    i was raised in a two parent home, i turned out fine but my sister is a nut case, my parents fought a lot and my dad worked a swing shift so we had to be quiet all day, if we made noise we got in a shitload of trouble.......

    two parent home...four kids!

    all of us are so different it is quite amusing but most enjoyable. No-one conforms to the ideals of "the family unit and the expected results of a complete one" though...which is great by me!!

    :D

    yeah...but after four kids I am sure that they have a lot more in common with each other than with other people...

    relationships can be strange as they go along!

    I grew up in a 2 parent house hold......they got a divorce shortly after we moved out. It was for the better though. My Dad would give his life for my Mom and my mom wanted the world handed to her on a platter. -She was a bitch.....and cheeted on my Dad!!!!! I will never forgive her for that!

    I grew up in a single parent house hold, but that single parent had a break down, so I guess you could say I was raised by the telly and people around me... I think I've benefitted from it, a normal childhood wouldn't have suited me!

    Two parents, they married five years before having me and are still together.
    Two children as well, me and my brother.
    It was a pretty normal middle class, suburban upbring. Pretty boring, but at least we turned out okay.

    Two parents til I was 8, after that just my mom. I think I have more respect for women, becuase most of the time it has just been my mother and me. I dont know where I would be today if it was not for her!!! 'cuse me while I go give her a hug.

    A two parent home. But I turned out okay in SPITE of it!

    We were also a two income family. Loose translation: I was alone ALOT!!!!!!!
    And, mine were older parents. My Sibs were already grown and had Families of thier own! When I say "Alone", I mean it!

    How about "other"?

    I was raised in a two parent home for 11 years, until my parents divorced, and then I was raised in a one parent home with various losers who tried to act like a father to me.

    Two parents. My dad was sick a lot when I was growing up but I had two parents. I'm not sure how important that is. But anyway my parents were married 52 years when my dad died.

    2 parents... my parents started dating when my mom was 13 and my dad was 15, got married when she was 21, and had me when she was 29. So that puts them at being married for 25 years but being together over 30. It's not really a happy relationship though, never really has been that I can remember, especially now that both of my parents haven't been able to find work in 2 years.

    They have often told me that their whole relationship was really a mistake because they never dated anyone else. Which basically translates to them running off all my boyfriends because they "don't want me to ruin my life by getting too attached". *great*.

    Two parent....

    Until I turned 15, then they divorced. That was murder on me. I was a freshman in High School (I hated High School), and it was just so hard to adjust to it. I have two brothers and a sis, and we've never been the same since. Sad story.

    3 parents..well sorta. My Mom and Dad divorced when I was 4 and my Dad re-married right away. I was raised by my Dad and stepmom for alot of my childhood and lived with my Mom for awhile as well. I have 4 siblings and 3 parents and I couldn't be happier!

    Single parent..............

    ..............but my Mum is fantastic and did a great job of raising me and my twin sisters. My Grandparents lived three houses down the road and helped wherever they could too. I still saw my Dad every other weekend but my Mum did all the hard work and we are all very grateful. She's a star!

    Love and peace x
