if you had to live with?

Question

say your mum and dad split and you had to choice who to live with who would it be and why

Answer 1

my mum.

i cant stand my dad and that cow he left my mum for. she's 18years younger than him and only 6years older than me.

no thanks i stick with my mum

Answer 2

I would split my time between both. My mom and dad split at an age where I did not get a say in where I could live. I was ordered to live with Mom BUT every weekend and school vacation I was living with my Dad. It was the best. I saw just as much of Mom as I did Dad. I would not have changed that 4 the world

Answer 3

Well now that I'm grown up I would say neither, my brothers were given a choice, because they were much older than I when my parents split, but I was only 5 years old so had no choice in the matter it was your living with Mom. I say neither because my Dad only cares about himself and his next buzz, and my mother the other drunk did a great job at Fing my head up physically and metally abusing me until I moved out on my 18th birthday. I could see for a young person this decision being hard, you need to go with the person you feel most comfortable with the person you think you'll have less confrontation with in my opinion anyway.

Answer 4

well my mum and dad split up and i stayed with my mum for half a year and couldn't coup anymore i have 3 brothers and a sis shes 12 now. my real dad split up with my mum when i was 3 and my step dad lives near my mum and my brothers went with dad and girls with mum but she kept goinbg out all the time leaving me to look after my is i was 18 at the time and i wanted to go out so i moved in with my bf life is so much better no more shouting and stuff.

Answer 5

it depends on how old you are....if you are 18 you could always get your own place...but if your under 18 then it's the choice of the parent...if you are still living with your mum, stay there and visit your dad as much as you can...think if it this way....fun nights in with your dad..movies, pizza...games friends on sleep overs....it will be a change from being at your mums bored stiff wont it? ...plus you get to have 2 bedrooms...but live at home with your mum where your settled....it's a hard choice but i think it's a good choice....

Answer 6

My mum and dad split when I was 15 and I was left at home with my sister and dad. I'm 21 now and although it was probably quite easy for him because we weren't young, I still think he would've been the better parent to have around. It depends who walks out on who etc.

Dads are by no means to be ruled out!!

Answer 7

I would not be able to choose between my mom and dad......so I have to say if I did not have my own home and family and I had to choose where I would go in this situation I would go live with my brother......I really could not choose between the two...and I think they would like the fact of me not choosing one over the other....and my brother has been there for me through a lot when my mom and dad were not able to any way

Answer 8

my mum and dad seperated when i was 2 i didnt have much say in the matter and was brought up by my dad. if i had to choose i probably would choose the same again. although the simple touch of a mother i do miss x

Answer 9

the choice is up to you but you need to be rational and decide what is best for you sometimes you have to be selfish and think of yourself which school would serve you better what was the reason for the break up which household would be healthier for you not who has the most money or the bigger house which one could be strong enough to discipline you in the right way and your decision is not set in stone if things dont feel right you can change your mind later as you grow

Answer 10

You can't compare the two, honestly one will prefer to be with his mum for the following reasons;
1 women are more affectionate than men
2 women like kids more than men
3 women spend most of their time with the children than men
4 children are more freely with their mum than dad.
5 women are more caring than men

Answer 11

well I surely wish parents would not use their children as weapons against each other, the children can not be the stick they use to clobber each other with. that being said, with which parent is not the important thing it is are they going to try to use guilt on you for loving both parents. You keep in mind that you have the right to love both parents equally, without guilt. And I suggest going with the parent that has already made provisions for you, a bedroom and meals cooked on time and family time and love. you should be fine at that home.
