Who are the best and worst parents on the show?


Best: Wayne and Pam Fields, Ashley Marin. They actually seem to care about their children! Expecially Wayne and Pam.

Worst: ELLA AND BYRON! Seriously, they are the worst. They freak out (rightly!) about Ezra, but they don't DO anything about it. When Ezra stops teaching they suddenly were totally cool with Ezria. Um okay, he isn't your daughter's teacher anymore but she is STILL a minor!!! So gross. Sooooo gross.

Veronica always seems to try her best and be there for Spencer though there were a lot of problems with her seeming to side with Melissa. However, her heart seems to be in the right place.

Wayne ... a godsend. He was so sweet and understanding. He did as best he could to listen to Emily. He really seemed to love his family and did as much as he could to be there for them as well as lead Emily in the right direction with a good work ethic and good morals.

Pam's a good egg. She learned to be accepting of her daughter's sexuality after having such a hard time. She definitely knows how to throw down when she needs to especially after Mr. McCullers wanted to be pain.

Ella was legitamately chill at first. I liked her, but once she started coming around to Ezra and Aria's relationship after being against it at first, kind of turned her sour for me.

Byron ... was never a fan of his especially after finding out about his affair with a student. I found him to be quite a jackass with him using his daughter to lie for him about his affair. He did score points with me for being so against the relationship between Ezra and Aria, but again he lost them the moment he came around to the relationship itself.

Kenneth .. vile. He had so many issues and it all started with Charlotte. He seemed to try, but he failed on a massive scale. I think he did try when Alison got back, but it all disappeared at the drop of a hat.

Tom .. this was how I connected a bit to Hanna in the beginning. He does as he pleases and seems to see no problems from anyone. He sides with his current family instead of Hanna and does anything and everything to disgust me in his parenting skills or lack there of.

Ashley .. sweet, caring, and compassionate. She would do anything to keep her daughter out of trouble which might be a problem in itself because it'll show you can do anything and find a way out of it by using sex. She wants to make sure Hanna was cared for and I have to admire that.

Jessica .. really don't know what to say about this one. She taught Alison how to lie and how a really good lie could be convincing enough to get her out of whatever trouble she landed in. I get the feeling she was trying, but went about it in the wrong way.

Peter just needs to do one thing for everyone and wrap it up. End of story. He cheated on his wife and always seemed to cover for one daughter more than the other. He seems to care in his own way, but it seems more one sided. He has done nice things for Spencer, but there felt like some strings were attached to the niceties he had done for her.

I had not considered this before but you might be right. They were the only parents that figured that maybe the statistics of being in a small town where somebody disappears/dies every couple of months aren't too much in their favor.

LOL that's so true. I remember when everyone on here cheered when Paige's parents actually cared that she was in danger.

"When life gives you lemons"
Jessica D: sleep with their fathers and have secret lemon childrenĀ

Best- Wayne Fields; so calm and reasonable.

*side note: I could listen to that man talk for days!

Worst- Tom Marin (the man is just plain cruel)
