Who did you grow up with?

[GTO_VR4]

I grew up with a single mother, how bout you guys?

 

[Picc84]

Mother and Father. I find allot anymore Seperate Parents. I can't count with fingers AND toes the amount of friends I have with split parents. Most are, only 2 or 3 have parents still togeather. Bad generation I sappose...

 

[mafia_boy]

Mother & Father until age 12 when my dad died.

 

[Barracuda]

I grew up with a mother and father, but I couldn't name one friend of mine who's parents aren't divorced or separated by other means.

 

[Terronium-12]

I grew up with my mom and two aunts.

Never knew my father, but that's going into an entirely different subject.....

 

[WallRunner]

Technically only my Biological Mother, however my "Step"-Dad has been involved from about a year after my birth, so I consider myself his child and therefore not a split family.

From,
Chris.

 

[Legendary]

Mother and Father and still growing up I suppose. I know countless friends with split parents it is unbelievable. I have less than a handfull of friends that actually have two parents.

 

[PeterJB]

Technically my mother and father until they separated when I was six, since then my mother.

 

[Alex.]

Mother and Father all the way 👍

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Mother and Father.

I'm 29, so they've been married for 32 years. Although not rare, its becoming increasingly uncommon around here now.

 

[Northstar]

Never knew my dad, only had my mom and other relatives. I got a step-dad when I was 10, but we never really bonded.

 

[Omnis]

I was raised by scientists in a laboratory.

 

[Driving Park]

Mother and father but know (present tense) many people that aren't.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Mother and father until 7, then mainly my mother and grandparents. That's 'cause MY DAD IS DEEEEAAAAD!!! But really, he is.

 

[GTO_VR4]

For some reason I was expecting the single mother option to take the lead. about 95% of my close friends that I grew up with, grew up with single mothers. Id like to see this poll get some more votes though.

 

[CDailey]

Mother and father until he died when I was 16. You could say I didn't actually grow up until after he died though.

 

[ND4SPD]

Grew up with my Mother and Father until I was 14 and my Mother decided to leave us. I'm 19 now living with my dad.

 

[Jetboy.]

Mother/step-father @ age 3. Moved in with my grandparents after family issues at 15.



Cheers
Jetboy

 

[Sharky.]

Grew up with mother and father until I was 13; father then left us. I'm now nearly 20, and life's been better ever since.

 

[Joel]

I had (have) both parents. But i see single parents (usually moms) a lot now.

 

[jedaye]

Still growing up with Mum and Dad. I know lots of friends with divorced parents. Feel sorry for them.

 

[daan]

I was raised by scientists in a laboratory.

And so it all becomes clear... 💡

 

[Boffin]

I have a mummy and a daddy and I love them very much indeed. They never married, but we live in one big happy household.

I know I should get more dependant now I'm 18, and people say I'm spoilt (talking about time spent on me - not money), but by golly do I appreciate it. I don't know where I'd be without either of them - but most people around my area have both parents...well at least most of my friends and stuff.

 

[Lucas]

So far, with my mother and my father. And for the looks of it, it will be like that until I'm old enough to get out of here (not that I'm in a hurry to do so).

For some reason I was expecting the single mother option to take the lead. about 95% of my close friends that I grew up with, grew up with single mothers. Id like to see this poll get some more votes though.

A few of my friends grew up in divorced homes, though most of them had step-parents. Most of my cohort came from homes containing both original parents.

My daughters have a larger portion of single-parent friends, but still nowhere near a majority.

 

[Omnis]

I had (have) both parents. But i see single parents (usually moms) a lot now.

Ooh, naughty boy.

And so it all becomes clear... 💡

 

[Joey D]

Grew up with my mom and dad but since they both worked full time my grandma watched me most of the time. Guess my upbringing was a result of all three of them.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

Mum and Dad have been married over 40 years now. My two best friends have parents who have been married for (?) years. My husband's parents, if they were still here, I'm sure would still be married. From my generation it's unusual for parents to have seperated, but my daughter's generation sees it as being normal (I'm divorced from her biological sperm donor). In a twist, she was cared for by her grandparents for three years (long story).

I think it's more normal nowadays for parents to seperate and kids to be brought up by single mums and step-dads. As long as the child is loved, that's all that matters

 

[TB]

My mom and dad will hit 50 years of wedded bliss in April. My wife and I are closing in on 11. At present, I see no reason why we won't make it to 50+, too.

 

[MP]

I grew up with my mother and father, until they divorced when I was about 12 or so. Then I lived with just my mum.

A couple of months ago I was at a small party with close friends, it turned out only one out of twelve of us had parents still married. Kind of scary to think how common it is now.
