Essay on My Parents [406 words #Sample 1]:
My mom and dad have been living happily for more than 20 years now. This
is a very hard thing to achieve if you are that different from each other, so
you should respect it.
First of all, they are very different physically. If you do not care
about more than 20 cm, the difference in their heights, you should feel
something about their body sizes and looks. My dad doesn’t care about his
looks. I mean it when I say it. He does nothing but complain about his belly.
His hands are awful. They are hardened and thickened by his work in the
carpenter business (yes, he likes dealing with wood and metal). On the other
hand, my mom does what it takes to look good. She cares about her skin, hands,
face, weight, etc. You should see them together, and then you will understand
what I mean better.
The next thing is their personalities. My dad is very unpredictable: he
changes his mind all the time. The weird thing is that these are not small
changes. One day he is at one extreme and the next day he wakes up at the other
extreme of the same idea. And these are not very bright ideas. Another thing
about him is that he is very hot-tempered. When he is angry (mostly because of
things that should be), you should run away. There is no way you can
communicate with him. Just flee. In contrast, my mom is emotionally very
stable. In contrast to my dad, she is optimistic, not pessimistic. She is
easygoing. She has certain limits, and as long as you don’t cross them, you can
usually talk to her. They have only one thing in common. They are both frugal.
They don’t like spending more than necessary or wasting the world’s resources.
That is a good thing.
The last point is their tastes in life. They are also very different in
this respect. While my dad isn’t happy with anything but boats, my mom can find
a good point in almost anything. My dad doesn’t like anything but boats, so
there is no need to spare time and lines for him. My mom likes good cars, food,
places, and movies. She is so lively.
All in all, they are my parents, and I love them. I actually consider
myself lucky because, with a dad like mine, you always have something to smile
at.
