Your parents?

[disciple73]

I live with my mom and my step-dad.

[coolspot31]

I have regular parents.

[brinny]

My parents are deceased.

[progressivegal]

I have regular parents.

Now that's just not true. No one's parent's are "regular" and if they are they aren't doing their job, which is to be embarrassing, nosy, kooky, etc.

[Robinfanandbeastboyfan]

I have a step dad,a dad,a mom,a half brother,a half brother,a half sister,and myself.I spend my weekdays with my dad and the weekends,holidays,and summer with my step dad,mom,a half brother,a half sister,and a half brother.

[Tanyalita]

I have both my mother and my father.

[Chloe Williams]

I have a mom and a dad.


*~*Chloe Williams*~*

[Lithium Hobo]

Momma and Pappa. Your run of the mill formula.

[Kalista]

My Mom and Dad are together, have been for 25 years. I am so proud to have parents that have stuck with it for so long. Thats something not very many people have these days and I Thank God everyday for that!

[Belle0985]

My mother was with my father for maybe 7 years when I was conceived, and after I was born, he became slightly abusive so my mother left him and went back to her parents with me. After that she went through beauty school and somehow or another got into drugs and bad things and ended up being sent to jail. From there my grandparents became my guardians and raised me very lovingly and understandingly. I don't blame anyone but myself for my mistakes and decisions in life, nor do I believe my past and family problems caused any of them. I was brought up to make my own decisions and be my own person, and I think I turned out very well here! ^_^

[FlyerBoy]

My parents were never married. So they split up after I was born but are still friends kind of. So now I have two sets of parents. I got My mom and step dad. then I have my dad and step mom. So my family is pretty large.

Jacob

[Le Fantome]

I have a mother and a father, at least for now. They've assured me that they'll disown me if I do certain things that don't jive with their religion. ;)

[sanaa]

my mum and dad are still together

[Jmm32088]

My parents are still happily married it's kinda gross sometimes:kiss: but hey i figure if i grow up and get married and am half as happy as they are I'll have done pretty good :thumbsup:

[Shanagal]

I'm the youngest of 5, and my parents were married until my father passed away in 91. Before he became sick, my mom would send my dad off to work with a kiss and hug, and greet him the same way when he came home!! After he became sick, my mom would tend him with great care. They were very loving toward each other thoughtout their years together!!

[jesusfreak22]

They are pretty cool

[angelgal]

have lived with mum and dad all my 29 years... except when i studied overseas. they've made many sacrifices along the way for both my sister and me.. throught financially hard times and all... and Mum by being a virtuous Christian wife, eventually brought Dad to Christianity and Baptism...

Dad still gives mum a goodbye peck on the cheek when he's off to work..

They've been a beautiful model for me of what i want married life to be...

[Imagine_your_dreams]

I have been truely blessed by God with a wonderful, supportive, loving, complete family. I am very greatful!

[L.A.W.]

I am luckily and fortunate to have both parents. It is a miracle they didn't past in the Vietnam war. It is a miracle my mom perseveres throught the hatred my dad's side gives her. It's a miracle my parents raised me up in times of poverty. It's a miracle my mom raised up 6 kids nearly by herself because my dad wasn't willing to lend a hand. It's a miracle I am who I am today, a Lamb of God with eyes opened from this mammon world. It's a miracle I am still persevering the persecution from my parents. I forgive them for their eyes and ears aren't opened as mine are. Even if I tell them 10 times they still don't get it, I forgive them and pursue my walk with Yahushua. I thank God of all for everything. Even though He had to humble me in some situations which hurts the physical and mental, I am glad that it broke me down, which made me think further to what He was wanting of me. He wanted me to seek Him of all else. Thank God He cares for He did send Yahushua to die as a sacrifice for the ransom of our souls.

