My parents divorced when i was 7, my mom had custody of me but i still remained close to my father and saw him frequently (still to, and ill be 19 in march). When they first seperated my mother used to ask me 'who do you love more, me or daddy?' and id respond with something along the lines of 'how could you ask me that, are you stupid? im 7, im a child, dont ask me that'. then over the years my moms health deteriorated (she was ODing on painkillers) so my grandma was the one who looked after me and she has dementia so that was .. an interesting childhood. i grew up very antisocial and had a lot of problems with attending school, to the point where child services tried to take me away .. i ended up moving out into my boyfriends house when i was 17. i still feel like i havent experienced the things that young people should experience, my social anxieties held me back from completing school so no graduation, no prom.. etc.. so i wish somebody would have made me live with my father instead of my mother because he would have been an actual parental figure instead of my mom's laying on the couch all day and my grandma's "you wear black so you are the devil".

I wouldn't call my up bringing 'right', but I turned out alright, and that is what matters.

I am one of the lucky ones. I had a very stable childhood with brilliant loving parents. I'm not saying they were perfect, we had hard times but they both worked hard to ensure me and my sister were always well fed and clothed well.

I guess I would say they brought us up, the best way they could, with what they had. It certainly could have been handled better, that's for sure, but we all became mature, responsible loving adults with good kids. We chose not to become our parents.

My mom is the best person I know. On the other hand my dad has made a few mistakes in his life. They got divorced when i was four. But aside from that, I think both have done a great job in raising me to be the person I am today. Taught me morals, discipline, respect, how to think right, what to look out for, everything. I'm eternally grateful.

I had a great childhood. i had both parents and we had the Leave it to Beaver type family. my dad worked and my mother stayed home and took care of my brother and myself. we were never in trouble, simply because we knew that our mother did not catch us, our dad would. I had great parents. i was raised in a homely atmosphere and my parents did an excellent job. my wife and i have used this method to raise our children and their children the same. I guess it means that good parents pass it on to their children and so on. Would not have changed a thing.

They did the best they could. I was a quiet, introverted child. So they didn't really have to "Do" anything, they just made sure that I didn't get myself killed, and let me figure out the rest for myself. On the other hand, they never talked down to me or treated me like the kid I was. Which has really helped me elvolve a little and develope my social skills. Other than that, the best thing they did was bring me up in a safe, tolerant, mature, unusual environment. I was brought up in a very community setting. I spent my childhood in a large industrial building full of artist colonies, jewelers, painters, sculpters, and just plain weirdos. I spent alot of time talking to these wonderfully creative people, and I think that that really helped me nurture my mind and spirit, being able to grow up in such a supportive, creaivity-nurturing little mini-community like that. So the best thing my parents did for my upbringing was to recognise when I was ready to intereact on my own and be a real person, instead of talking down to me and holding me back to what was expected of me. The best thing they ever did was to just do nothing. And let me be me, instead of holding me back. That's how I got to be who I am now, by spending my childhood being seen as an equal by the adults around me.

I think that's really helped my level of maturity as I grew up.

Yeah they brought me up right till my mom was remarried ,then it was all over.Once my brothers were born then everything went to hell.I just wish i was treated as equal as them.

My parents brought me up with a lot of love and carreness.They showed me how to find my way..and to choose what is good or bad..

My parents brought me up really great. Good morals, and to love myself as a am, I couldn't have had better parents.
