I think there even was a group of parents who protested against there never being mom and dad in their TV shows (eg Hannah Montana)...And it's true, sometimes a missing parent can benefit the story, but often I feel like it's just very convenient there's no/a completely ignoring parent so that characters can just sneak out and save the world whenever they feel like it... :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227894711128590561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193438255559880183.post-40729767254846078872013-05-14T04:37:32.928-07:002013-05-14T04:37:32.928-07:00Thanks :)Thanks :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227894711128590561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193438255559880183.post-38310238287155922792013-05-14T04:31:30.369-07:002013-05-14T04:31:30.369-07:00Hi to you, too!

Of course that's how Disney rolls too. Up until Rapunzel (Tangled) Aurora was the only princess to have both her parents/mother. It'd be a matter of arguing if Mulan is a princess or not since she had both parents too. I didn't really consider her one like Disney tends to lately, Pocahontas--can't spell today!--I can make a bit of an argument for her being a princess since she's the cheif's daughter, but her mother was absent too.<br /><br />And while I don't always like the parents being absent or dead in YA, I am kind of hypocrite since the YA story idea I'm trying to write, amongst other ideas, has the mom dead. But it's one I tried writing years ago and she was already dead and I find that it benefits the story that way.<br /><br />Sometimes that missing parent allows our hero/heroine a strength they might not have had otherwise.<br /><br /><a href="http://jessica-agreatread.blogspot.com/2013/05/follow-friday.html" rel="nofollow">Here's my Follow Friday</a><br /><br />Have a <a href="http://jessica-agreatread.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">GREAT</a> weekend!<br /><br />Old Follower :)Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193438255559880183.post-973260439534446522013-05-10T11:57:51.436-07:002013-05-10T11:57:51.436-07:00Great reply, very thorough answers :D

Parents, no matter of both or just one of them very often just don't exist in YA and I find that authors are making it too easy for themselves that way. Especially since most of us readers do have at least one parent that does interfere in our every-day lives.