[AvgJoe]

Both of my parents were Christians, so my brother and I grew up going to church twice on Sunday, every Wednesday night and pretty much any other time the doors were open. My father certainly "Trained his children in the way they should go..." because we didn't miss a week's worth of Sundays, of going to church, in my first 15 years of life. (I just recently thanked him for his dedication to my spiritual well being.) I was very fortunate to have Christian parents, doing their best to live a Christian life and that, I believe, brought us fewer hardships while I was growing up.

I was saved at the age of 13 and at the age of 15 my parents divorced. My mom taught the children's Sunday school class and was the church's pianist, my father was the song director and a deacon of the church and my father had an affair with the organist of the church. After divorcing my mother he wound up marrying the organist and is still married to her today. Not only was my family ripped apart but my very core beliefs of Christianity, God & right and wrong were all brought to their knees. I didn't know what was what any more. Not only did I blame my father for what had happened, but I blamed God too. How could he let this happen? How??

I was only a young man at the time and only a babe in Christ. It took many years before I understood that God had no blame in what had happened, it was all my father's doing and that no man, even my father, is perfect, except for Jesus Christ.

[rockerchick4j]

Both of my parents are alive but I'm not sure where my dad is so I put that I just have a mother. My mother mostly raised me so I geuss thats appropriate but both of my parents are still living.

[Bemiah_Angel]

my Mommy and Daddy r raising me! And I must say they r doing a darn good job lol

[Carina]

I grew up in a loving Christian Family and I thank God for that. They are still together now. Will be married 40 years coming June., How awesome is that.:thumbsup:

[heavensworthit]

Growing up in a Christian home, still have both my parents :hug: and I love 'em!:kiss:

[mycatspice]

I'm thankful for my mom and dad :D

[mentalmenteinstabile]

I have a Mother and Father

[Donyc]

Both Mother and father

[GEO4CHRIST]

I never knew my dad. I grew up with my mom all of my life.

[eternal_flame_1988]

I have a mummy and a daddy :P Yeah, 2 parents...and 2 sisters, go figure :)

[Tapies27]

I was blessed with married parents growing up. They were married 23 years before mom died.

[runner_for_jc]

I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A MOTHER AND FATHER TO TAKE CARE OF ME!
Jordan Gibson*24

[Starberry]

I had a mother and father, but "mother" abandoned us. I had the best dad in the whole world though. It taught me a lot about faithfulness, and strength.

[Bledsoe2]

I have a mother and a father and they are both christians. My family is a christian family.

[Bledsoe2]

I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A MOTHER AND FATHER TO TAKE CARE OF ME!
Jordan Gibson*24

I am also blessed to have two parents, my mom and my dad!:amen:

Bledsoe2, bball15

[leigh01]

i have both parents but unfortunatly none of which are christians which makes life pretty hard 4 me but i'll get through it wiv god by ma side

[angelfizz]

is it possible to have like a three some parent hood thing>
i;ve never heard but maybe it is... ><
we have heaps of mentors though which is good.. .like a second or third parent

[*Lana*]

I have a mom and dad. They have been married for 30 years. Yea, their marriage is not to good right, but its in God's Hands so I know HE will take care of me and work with my mom and dad. :)

[VeryTiredGirl]

My parents are both 56, both still living, and both still together after nearly 35 years of marriage. There are days they'd certainly like to gleefully strangle each other, but for the most part, they have a happy marriage.

[Mal2]

we all have mothers and fathers, so what if many of them ditch you on the side of a road, leaving you to fend for yourself in the wilderness of the big city ghettos

[one 4 Christ]

Raised by my mother and father. Didn't have a 9-5 dad for he had his own busness with odd hours. The time that he spent with me, mom and brother was quality family time. Mother was raised as an only child so she was more quieter and to herself than my father. Beleive it or not because of that I have more memories of my father spending quality time with me then my mother. However, mother took great care of me when I was sick. Unfortunately mother became a drunk when I was 15.:(

[sparks_will_fly]

fortunate to have both and a strong family unit as i have a friend who only has a mother..dad walked out.its causing him some problems:sigh:

[underOATH!]

