I get along with both of them fine, but am glad I moved to a different state. Lately my mom's been very helpful with the baby, though obsessive, and my dad has hardly seemed to notice he's a grandfather now. Of course I'd prefer the happy medium that doesn't exist.
I show my art and music to my dad and he's mostly polite about it even though it's far from his thing. I don't show any of it to my mom because she would 1) be bothered by it almost no matter what and 2) probably say something rude and/or discouraging. Oddly though, if I have a real problem in life, she's the one I would more likely turn to.
My relationship with them both is quite different from many people I know, because they stayed married until I turned 30 and then got divorced and started new lives. I actually got divorced 2 years before they did, which was really odd. I think they basically waited until I finally got a college degree to split up as I was the whole reason they ever stayed together to begin with.
