Anna Pines

"Mark and Anna are the twin’s parents. While they still love Dipper and Mabel very much, neither of them handle Dipper’s change very well. They’re scared of their own son, and don’t do the best job of hiding their feelings. In light of this and some incidents at Mabel’s school, they ask the kids if they want to live with their Grunkle Stan when they are 15 (not because they want Dipper gone, but because they believe the twins will be happier there. They feel they’ve failed as parents). 

Their relationship with Dipper and Mabel varies as the kids and adults. Sometimes they get along fine, other times there are periods where things are very tense and Mabel and her parents do not talk (this happens more after the triplets are born). They aren’t cold or heartless, abusive or neglectful by any means; they just keep trying to deal with Dipper’s predicament and they often hurt their children one way or another in the process (however unintentional it is; they never purposely do something they know will hurt Dipper or Mabel). Despite the tension, they’re constantly trying to do what’s best for their kids and make them happy.

Mark and Anna love Dipper and Mabel.

But sometimes love isn’t enough."