Mother and Father

[twyrch]

Let's know about your parents? What sort of family did you have growing up? Were your parents divorced? Did they pass away when you were young?

Thanks to Faith177 for this poll suggestion.

I have a mother and father that are still together after 30 years.

[Illuminite]

my grandparents raised me most of the first 5 years as my dad was going through sickness and my mom was only 17. 2 different religions in my house though when we were all together..pent and presb.

[GEO4CHRIST]

My dad left before I knew him

[reformedfan]

Everybody has a mother & a father, silly, even babies conceived in a test tube. Only Christ only had a mama.

Oh, d'ya mean who raised them? :)

[pentecostalgirl0414]

I just have a mom. My dad left her when he found out she was pregnant. We also live with my grandmother.

[baller_4_jc]

I am very lucky to have a loving mom and dad! I love my parents so much!


baller_4_jc

[YC Bearzie]

I just have a mom. My mom and dad broke up when I was about 3 months old. My brother was a year older than me and he stayed w/ my dad. Dad had visiting rights until I was 5 and then there was a court battle because he was abusive to all of us. my mom could take care of both so my bro was in a wonderful foster home. But we lost touch once he ran away and went back to his dad when he was 15. I have awesome grandaparents who have helped my mom and me out.

[someone_else]

i grew up with my mum dad two big brothers and a dog and a cat. and my folks are still together

[Doreen]

my parents are both non-christians and dad went to vietnam b4 I was born. he came home messed up and an alcoholic who abused us until I was 15 yrs old. but I'm 33 now and things have changed between us and we have a good relationship and I have dealt with the bad stuff that happened to me - he and mom won't admit what happened though

[beetlequeendiva]

I have a mum and a dad but they don't live together - they haven't done since I was 3. my mum remarried when I was 5 then divorced when I was 12 - it's just been me, mum and my 3 sisters since then. I don't live at home though!!! My dad remarried so I have a stepmum she's great!!!

[beetlequeendiva]

Oh meant to add no-one in my family are christian, just me!!

[purpleunicorn_Andi]

i was adopted as a baby, and grew up with a father and mother, and 4 granparents

[Shy21]

my grandparents raised me most of the first 5 years as my dad was going through sickness and my mom was only 17. 2 different religions in my house though when we were all together..pent and presb.

I also grew up with two different religions in my household. My mother was Jewish and my father was Christian, but he also believed in the Jewish way of life. I was raised Jewish though. Both of my parents raised me and they are still married to this day.

[Romany]

My mum's christian now, my dad's muslim (but only because it's more convenient as he lives in Saudi Arabia, so he's really atheist). Although my mum and dad are still married, they've been seperated for, like, 10 years. My dad's not such a great man, he has two illegitimate children, but I kind of feel sorry for the guy.

Romany

[maylu_roll]

I grew up with my mother and father although i had to hide my religion. My father never knew I was a christian and I had been hiding it for about 10 years before I actually let it out. He is disappointed but he understands. He actually took it better than I thought!

[California Dreamin']

My parents divorced when I was 6 years old and I lived with my mom after that. She got remarried a couple years ago.

[Gardenia]

My grandparents raised me.

And they are wonderful! :)

[Stacey]

Mama et papa!

Both my parents were married and in bad relationships before marrying. My dad had my sister with his ex-wife and got custody. Then he married my mom and they had me and raised the two of us since she was about 2-3. She's 5 years older than me. :D

[Lake]

parents alive and doing well. both business people,busy but there for us.

[BaptistGirl101]

I have two parents end of story

[pumanator]

Mom and Step dad...not very close though and they're not christians.

[*~i surrender~*]

my parents were married had me and my sister then got divorced and both re-married so i technically have four parents, and now two step brothers

[LovesToRead]

I had two wonderful, supportive parents. I was very blessed.

They are both now with the Lord.

[heffalump_hunter]

We lost our mother to cancer when she was 39. I was 18 at the time. My father remarried to a wonderful women but I moved out at that time and headed west for work. So I've never really got to know either of my mothers as well as I would like to have.

