what role do parents play?

The role my parents play is trying to have successful kids. My dad goes to work and makes the money for the family and my mom stays at home making sure none of us are getting into trouble ( typical Mormon family ). My grandparents don't have such a big role on my life because they live in Arizona but when i lived in Arizona for the two years that they had a huge role on me. My grandmother would come and bring cookies every day and she would do a lot of things for me to show that she cares.
