What are they from themselves - perfect parents? It is clear that the literature depicts them not often, because the most convenient lattice of the plot is "a bunny of sampling." But it is impossible at all without positive examples!
We did not take into account lonely parents or dads, nor moms, which strongly narrowed the list. Neither Melker with the "Saltkroke Island" nor Mom Jerry Darrell fell into it, although they are very, very cool. Here, who, in the end, remained.Chet Wizley
(J. Rowling, Garry Potter cycle)
Well, a completely non-spa couple. He serves do not understand who with a portfolio. She knits hellish sweaters, in the house eternal split, but why and their children and friends of children from them - the feeling of reliable support?
Minus: not all children managed.
Summer and Jessica
(Fr. Herbert, Chronicles of Dunes)
Minus: There were serious problems with the upbringing of the younger child. Although, in their circumstances, apologious.
Irena and Zhachek
(M. Musserovich, "Cellina, or the sixth sense")
Charming residents of more Soviet Poland, proud parents of two beauties ... a little scattered, well, how to say - a little ... catastrophically scattered. But loving and kind. So you would be able to settle her pregnant classmate at the request of her daughter? Or take an active part in blackmail and seizure hostages, in order to force a classmate another daughter to pull up in school?
Minus: Not in time asked about relationships with boys!
Sootkin and Klaas
(Sh. De Bosier, "Legend of Unelenspigel")
Pedagogical principles of Clas are voiced exactly on the first page of the book, where he shows the newborn Sun. These parents had a chance in difficult times to raise a child with a severe form of hyperactivity and, as now it is customary to speak psychiatrists, "protest behavior". Rise in such a complex guy respect for parents and civilian courage - very cool.
Minus: the child they are harsh.
Parents Alan
(Alan Marshall, "I can jump through the puddles")
Another story about how a difficult task was facing ordinary people. Australian depth, forever decorating after polio, a boy (hello to anti-recruit). On the day before the difficult operation, dad brings the boy for the sinus of a live puppy. Touch. And after a few years, when the need for a duel arises before the teenager ... Father will advise "Try the sticks - you have a strong hand with a stroller." And my mother clogs and will not forbid.
Minus: If today you let go (even walking) the child in the flight with the logger, you can not understand the guard.
Mom and Pope eight (no, ninter) children
(Anna-Katrina Westley "Mom, Dad, Grandma, nine children and a truck")
It's just good and good people who live as they can. They do not have enough time to cultural life. But to help neighbors and even random passers-by - it turns out, apparently, involuntarily. So the children from them get very nice.
Minus: what youngest children are dressed, would have any more questions for the custody than the methods of two previous families.
Sibylla Shem and Samuel Wems
(T. Pratchett, Cycle "Flat World")
Two strong professionals who have entered into marriage are far from young. To parents, they relate more than seriously - not so much dad comes to the child every evening, in any situation, to read the book for the night, even being obsessed with ancient demon. There is reason to believe that Sam Jr. will grow a good person.
Minus: Without magic, so late the child is rarely healthy.
Mom and Pope Moomin Troll
(Tuva Jansson, cycle about mumy trolls)
Actually, there are suspicions that this couple is professional parents, in the best sense of the word. Family orphanage. In addition to his own son, children and adolescents constantly live. Standing Sniff, Crumb MJ (which is sometimes visited by an adult sister of Mumla), snarles (more, of course, frokene snorkeh - the eldest eagerly lived with them and entered Baumanka and went to experiment independently), still cares for the stray teen of Snusmumric, and the poor invisible Ninni and Almost led to their home therapy. And, you know, it helped.
Minus: not everyone can find a pearl necklace in chimney, and working parents hard to pay so much attention to children.