[HollyHobbie]

I have a mom and a step dad though he's kind of like a real father to me since my dad died when I was 2 and my mom remarried when I was 6.

We get along for the most part ....and I do love them very much .

[Swede]

My mother died when I was 11 and then I lived with my father which wasn't all that great most of the time although he tried his best. Now I'm out of touch with him too, by my own choice.

[...butterfly...]

I have both a mother and a father, but my grandparents raised me for a period of time because my mother was in prison and my father lived far away. So now I have a mother and a father AND a step father and a step mother

[GreyWing]

That's hard to say, because my mum and dad divorced when I was about two, with my mum gaining custody, although I see my dad regularly. A few years back, Mum remarried, so I have a mother, father, and step-father

[allmyluv4Him]

my dad passed away when i was 10, so that left my mother raising a 10,8 & 2 yr old on her own. she has never remarried. Now that Im grown and have kids of my own I realize how hard it must have been for her.

[Moluku]

My parents divorced when I was five and I lived about half the time with each parent week to week. My dad's not saved, my mom is, and because of her lvoe for Jesus Christ I am saved as well. My dad and I no longer talk, which makes me sad.

[gal4God]

both parrents have re-married.

[lgintrnj]

my dad went home to our Lord when i was 11. its ok, Its 49 years ago and he still lives in my heart.

Lori

[GlendaJoanne]

I had a mother & a father until I was 11.. and a brother & a sister... then my father was killed in a coal mining accident..

Then I just had a mother until she remarried when I was 14.. then I had a mother & a step-father.. and a step half brother.. 2 step brothers.. a brother.. a sister.. and a half brother..

My step-father died in 1980.. then I just had a mother again..

My mother died in September 2003..

It was interesting because my father and step-father were 1st cousins.. so that made my grandmother my aunt by marriage.. etc..

Confused yet??

Also my dad and step-dad were both named Joe.. so my brother's name is Joe.. and one of my step-brother's name is Joe.. they both have sons named Joe.. My step half brother has a son Joe.. In my family if you called for Joe.. either everybody came.. or nobody.. :D

[Harlan Norris]

Well, the results so far are encouraging.Many more two parent familys than I would have thought.I'd imagine that most people my age had two parents that raised them.

[LegacyOfLove]

I have a mother and father. They are still married (36 years now!).

[skipper]

I have a mother and a father they were divorced when I was 5 my mother remarried when I was 9 My father never remarried, he is still in love with my mother even after 30 years he would remarry her if he could, I don't know why.

[seamonster]

I grew up with a mother and a father.

[Phoenixtears1]

Well, the results so far are encouraging.Many more two parent familys than I would have thought..

Me too. Though, now that I think about it, I do realize that it's not too rare to grow up with both a mother and a father, as I have....

[HDoggie19]

Parents divorced when I was 6. My mom has been married 4 times (and she finally seems content with #4) and my dad has been married 3 times (finally seems content with #3). I am soooo very committed to having one marriage with my current dh.

[vrunca]

My dad died when I was 11 and my mom raised my sister and two brothers and myself...I am the youngest and was the biggest challenge!:blush:

[Selznak]

Mother and Father. They divorced while I was in high school. :(

[Stan53]

Both parents now deceased. Mother was strict disciplinarian. Father was a softy. They both refused to influence our faith choice. They were married for 35 years until mum died. Father out lived her by 13 years and never remarried. Divorce for them was not an option. Although they never showed it we children (7 of us) knew they loved each other.

[Crujir]

My situation is rather odd... lol will not explain it here.

[ashinbubbles]

Both mom and dad for me.

[jul7246]

i praise the Lord for a mother and a father =)

[firestar]

My parents are still married after more than 30 years!

[whimsyjean]

Parents divorced when I was 3. My mother married 4 times.

[bill'swife]

my parents are still together and have been married for 38 years!!!

