Did you have a good childhood?

Yeah it was good. Parents were great, brother was the best. Didn`t have a lot of money, but we had a roof over ours heads and full bellies. ;)

overwhelmingly no. abuse, neglect, and a gross amount of stress for a child
How was your childhood?

there were good parts, but generally it was very messed up

Fantastic, blissfully ignorant, until I was 14.

It was a really good childhood. What made it great were the times we spent together as a family. Also, I knew I could depend on my parents for anything. They were always there to pick me up when I needed a ride, they were good to all my friends, But I do wish I had been given some chores to do around the house and disciplined when needed.

I was the youngest of four children. Our parents were loving, tolerant, and understanding as much as possible. I have two brothers and I was two years younger than my sister and we were and will always remain close. Although I remain fully appreciative to have had such a childhood, a part of my heart aches for the many children that did not such an environment to enjoy as a child. I tried hard to give the same to my children and hope all parents will do their best to do the same.

It's really hard to describe my childhood...nothing was simple and my family life was complicated. I'm an only child and spent a lot of time surrounded by adults. My parents loved me a lot but they were flawed and I moved around so many times as a kid. I was friends with a brother and sister who used to have sex with each other even though they were kids. After months of begging me to have sex with the brother I finally relented and that went on for several months. I was only 6. All this was after being made to sit on the floor in their bedroom and watch them. Also my family lost a lot of money in Spain...to the point where we became really fucking poor. Both of my parents were heavy drinkers as well. Aa a teen I took the internet for reasons I can't understand. I had friends but I constantly felt the urge to troll and say and do outrageous things online...and in real life. I was unpredictable.

Again what stands out to me the most is how much I knew and how early on it was. What I do know is that I wouldn't change my parents as I think they tried their best and some things are just beyond a person's control.

I had the best childhood. A dad who loved me very much, and I was naturally gifted at making friends.

Parts of it were good; other parts were not. I grew up with parents who weren't as loving as I'd be as a parent.

Half and half, dysfunctional family.

There were both good and bad things.

Not really

Bad lol

I was a prisoner. Never was allowed to wear the clothes I liked, play the sport I liked. I always hid because I knew I'd be beaten up if I said anything.

It was good until I was 9. Then mom and dad got hyper religious and moved us all over the world for seven years.

I was born in 1967, so I consider the 70s to have been my childhood. Once I heard music, it was all over...THAT was and is THE dominant force in my life. I had a small record player that only played 45s and a radio. Back then, you heard Top 40 which was hard rock, soft rock, singer/songwriter, R&B/Philly Soul, oldies/doo-wop, it was all there. And, my parents were supportive. Terrific parents. Not perfect, but really awesome. My brother entered the picture in 1971. Grandparents lived next door. We had a park with swings a block away. We moved away in 1974.

I considered my childhood effectively over on Dec. 8, 1980, when John Lennon died.

For the most part, i had some good family and friends

Terrible parents, but luckily, I had a nice nanny and mentor.

Yes, because I had good parents.

If you call being constantly bullied and harrassed not having friends and having pretty much zero normal interaction with family good then yea it was peachy i suppose

Good parts, not so good parts. I never doubted that I was loved at home. But I went through periods where I was hated at school.

Great childhood because of the country I lived in

Fresh air
Great weather
Surrounded by Beaches
Good friends
