Katie's Mother And Father (Continued)

I think maybe that Katie is closer to her dad, because the way she describes him is so ... admirable. "Our father is proud of us no matter what we do", Katie states. It kind of reveals the admiration she has for her father. She may also feel close to him because she thinks he doesn't judge her too much. Unlike her mother, Katie's father doesn't care if his daughters act manly. He only cares that they don't feel tied down, kind of like a modern dad in America.

Katie and Lynn's mother, though, is more old-fashioned, as I mentioned before. She is more into the works of how she grew up, which was probably not like her own daughters, and maybe she's trying to teach her daughters what she was taught. Doing this to her daughters make them a tad tied down, even Katie, so maybe that's why Katie isn't that close to her mom as much as she is to her dad.