[favored_one]

My parents have been married 30 years!! They are wonderful.

[RoseD]

my parents are divorced

they are now friends

they are penpals

[Figure8]

I have a mom & dad

[firestar]

Parents are still married

[eaglex]

My Father is dead and my Moather is still alive.

[dalej42]

Grew up with mother and father. They divorced after I was out of college.

[Vedant]

just a mom, don't know my dad.

[jeffs_girl_2004]

I still have both of my parents, although when I was little my dad was not around much cause he was working so hard to try to keep enough money for us to survive.

[maniaco]

mum and dad :)

[Brokeback_Catholic]

Let's know about your parents? What sort of family did you have growing up? Were your parents divorced? Did they pass away when you were young?

Thanks to Faith177 for this poll suggestion.

My father died when I was a baby. I was an only child. My mother never remarried and I can honestly say I would not be the person I am today if it were not for my lmothers tender guidance. She taught me to love myself for who I am, and to never let anyone criticize me for being different from them. My boyfriend has benefited from learning those lessons too.:kiss: :kiss: :hug:

[KellyLeigh]

My parents split when I was a sophomore in high school and since they lived about ohhhh 4 blocks away from eachother, I had to switch back and forth who I was living with every single week. It was awful I hated it. I pray my children will never have to go through that!!

[PastorMikeJ]

My dad died when I was 14 and my mother and I have really hard relationship...My dad's illness was hard and caused a lot of hardship for my mother and sister so she blamed me for a lot of the pain he caused them cuz I looked so much like him....

[Ethos711]

I have both parents.

[KebraMoonstone]

i have a mother and a father and i love them so much

[Mskedi]

I grew up with my mom and dad. I've never known people that worked so hard to provide for their family as my parents did (and still do for my little bro & sis).

[handmaiden97]

I could answer yes on more than one of those....I have a mother, but my grandparents raised me the first few years of my life.

[hillsidehermit]

I have a mother and father. grew up with them both together, they waited until I was out of the house and on my own to divorce.

[YourNameIsHoly]

I have both a mother and a father.
I was raised as a Roman Catholic. My family is still Catholic. I made the decision to become a Christian on my own.

[Godslilgurlalways]

I have both:)

[Miracle Storm]

My dad adopted me when I was very young. He was a very bad alcoholic and abused my mom. She had a couple nervous breakdowns and I was back and forth from her to my grammas. My mom and dad divorced once remarried and divorced again, but throughout my childhood they would be back and forth. At 14yrs old I became pregnant with my first son. I was on my own with my baby and his dad until I was 15, but we split and then I was on my own in my own apt.
My family has helped out and thank God my dad has been sober for 4yrs. now.
God has blessed me so much and always taken care of me, even when I felt so alone and so abandoned. He has never left me!!!:amen: Praise God that no matter what are parents are like and even when we love them dearly, our true Father is God Almighty through Jesus Christ! Not a human that is flawed as we all are.
:bow: Praise God, in Jesus' name!!! Never will He leave us and never will He forsake us!
*Just wanted to mention God has blessed me with 4 wonderful children!*
:bow: Praise Him!!!

[KnowBeDo]

My parents divorced after having my two oldest brothers. Re-married, had me, divorced again 4 years later. Dad was an alcoholic, but he finally got control of that. Mom is an alcoholic in denial. Step-dad and her fought constantly during my childhood, he was/is very controlling. My dad has been married to his fourth wife for over 20 years. I say my grandparents had more influence on who I turned out to be than anybody.

[Godisgr8r]

I was raised by both parents, but my dad passed away 3 yrs. ago. I don't talk to or see my mother very often. She tends to be a bit controlling.

[LavenderMoon]

I was raised by both parents.

