Sadly, I think Nancy Reagan loves anything her little boy does. As great a President as he was I don’t believe that the Reagans were very good parents. Michael Reagan is not her son and I think that has always been a problem with Nancy. Just my humble opinion!
“As great a President as he was I don’t believe that the Reagans were very good parents. “
I have always said that. I think they were so in love with each other that the children felt excluded. I knew a couple like that once, so wrapped up in each other and little time or emotional connection with their daughter. She did all kinds of negative things to get their attention. I see her in Patty and Ron.
I have the same impression you do. Ronald Reagan was a distant, aloof father; he just wasn’t into it. He and Nancy were much more into each other. The children were on their own. It’s nice of Nancy to say this about Ron though; very Mom-like.
