I think Atticus is actually a good loving father that cares about his kids but doesn't express it as like I love you so much. No he actually is about teaching his kids that he loves them through lessons throughout the book. For example: Atticus has the talk with Uncle Jack about the whole trial of who he is defending and during the conversation Scout is listening and Atticus is saying all this stuff he hopes Scout and Jem will to do stay strong during this. "I just hope Jem and Scout come to me for their answers, instead of listening to the town."
"I never figured out how Atticus knew I was listening, and it was not until years later he had wanted me to hear every word." pg.(88,89). I think that shows he can get his kids to listen more closely when they think it's an adult conversation so they're more interested.
I think my parents are different that Atticus and his way of handling things. First off my parents are more direct and if they want me to know something they tell me so I can just know it I guess. But also my parents still find time to talk to me even if they are swamped. Not that Atticus doesn't it's just that he just gets swamped but even if that's the case with my parents they're always trying to give me advice or help me with my problems.
