If by weirdo or joker; you mean a crazed chainsmoking, alcoholic wife-beating, knife-throwing, child-abusing protestant fundamentalist, then yes, my dad is a total weirdo, and a joker at that. ^O^
My mom doesen´t counterbalance anything, i´m way more mature and collected in behaviour than she is, even now. She practices escapism like there´s no tommorrow, and cannot, by her own mind, be held accountable for anything.
Cool theory, though. :3 Maybe it holds partial truths, just under different circumstances than what was given to me, but i wouldn´t know that.

ummmmmmm are you serious? Maybe its time to call the police...
anyway, I think parents definately need to balance eachother out, or at least be different enough so the kids get a concept of both sides. My mom is a former hippie, and laughs at all kinds of stuff. She watches crap reality TV, works, and loves to travel.
My dad is retired, but was a government employee for like 38 years. He watches the history channel and serious stuff. Whereas my mom is lighthearted and fun loving, my dad is an idealistic romantic. That said, ever since I stopped being a mama's boy I have found myself enjoying my time with my dad a lot. His ideals are different and not practical, but outside of that he is a good mix of fun and seriousness.
So no, my dad is not a weirdo, but my mom is sensible (mostly).
