Any tips on writing parent characters for children/teen characters? Or parents who are soon to have children. Even a single parent. Can be bad parents or good.

I didn't have the best parents and cant remember to have a reference to go on.

Here's one based on me, an absent father who doesn't give a f*k about his kids. Never wants to see them, never sends presents for birthday or Christmas all they ever get are messages on social media. And god forbid if he ever paid a penny maintenance. Turns out at the end of the story he did do all these things but his ex the kids mother just lied about it all the time and took money off them from their jobs to help pay for their food etc, meantime she isn't paying the mortgage off she blows the money on red wine and Bingo.
Got enough material yet or do you want some more?
