then split up very soon after.
I think my mum does a good job of raising me on her bill; she's never needed anyone's help. She's had many good jobs, mainly accountant and business studies, and she still copes with me.

I'm pretty much fine with my parents. Though I have periods where I get really mad at my family for no apparent reason.

Yeah, J, you didn't cover one: Nonexistant.
I don't have a real relationship with my parents, even though I talk to them all the time. I don't really tell them anything important, and it feels like they don't understand, anyway.
Actually, I KNOW my dad doesn't understand. He never finished high school. He is an official abusive idiot.
My mom also thinks she is my best friend, and happens to be terribly incorrect in that assumption. She needs to learn to be my mom, not attempt fruitlessly at being a "cool" mom...Or one of my friends. It'll never work out.
I voted good with one, and not-so-good with the other. Because nonexistant wasn't up there, and I suppose my mom relationship is considerably better than my dad relationship. And I didn't feel like voting "poor" because that doesn't really constitute to my feelings about our relationship.
Since Dad doesn't really talk, just utters incoherent grunts about how I need to play sports/get good grades/spend 'quality' time with him/play sports. Mainly play sports. He is a sports salesman, so basically because that is the only thing a Neanderthal like him can accomplish with reasonable success, he always wants me to play Varsity sports. Eh.
I'm done.

Ohhhhh right... now I see... this thread is about how YOUR relationship is with your parents, not how it is between them... ah... well...
As I said above (you may need to scroll up slightly) I don't really know my dad. And when he does come to visit me, once a blue moon, we don't talk much. We just... don't have anything in common; He likes newspapers, I like books. He likes to sleep all the time on the sofa... etc.
But my relationship with my mum is pretty good, and always has been. We promised we wouldn't ever lie to eachother or keep secrets, and that's been going good. I don't keep secrets from her because she knows when I am lying, and she tells me everything cuz she thinks I deserve to know.
Ah, well

Me: Do I have a good relationship with my parents? Mom: Sure. Dad: At least when your good. Me: -_- Gee, thanks. I hope I covered every possibility. C: No, on and off good/poor. J: Oh... Marvin: I don't have a good relationship with anyone. C: And distant. Marvin: Distant is the only way I like people. J: Well, people could specify below. Why did you let Marvin tag along? He's a drag.

Marvin: I'm sorry if I'm depressing you. I'm just going to turn myself off and sit in the corner.

I think I said poor with one good with the other which is usually true. It varies daily, as it varied which one I'm good with. Latley I just want to turn eighteen and leave.

J: I hate my parents most of the time (a good majority of the time). I'd go into more details, but M is on here. C: To be it one way, it's come to the point that J can't bear being in the same room as her parents. Marvin: I can't bear being in the same room with anyone. J: Once I broke down because my mum was talking to me and I was TRYING to have a few moments of peace and quiet and she wouldn't shut up so I screamed. A lot And screeched like a banshee. Marvin: People do that when I'm around. J: Of course, my mum took the family computer away, so I'm stuck in her room. C: J's computer addiction is so bad, she's developing carpal tunnel sydrome--and she's only 12 years old. Not to mention the headaches, poor eyesight, fried brain cells, memory loss due to fried brain cells...

I don't like saying rents. I don't know, that just really annoys me. Sorry that was a bit random. I'm an only child too discounting the doggies.
