Kaylee's parents were on the bottom of my list though. They had a clear goal in mind for what they expected of their daughters. Which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't sound like an absolute requirement. Anything less, and they were considered failures. I'll never forget our first dinner with them and how mean they were to me. Someone they barely knew. Noah said they were the stereotypical bad bible thumper that gave all believers a bad name.
I could only say that they were successful. I definitely didn't think well of them. I felt bad for Kaylee who was having a tough time with her parents and the indifference she was feeling from Marie. I could relate with my own birth family experience, but now I had no complaints. The Atkins were like the perfect tv family that I had imagined. Not 'perfect' in the sense that nothing ever went wrong and no one fought, but that they could have peaceful resolutions and keep good relationships with one another.
