I was always jealous of most of my friends parents.
Mine were fine as parents, but we never got close because they’re Baptists and I rejected their church as a teen. I self censor a lot around them. Which is tiring, so I don’t try to see them more than a couple times a month.
Most of my friends, their parents took up more of a close friend role I noticed in our 30’s.
Edit; I guess it bothers me more now because I know they’re not around for much longer.