[bammertheblue]

I have a mother who raised me, and a "father" who never wanted me. Therefore.....I put "other". When I meet people and they ask about my family, I say I have just one parent. Because it's true! :)

[newyorknewyork]

my mother disowned me - literally, after abusing me for 20 years

boy am i glad i don't live with her anymore!

my dad took his life... its coming up to the 2nd anniversary of dad's death soon

[AngCath]

i was raised by my dad and mom, saw my grandparents regularly, and also saw aunt and uncle often.

[jerek]

I am lucky enough to still have both my parents. And they are still together. ( 31 years in July ). They still hug and kiss and for the most part they get along.

[diana_ch]

Both my parents have died, but I still remember them and particularly the wisdom of my father, who taught me to see the good in everyone.
Sometimes when my mother would be critical of someone my father would say
'some mother loved him/her'
Thats an amazing thought that we all should carry in our hearts... wise words...

[Christian_Babe234]

I love my mom and dad. Although my mom seems to be more on the spiritual side. Get what I am saying.:(
I love hem both really but i wish my mom would just be less spiritual.

[meh]

My parents were the best. My father died 2 years ago and much too young. But I am so thankful I had him for as long as I did. Mom is still alive and my best buddy.

[JadeTiger]

I have a mom and dad, but they r divorced

[Deb456]

Both of my parents stayed together "Till Death Did Them Part!"

Mom went "Home" in 2003 and Dad in 2004...
Back Together Again!!

[lyonguard]

My dad died when I was young.

[LindyLouWho]

raised through my extended family

[smiledaily]

mother & dad

[Steelerbred33]

I was raised by both in a dsyfunctional home and they finally divorced when i was 6

[If Not For Grace]

To the outside world they are utterly perfect :)



I wonder why we think we or others have to be perfect?

It seems this often causes problems rather than elimintating them.

[Jenn4God]

I just have a mother. My mom divorced my dad when I was just a baby and I have never met him nor have a desire to. God is the only Father I have ever known and that suits me just fine.:)

[faith by day]

i have two parents, who still married... alot of parents arent.. so my family is kinda a minority... yeah.

[SorchaAisling]

My parents are still married (though that is as much a surprise to them as it is to everyone who knew them several years ago).

[Browncoat]

How come having crazy parents wasn't an option?

LOL!!! JJK.

-Browncoat

[stealingheaven]

I was raised by my mum and dad till I was 13, then by dad and grandparents till I was 18 (that's when I left home) Altough my mum left the marital home she still had an impact on my upbringing so I don't feel hard done by that my parents seperated.

[xladyfayre]

both of my parents.

[PhantomTorment]

Both

[EJXSD]

mother and father.
and a Father in heaven. :D

[krys4ever]

Mother and father

[fireman1173005]

I was blessed by good Christian parents and a great home life. So that's exactly what I want to provide to my daughter.

Brian

[Envy2]

My parents have been pretty good to me. They work hard, but don't get paid enough I think... but they've always made sure to provide for my sister and I.

[Sehsun]

I have a father and a mother. I am so thankful for them.

[plum]

My father passed away in 2003 so now I have a mother. She has remarried, but he does not fill the father role since I am an adult now and already had a father in my life.

[CFpetRESCUER10]

I consider myself lucky that I still have both of my parents who are still married (in January they celebrated their 34th Wedding Anniversary). When my sister and I were growing up, Mum was a stay at home mum till we reached high school then she went back to work (she gave it up just before I was born back in 1977). Dad worked hard (and still does) for our family without being a workaholic. Overall I had a blessed childhood with parents I wouldn't trade for anything else in the world.

[4EverBlessed]

I was raised by both parents until I was 16, then it was just me and my mom. I still have a pretty good relationship with both my parents. Praying for their salvation, though.

[GrannieAnnie]

My dad is 96 and mother is 89, we visit them fortnightly. They are reasobably well....all things considered. They are just now finding it hard to care for themselves and will soon be going into a facility where all their cooking, cleaning etc will be done for them. But they still enjoy short walks and having visitors. I love them very much.

[TCat]

I grew up with Mom and Dad, they're still married and will be celebrating 41 yrs of marriage.

