Nowadays that's very common, as long as the parent who is with the child is a responsible and attentive parent I don't think it would make a difference.

Yes it does affect ones personality. A child who grows up with a father tends to be more understanding, and is more protective and responsible. He has a father figure to look up to. Moreover, studies show the a manly touch is essential in the family. On the other hand, a child without a father tends to be insecure and does not want to open up to anyone. If the child has lost his father due to reasons of death, he tends to be protective of other people in his life, but if the father has cheated the mother or the family, the child is less likely to trust anybody and may turn hostile at times. He becomes short tempered, and forms a negative feeling for all fathers in the world. He tends to hide his grief by camouflaging what he actually feels and becomes strickened from within.

I believe it affects the way they see men. If you grew up with a loving dad that you see all the time, you might be able to trust men better. However if you grew up without one, it might be harder to pick a good man because you've never seen one. But if you have a strong mother to teach you what a good man is, then in some ways it doesn't matter

i grew up without a or dad, foster care. it is not that easy to let him go. but make sure she knows that she is loved and supported. learn to do some of the things a dad would do. make sure that there is some form of a male she can turn to when she needs a dad. a good example of this is a uncle or a close male family friend. but in the end it will make her a more independent and strong person but make sure she nos how to let a male love her. please be patient an understanding with her but most of all love her no matter what she says or does . sopme things will hurt and some will not. but most of them turn out to be ok. so to keep her normal make sure she has some sort male father figure to turn to in life. hope this will help you in some way.

statistics claim it affects the child's behavior, what he trys to be and wants to be, his discipline etc. I don't see much difference. I grew up with a dad and still went through hell-my son grew up with out his dad and wonders why he does care enough to send his very best! It's what you make of the situation that defines who you will be in life.

Of course, it's better to grow up with a father, as long as the father is not abusive. Girls, woman, look for a mate like their father. The father is a role model. It teaches that a "mate" should be a good provider, and attentive and loves to spend quality time with the family. If not- mom needs to take up that role too!

i think that it affects the realtionships ud have...i grew up with my dad but after i was about 10 he didnt want to have ne thing to do with me...and hed either be at the bar or at work..so its as if i didnt have a father during the period i needed one most...it has affected my relationships i find myself making excuses to test my partners to see how far i can push them before they would leave...i find myself clinging to the ones that are worth a damn and clinging even more to those who are not...people tend to have look for the traits in their partners that are most like some family members...so i think u should just watch ur relationshipos and if u find yourself in a similar situation us hould seek counsiling of some sort.

My parents had splitted up when I was one and a half.
The difference is that when your parents aren't together for a long time...like if they broke up when you wuz really young, then you're used to not having that other figure, and when you are used to growing up with the both of them, then you'll feel hurt and tore up when the other one leaves. I'm not used to having my dad around and so if my parents had ever gotten back together like now then it would feel so weird b/c I'm not used to that. Does it make sense now?
