Remember that Jeannette's dad tried to pimp her out and that her mom bought chocolate for herself while her children starved.

Yes I recall. What point are you trying to make?

You... wrote questions. On your post. These are answers to two.

It’s not clear to me which questions your answering since each question is about comparing the two experiences, which your statement doesn’t do. Obvious all of the parents are pretty terrible in their own ways, which is implicit in the questions.

The first part of my sentence implies that Jeannette's dad committed the worse action and is therefore "the bigger POS", the second part implies the same about her mother.

I agree, though interestingly I would still prefer to have him as my dad than I would Gene Westover. I feel like he at least has some redeeming qualities, whereas Gene Westover has basically none.
