I think that atticus is a very good father to scout and jem. Sometimes he can be strict when he makes Mrs. Dubose decide the punishment for jem when he ruined the flowers, or he can be cool about things like when scout discovered that she liked to swear. Atticus didn't do anything really about it but when uncle jack came for Christmas he did not like it at all. "I don't want to here any words like that while i am here" (79). This shows that his style is layed back and he just wants to have fun with his kids and wants them to not feel like they are in trouble all the time.
Atticus is a way different parent than my parents are now. My parents wouldn't let me swear when i was 7 years old like scout can. He is also different because my parents would have decided the punishment for ruining Mrs. Dubose's flowers and not let her decide. I think that it would be kind of cool to have atticus as a parent because he seems more layed back and not so protective like my parents are.

i have to agree with you when you say that Atticus is a good father. He is also strict, but a good type of strict, which is what the kids need. Atticus lets his kids get away with things but he also holds down the fort when he needs to. I want a dad like Atticus cause you are right, he is ubberly layed back!