[micbmac]

my mom and dad were highschool sweethearts. stayed married until my dad died in jan of 02. :cry:

[brknllama]

I live with my mom right now, my parents were still together until my dad died 8 or 9 months ago(4 days before I turned 17) its kinda hard to deal with it.....

[AllForJesus]

I have a mother and father who rasied me!:)

[encouraging loves animals]

I have mother and Stepfather. I don't know my real father. He ran away before I was born.

[Elieshia]

My parents were together while they raised me, but I often wished they'd separate. I would have went with my dad, not my mom, if they had.

My mother stayed with my father because it would be a sin to leave him, she said, but it was obvious that she loathed him, while he adored her.

[jsimms615]

Since I only know of one virgin birth, it seems that most of us would have to say that we have a mother and a father.
I had the privilege of having both raise me and taking me to church.

[humblet]

My mom & dad have been married for 38 years...and if you'd know them you'd know what a miracle that is, lol.

[BAFRIEND]

Just my mom. It was not my dad's fault. He was killed in Vietnam.

[San54]

My father passed away when I was a very young adult.My mother is 80 years old and alive and well.

[FattyFFO]

I knew my mom and dad but my moms parents adopted myself and my older brother...so we were raised by them

[vic74]

I have a mom and a dad. They're both alive. They never married, my mom raised me and my brother for the first twelve years of my life, then after that we were raised by extended family. My mother was addicted to drugs and wasn't capable of taking care of us and my father was a child abuser and wasn't allowed to take care of us. So it's some of the above and none of the above.

[redheadskiangel]

I have a mom and dad, and I still live at home when I'm not at college

[bdfhjlnprtvxz]

Well, I have two wonderful parents, a mom and a dad, and they have been very supportive of me as I journey through life and college.

I have both a mum and a dad. We do a lot together as a family. We all go to church and we go on family holidays every year to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Thats a 1-2 day car trip depending on which grandparents. I still live with my whole family and probably will until I get a job after uni/TAFE or whatever I decide to do.

It's so sad to read some of the stories above. I haven't had many struggles in my life but I'd have trouble getting through the hard times. I guess God holds you up in the worst of times.

My parents have been married to each other for 52 years. They raised us eleven kids and shared many ups and downs. Both have health concerns. I adore them.

I was adopted and so I had a mom/dad all my life, even though they threatned to divorce, I would have wanted to live with my dad.. We were very close.. They passed on in 98 a few weeks after one another.. I was 22/23 when that happened.. So I wasnt young but was very immature and had to grow up fast sort to speak.. I miss them and its hard to not see them espically now that I am a mom and married..

[SpeekerOfTruth]

I have a mother and father.

[JeCrois]

I have a mother and a step-father, but that wasn't one of the poll options...

[PrincessBaker]

I have a wonderful father and mother. They can be the family any kid has never had.

Voted in the 'I have a Father and Mother' category.

Both my parents were married before they found each other. Though, now they are married for good. It was nice growing up with two parents who really love each other. I know I am lucky for that and I try to appreciate it.

Completed the poll.

My father raised me alone from 11 months to age 13. He had a stroke and I was placed with wonderful Christian Foster parents that are still Mom & Dad to me! :)

mom and dad

[DreamAngel]

I lived with both of my parents until I was 1 1/2 years old, then they got a divorce. I currently live with my mother and see my dad on the weekends (when our schedules work out). I love both of my parents and I am glad that I still got to know my dad, even though I didn't see him as much as my mother.

I have a mother and a father :)

[T3mpt3d]

I was raised by my mom, because my parents seperated when I was a child. I did spend some time with my dad now and then, but my mom's boyfriend was more like a father to me than my real dad.

God bless each individual person that did not or does not have a mother and a father in their life. I have learned more about how not to do things through both my parents, but I was blessed to have them both in my life during childhood.. and I love them very much.


I am so excited to have a family and be the best mother I possibly can.. building our house upon the Lord's word :)

"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
