What was your childhood like?
Last night I was watching my 2 year old son happily playing with his cousins and got me thinking of my childhood and just how strict an up bringing my sister and I had. It's certainly not the type of childhood I want my son to remember.

So how about your childhood what was it like?
 
Good except for the 3 years I spent chained outside with the dog and those other times in that dark cupboard.

Good on you Robbo for breaking the cycle of parenting in your family. Your kids will thank you for it later.
 
I had a really good up bringing, and i feel really privelidged to have done so aswell, coz i know not everyone is/was as fortunate as me.

I am 16, so I am exiting my childhood and adolescent years.

I was talking to Sly77 last night, and I was telling her that I can't take many happy memories out of my childhood. It is hard when you are from a poor single parent family who hasn't seen their father in 14 years and is owed more than $40,000 by the scum.

But enough bitterness, I will try and dig up some happy memories...like my sporting achievements (which almost always get screwed up by injury), or that personal writing piece I did for English which I got an A+ on (written the day after and about my ex cheating on me)...it just seems that everything that was gonna go right in mmy childhood f*cked up.

Anyway, that's just me, and I know others have had it worse, so I hope I don't come across as self pitying...

The Hitman
 
My childhood? Happy and loving.
I was over indulged and over protected.
And at times I am sure my father doesn't realise my childhood has actually ended!

To answer your question Sbag about influence.
I was so protected I was kept away from anything that was big,bad and scary. I never had to face or solve a problem in my life. That is probably why still today I'd rather walk away from a problem and hope it goes away rather that meet it head on.

And Robbo. Don't worry, you still turned out okay!:)
 
I'm 16, and cannot remember one bad thing about my childhood.
I was spoilt, still am..... and am filled with good memories.
If I ever have children I want them to have the same childhood as mine.

Meg, I am with you. I was spoiled rotten as a child in fact I still am. And when or if I ever have kids I'm gonna treat them the same way.
Hey, what harm can it do? Look at us, we both turned out okay.:D
 
Up until the age of 10, I had a great childhood. I don't think I was particularly spoilt, but I knew I was loved, and my parents weren't too strict on me. I hit a few hitches with my parents after 10 but is there anyone who has a happy adolescence?
 
My parents did almost everything right, and I hated it.
 
Childhood of GoEagles

The details of my life are inconsequential.

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he
would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy - the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical:
summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.

JAYZUS GoEagles, I laughed and laughed until I stopped.
 
Family-wise, I had a very unsafe childhood. Dad was always so hostile so I was scared most of the time. My parents gave us kids everything we could want, but I never got much time from them. No, we weren't rich, before anyone thinks that. Yeah.

I reckon that's one reason why I work in child care, to make sure those kids are as happy and safe as possible while in my care. And it comes directly from my own childhood.

As far as the rest of my childhood goes, it was all good, I had tons of friends and was really smart and pretty. WHAT HAPPENED????? :( LOL I still have tons of friends............:confused: :p lol
 
hmmm i dunno grrrh had its patches but being an only child i was spoilt. Lucky enough to have Waverley Park so i could escape there any time and just walk up! Sometimes when i see other peoples manners and their general lack of courtesy and their values in general i think to myself that i musta been brought up alrite!

Good quote.
 
My childhood was and still is a rollercoaster ride throught no fault of my parents.
They can be annoying but what parents are not annoying? They are very good in the sense that they give me heaps of freedom and they respect me and trust me.
Never the less my childhood was a mess and thanks to that my current life is a mess too! :(
