My parents were quite liberal with us, always encouraging us to be our own person and be creative.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.
My parents were liberal intellectuals but even they expected me to stay at home and look after my younger siblings and do the housework.
If my parents had discouraged me, I would have turned out very differently. They raised me in an open-minded, liberal environment.
I grew up in a very liberal place.
My parents were admirers of President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Their parents and most of our relatives and neighbors were Republicans, so they were self-conscious in their liberalism and took it as emblematic of their ability to think for themselves.
My parents are creative on many fronts, and they pushed me to be that way, too. They wanted me to write, actually.
I think my parents were really smart parents. I think they were, actually, pretty progressive for the time. The one thing that they really wanted me to know is what makes me tick, what I am about, how I approach life. And I think what my parents really wanted for me was for me to be who I am.
My family were liberal with a small 'l' but passionately doers. I wanted to be a doer.
It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.
My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education.
