You're all about Linda and the Pines parents,but what about Linda's parents?. What are they like?.

Yaaas, I knew you'd come in clutch! XD Linda's parents are..interesting. XD They made their own wealth and are very good with money, but they also believe in FUN. XD They'd always take their kids out to amusement parks and fully believed in EXPERIENCES. Because those were things they couldn't afford to have when they were kids. They're both very generous, hardworking people, but definitely partake of certain...relaxation methods, if you catch my drift. XD They encouraged their kids to safely experiment with things, as long as they were both there in case something went wrong. They were a bit progressive for their time, especially having grown up during the last years of the Great Depression, and then World War II. They still had habits of saving EVERYTHING. They reused and recycled containers and passed those habits down unintentionally. Sherman actually had to break Linda of this when they moved in together because her stuff was overtaking the apartment. XD The recycling was part of how they saved money, though.

They also believe in saving money and things for the future because you never know when your world could be taken from you suddenly (product of WWII( but they also believe in living your life to the fullest for the same reason.

Judy has MULTIPLE scrapbooks of pictures of her family and kids, as well as things like movie theater tickets, event admission tickets and postcards from places they went, even if it was local because she wanted to preserve the memories and have physical evidence of them because alot of these things from her childhood got lost during the war. As she gets older, this includes pictures of the grankids and experiences with them, too. She LOVES showing the grandkids pictures of their parent, aunts and uncles when they were little.

Ed and Judy have a very large, comfortable bunker beneath their house with enough room for them and their immediate neighbors, and it's stocked well enough for 15 people to be comfortable for at least 5 years.

Both of them believe in getting good educations and Judy expressed the difficulties of trying to get an education as a woman and growing up poor, so they both vowed that they would do their damndest to send all their kids to college and suppliment their learning at home with anything they thought they knew enough about to teach.

Ed's more of the disciplinarian of the two. His methods may be considered a bit harsh by today's standards, but they were a helluva lot better than what he was subjected to as a kid. He never beat his kids. He does not talk about his feelings often, being a product of the times and also having learned to push his own discomforts aside for the good of others. It is EXTREMELY rare to see him cry, but he is the most vulnerable with Judy. He does not allow his children to see him upset when they are growing up because he doesn't want them to see him as weak. That being said, he DOES encourage his kids to talk to him because he never had anyone he could express himself with in that way without being called "selfish" and wants his kids to have a different experience.

He tells them often that he loves them (which was a HUGE struggle at first because in his house, that was just never said) and he tells his kids in no uncertain terms that if anything happens to them, he'll burn the entire planet down. He'll always be there for them if they need him.

Her parents did have to fight their frugality instincts to give their kids the experiences they never had though. XD But they are VERY loving people and now that they're older, they're much more willing to spend money at the drop of a hat on other people and really just want to spoil people they care about. Linda also gets that from them. My GOD when the grandkids start coming, they spoil those kids rotten. XD
