Taylor and Sarah's parents were first mentioned by Taylor in the video First Video (I know, lame title) -- or rather, their mother was mentioned. Taylor's father wasn't discussed until her second video blog. The two are currently separated, having done so in early 2007.

Background

According to Taylor, their mother is really aggressive about sports. She constantly pushes Taylor to be the best to such an extreme that she considers phrases such as "it's not important that you win, it's how you play the game," or "All that matters is that you had fun," to be loser talk. Sarah describes her as one to drive her crazy and that she, "would be a lot happier if I was gone. Vanished. Good riddance."

Their father, on the other hand, is reportedly embarrassed by his ex-wife's antics, and would actually prefer watching Taylor's games from the car. According to Taylor, Sarah and her father saw things eye-to-eye and got along "like peas and carrots." Sarah, on the other hand, describes their father as being obsessed with Taylor as well, suggesting that all they did together as a family was take "Taylor to do soccer drills at the park." It was later revealed that the girls' parents separated because of their father's "mid-life crisis" involving a young lady around the age of 19. Taylor says that consequently, her mom thinks she has license to fool around with 20-something men from the nearby community college. She even flirts with Jonas, much to his embarrassment and Taylor's displeasure.

Sarah and her mother had a talk in which Sarah's summer plans about a roadtrip were brought up. As Sarah reunited with Daniel and Jonas days later, it is safe to assume that their mother agreed. Not long after, Taylor had an arguement with her mother, and Taylor told her mother that maybe she should "get out of the house for a while and spend the summer in California with Sarah." To her surprise, her mother agreed, and told to to go ahead and pack. Taylor is shocked by how much her mother has changed from when she was a "uptight, strict soccer mom".

After Bree's death, Sarah dating a bunch of guys in order to take her mind off of Daniel. To her dismay, she discovers that her mother has seduced one of her dates and that they are going out. Sarah is happy that he's not as young as her previous boyfriend, though he is still in his twenties. Her mother's actions make Sarah realize that she is doing the same thing as her mom: throwing herself at guys in order to cope with a broken relationship (Taylor tells them at one point that "You and Mom deserve each other").
