Dad never did but they divorced when I was 9. Mom was always the one encouraging me to go further, telling me that I was smarter than this.
She never set a limit on what I could do or told me X was good enough; her constant message was that I was brilliant and that she would move heaven and earth for me (yeah :P)
It worked wonders though. I graduated school early with a 4.3 and could have had a shot at Dartmouth if the art school hadn't rejected me.
Did your parents put expectations on you?

They offered to help with tuition but I refused.
