i came from a broken home. me with my sibling grew up without parents, mom used to work abroad in order to earned money for our education, dad is in everybody's girls arm. what i am admiring from my brothers are, they are different from my father, they do love their wife. One time, we talked about it, and i told them, i am glad that not one of you copied the lifestyle of our father, they just answered me. we do not want our children experience the same way we had.

I, too came from a broken family. Mine is the opposite. My father is the one who work abroad. While our mother is in another guy's arm. So, our mother is the cause why our family messed up. They married. But my father remarried, too. And now, my father is happy. But, sad to say, we don't like the woman he married. She doesn't like the first kids of our father, which is us. But, at least, our father is kinda happy.

that is great that your father is happy, even if he failed on his past relationship, because my mom, do not want another relationship even though i am pushing her to marry again and be happy, to have companion. Me too i do not like my step-mom but i do not care at all, because, as long as she does not make any trouble with me, that is fine with me.

My husbands parents got divorced years ago. His dad really didn't want anything to do with my husband or his sisters. Because of what his dad did to his mom he really doesn't like his father or really care much about him. Although what his dad did was wrong it makes my husband a better husband and father to our daughter and unborn child.

Thanks stowyk, he is a pretty good dad, because one he would never cheat on me, two he would never want to hurt his kids. geen my husband is a good father. He is a great dad to our daughter and will be a great dad to our son when he is born.

I knew very few people as I was growing up who grew up in a normal family. My mother worked almost all of the time, and when she wasn't working, my brother and I were going with her on trips to different places, and it was the same with my step-father. My grandmother would take care of us when school was in session. My father left the picture before I was born, and my step-father could drink like there was no tomorrow. Some of my friends also grew up like this where the parents were gone most of the time, or they were being raised by other family members.

I do not want my children will feel what i have before, so even if we are arguing with my husband, both of us trying to settle it down before sleeping, we talked. I hope many parents can think of their child, before they will have a decision to separate or get divorced

I was talking to my partner the other day about what we would be like when we had children, and one of the main things that he said to me was that he didn't want any child to have the same upbringing as he had, because his parents always hated each other and actually broke up in the end. It is great that you feel as though you want to do a better job than your parents, and I am sure that your life as a child will mean that you are able to give a child a brilliant life when it is the time for you to be able to do so.

I grew up with my grandmother, my mom mother. As i Observed, couples having arguing about money issues, specially when they cannot afford to give what their children needs, the love they had, will be thrown at the window.

I grew up in a broken home that a had a lot of troubles. If it weren't for my Grandmother I would have never known what normal was. Now when I see happy couples that truly love one another, and provide love and support for their children it always touches my heart. I am currently not involved in a relationship, nor do I have children because I want to wait until I am in a place in my life where they can be the center of my universe. Like you and your brothers, I want to give my future children everything my childhood lacked. ~Syra~

during my childhood, me with my friends always having adventure or making some foolishness. my friends used to tell, i tell my mom what you did, other also said, i tell my dad, then they will look at me how about you, to whom you will tell and then laughed. although it was joke, but deep in my heart it hurts. now, if my son cries, i used to hug him and comfort him, i want to let him know that i am always on his side it is because during my childhood, i do not know to where to run and whom shoulder to cry.
