In a sense, yes.
Whatever they did to make a mess of their own lives, I learned from, and avoided doing the same things.

Well besides the rocky marriage they had for 17 years they taught me alot of good moral and values, what i need in a spouse. In the school area though that was a fail. My mom wanted me to be honor roll, scholarship, etc and i just wanted to pass. My dad dropped out.

In some ways they were. But they married really young and hadn't quite grown up yet.

My mother was absolutely amazing. I feel very lucky to have received so much love, compassion, empathy, encouragement, and guidance. Everything that makes me who I am I owe to my mother and I will never forget that.
My father. Well, he cheated on my mom.

As with all parents;
In some things but not all

As far as parents are supposed to be, my parents were indeed role models (but they fought a lot, that is the only thing I don't like).
They are hardworking, honest, respectful, kind, helpful, giving, supportive (mostly), with a good moral values, etc. etc.
So yes, they are good role models.
When you were young, who was your role model/hero?

Who is your role model? A celebrity, family member, author, friend, mentor, teacher, boss, etc. Why?
