Did you have a happy childhood ?

I had an awesome childhood! Even i was born in a village but shifted to the city within i was 1 year old. But i remember visiting my village in every vacation. And most of our gatherings and social functions used to happen in our village! I remember this incident....I was around 6-7 then. There are so many monkeys in our village. And the village kids used to play with a thing called "GULTI" in bengali (it is a thing used for hitting with pebbles). We climbed up a tree one day and one guy was trying to hit a monkey with it. Obviously the monkey tried to jump from one tree to another. And it wass indeed jumping. I got so influenced seeing the monkey that i made up my mind to jump from that tree to the another. And, as common sense says, i fell down and broke my head right in the middle and was bleeding profusely! There was no doctor in my village that time (not even now). Everyone in the family got so tensed. Finally somehow they managed something (i don't remember how). Even today i miss my life in the village! I had a thrilling childhood there. I even got beatings for being naughty but i guess everyone gets it and the one who dosen't is spoiled. I can never regret my childhood! It was so much calm and there was tension of this world! I wish i never grew up! I spent maximum of my childhood with my grandmother in the village! The smell of farming, the smell of greens was just out of the world!

Hi, sincere4, Well, according to the common concept of childhood we have either happy childhood or an unhappy one. Basing on this people say they had a great childhood and some hard. The fact is that no one's of us had a happy childhood. What you had in your childhood? Virtually nothing. Going to school, doing daily chores, and the company of the childhood playmates. All we had was a terrible childhood that we were dependent on our parents, no mistake, nothing that a child really enjoyed. The rules set up by our parents and more precisely by our society always kept us subordinate. The admonition, the inability to act ourselves added to our suffering. But the irony is that we were/are not aware of these factors. Following the common concept my childhood was both happy and sad. Or to put more emphasis on I had a painful childhood. Another paradox is that we were not aware of these controls that cut our ways and see only the nice things that made us not to cry.

I was an only child until the age of fifteen when my sister came along. Sadly our parents have never been emotionally equipped to be good parents and brought us up in a very negative and abusive environment. My sister and I are close and we are mothers ourselves now. We may not have had the happiest childhoods but at least we are ensuring our little girls do!

hello friend! OH so sad to know that.No i did not have a happy childhood because my fathers was not with us he was stay in out side of our country.when i was 15th then my father come and stay with us.we stay with my aunt's family they are not so good.we were faces so many problem that time.but now everything is good.i love my family so much. thanks a lot.

Yes i have very happy childhood. My parents always say to me that when i was child then i was so quite and always try to maintain what ever my parents ask me to do. And i always share my toys with other child and that's why other child always play with me. Still i do remember some of my child hood story.when i start my schooling then i have fun with my friends and my teachers always love me. So i have very happy childhood.

I did. I just cannot remember memories.LOL...

sincere4frdship yes I really did. I was a farm kid brought up on a large farm with two huge apple orchards and lots of treesl.I was a tomboy and climbed trees, put on plays and enjoyed life innocent and unaware that people were out of work and starving as we grew our own fruit and vegetables and our own milk and meat. we might not have had a lot of money but we were healthy and we were never hungry. I was alone til I was 13 but I had friends at school. Growing u p on a farm gives you values when you grow up that you never would get growing up in a large city'and my parents were common sense people mydad a doctor my mom a housewife and mother. I was happy as a child as a teen not so much but myhappiest time was in my marriage from age 32 to 60 as I married the love of my life and had two children,.sadly we lostour little girl.now widowed and elderly my son is my pride and joy.

i am sure i had a very nice childhood experience. even as i am the eldest in the family, i remember i can do almost everything, i can do wherever i wanted, and with all the support of my family and relatives.

Hi! I would say that I had a fine childhood. It had the right amount of happiness as well as a bit of the sadness and problems that a child could probably face. As a child I was always struggling with overprotection by my parents. I grew up in the city and our house is located where traffic is usually present. In other words, unsafe. There are a lot of childhood games I never got to enjoy. My playmates were my dolls. But I was properly nurtured and reared. Never was a time I felt neglected.

Hi sincere, Nice Question. On my end I have a happy and sad Childhood Stage. My parents separated when I was 4 and my brother was 6 month old. My father left and have other family, same with my mother. I was abused when I was a kid. A nightmare, name it...etc....On the other hand, still many reasons to be happy. Yes, I grew up in the farm too. No electricity at all.. WE had electricity only last 2008 When I worked in Hong Kong. Life in the farm was quiet and full of dreams.Now, I live in the city.. noisy, garbage, snatcher, etc..hehe....God bless..Happy Mylotting!

I don't think so. Too much criticism and that I was responsible for everything that went wrong, I am glad now that I know it made me a stronger and independent person, but when I was so small it was hell, I remember crying everyday until 12.

I did have a happy childhood. During those times, there were already TV and stereos. Yet my friends and i prefer to go swimming in the sea, biking or going to the farm to eat fresh young coconuts or simply hanging around eating peanuts ! Those were the carefree days , no problem at all. I really enjoyed my childhood days.

After looking your article,I could feel you have how nice and colorful childhood.Also,my childhood also enjoy playing every day,carefree,carefree laugh,think about feel happy!

I had a happy childhood I spent my childhood days with my family, relatives and friends. A lot of happy moments that when I remember it today, I feel sad cause a lot of things have changed and start longing for those old happy days although I know I can't have it back.

I personally can not say that I had a happy childhood, but there are people who experienced worse than I did. I don't see a reason complaining about it, the only thing which we could do is to try and find strength not to repeat those things which our parents did (which made us unhappy) to our children.

Yeah, I miss being a kid, the thought of just playing with my siblings and not needing to be stressed out by my boss, by my work and with money. I loved my childhood. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother so we had lots of fun inside the house. We also had lots of friends in the village, so we were always playing outside the house, until it's almost dusk and my parents would call us in for dinner. Oh how I wish I could go back to being a kid!

For the most part I do believe that I had a happy childhood. Not every day can be all sunshine and roses. Some days a little rain must fall. Reflecting back, i don't have that much to complain about in my childhood except for the loss of loved ones along the way. These are years we just can't get back so we have to appreciate the memoriess we have.

i have my mother and father and my elder brother since i was born. they made my childhood with happy memories. as a kid, they let me have almost anything i want but without spoiling me too much. my parents are my good teachers and guided me to everything i need to learn and because of that i was always on the right track of my life. they sent me off to good schools and encourage me to do stuffs that i want. indeed i can say that had a happy childhood:)

Yes, I do have a happy childhood. Way back in childhood, life is as easy as eating a piece of cake. I have many friends. I can do everything that I want. No homeworks. No mind-crushing subjects. Just fun. In my childhood, I play games all day. That is way too fun! ^^ Also, in my childhood, I can cry in the top of my lungs. I can cry all I can. I can also sing very very loud because I'm not prohibited -- I am child, right? So they understand -- that's what I reason way back then. lol In my childhood, I used to be a simple girl but now I'm somewhat a complex one -- from the way I dress to the lifestyle I'm having. Everything changed. Life is getting tougher and tougher but better and better. I treasure my childhood memories. Childhood is the time of fun and being mature means being more serious in life.^^ Have a good day and happy MyLotting!

Like you said.I also had a good childhood,a lot of good memories .Now think of it all very memorable.But now the kids the other hand ,it seems,and we had not the same.
