How was your "brought up"? was it hard/fair/good/excellent?

In retrospect ,my childhood is not so hard but either so easy.I was born in the countryside and our family lives on farming.I have not done much farming work.The thing I take as a pity is that I have not been able to get enough books to read.If I had enough to read,I might have developed a habit of reading widely and gained a host of knowledgel.

I am the only child in the family, so my parents gave their love to me all at once. They were both working before, and they really give me everything that they can. Sometimes, I regretted on many things that I done stupidly before, and NOW, I am trying to patch the faults, and start all over again. My "brought ups" just fair, nothing extraordinary. Hopefully, someday, somehow, I could do something out of ordinary for my family.

I would say my bringing was good. I have an older brother. May be my family was not rich, there was many items I did not get, but it was good education etc.

I had a good childhood. I had good parents. I grew up in a small town in Georgia (USA). I grew up in the 1980's and I was a "latch-key kid." Both my parents worked full-time jobs. My dad often worked two jobs trying to make our lives a little better. My sister is nine years older than I am. She got married when I was still young (sixth grade I think), so it was almost like I was an only kid for a while. I had responsibilities and chores I was expected to take care of, such as washing dishes, cutting the grass, and doing some of the laundry. I was rewarded with an allowance when I did these things, and if for some reason I did not get them done, I was punished. I have no regrets about my childhood. We were not rich, and I had to do some work at times, but overall, it was good. The fact that my parents were usually not around meant that I had to learn to do things for myself. Personally, there are some thing I should have done differently, but other than that, I had a good life growing up.

W was( my brothers and I) brought up quiet average and fair not enough wealthy but not poor , our father gave us every thing we need , even the house where I am living now

My brought was good. Despite poverty my parents offered me every chance to have goo education. I did not utilize this opportunity to the fullest. That is another story.

I grew up in a very hardworking, conservative type family, with good values. Where I grew up was on a dairy farm in a little farming community (where everybody knows everybody else and helpful to each other.) We were definitely not wealthy, and often had to scrape by. But because of that, we learned how to help each other, and make do with what we had. My childhood years were spent working very hard. I'd get up in the morning, go out and milk cows, then shower and go to school. After school, I'd change, go out and clean the barns, eat supper, milk cows again, and then shower and do homework and go to bed. It was a hard childhood because of the work, but there was so much love and I think that's what counts most!

Hi there! Great of you to start the initiative of getting to know other member of mylot! Well, I am from the Philippines and we are actually belong to the middle class. I am the eldest among three girls, my parents have a small business while me and my youger sister is working. Our youngest will be graduating this year. I hope she finds a job as soon as possible. .

As an only child, I think I was fairly brought up. The most common misconception of being an only child is that they've always been spoiled. In my case, sometimes they do that but most of the time they don't. If I've been always spoiled, I would've probably own all those material things that I really wanted. They've taught me a lot of values in life and even though I'm too stubborn to listen, I still owe them.

Mine is different.My family isnt that conservative.We even flow with the modern life,!hehe. Anyways,I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers,Were seven (7)in all if youll count.My mom is just in the house,doing household chores,we also help her whenever we are vacant.My Dad has a job before but now,he's staying in the house helping mom.My brothers and sisters are the ones who help us in he finances. I really thank them for that,I know someday I can repay them.

Hi substance..I think I was fairly brought up.My family was too a conservative one and my father gave me ethics which I will always remember.I am the only child of my parents so in future I hope to fulfill their massive expectations... happy mylotting..

I am too from a conservative background! Even though brought up in a poor background, it helped me a lot to develop my personality to fight the problems with sincere efforts and with a "never feel die" attitude towards the life and problems posed by it. I love my childhood days even today as it made me a stronger person.

I like this discussion. I feel bonded to you mylotters. Though i'm new here, i feel very welcomed. Anyway, about what you asked, I am in the same position as you in terms of being vrought up in a conservative environment, i think it's the cultural thingy going on here in my country, as it, being a multi racial country, all the races calls for a conservative behaviour. My parents are working, though my mum currently isn't, she was before, my life is no where near luxurious, i can say it's moderate and i am satisfied with what i have. I'm thankful for the roof above my head, the food i eat and an education. Actually there are a lot of things to be thankful for even if i do not lead a luxurious life. Of course it would be great to try the luxurious life, just once.
