Answer 1

well, let's see...
age 0-2... can't remember
age 3-5...parents argued alot. saw my grandfather with 1 leg. but, I remember going to coney island with my father in the summer...blissful, blissful...summer breeze
age 5-6...father dies, depressed and watched my mom depressed
age 7-11...boring elementary school days. I liked going on class trips. hated homework and book reports. LOVED the holidays with my uncle and playing with my legos, board games, and nintendo. very stable period I enjoyed it
age 12-14...not enjoyable. teased by other kids. could not fit in. struggled to keep a B+ average.
age 15-17...more enjoyable. took on a role as a cool geek. basketball was fun, started doing better in school
age 17....turning point. started thinking. A average. finally knew what my role is. shaped who I was today

conclusion...it was enjoyable. My Mom was truely the best. I think it would have been more enjoyable if my father was there, physically. he was there, but in me (which is probably why it was enjoyable)

Answer 2

Immensely! I was so happy and loved that I didn't even know that I was "poor" until high school when some of the other girls were "nice" enough to point it out. We didn't have much money, but we had each other. Yes, I come from a very humble beginning, but my mom made sure that I held onto my dreams and that faith has paid off in many ways. I feel fortunate and blessed and I wouldn't change my childhood for all of the money in the world.

Answer 3

Quite a question, this. At this time, I'd have to say that the only things I "let" myself remember are the things I enjoyed. & no, I'm not in "denial;" in a very objective way, I'd say my childhood was something like a Tennesee Williams novel, with incredible mental problems of my mum's, but I've gone way past all of that. She was much like Sybil's (sp) mum; so there were ups & downs, most unpredictably! I select my memories if I have them at all. Let's say, oh gosh, it's all blood under the bridge & what I enjoyed, I enjoyed very much. If these were the only things I referred to, when people ask me about my mum, they'd think she was one of the most beautiful people in the world. In some ways, she was. That's ALL I care to rmember. Yes! I did. & what I didn't contributes nothing positive in my life now. Let it be forgotten.

Answer 4

Absolutely. It was an intoxication to be engrossed in play, in pranks, in studies and extra curricular activities. I did not come from an affluent class but got very good parental support in understanding of things. It was very early in age that the point was driven straight in the mind that money is a means and not the aim in life. And regardless of having or not having, contentment came in too early and was always satisfied with what ever I had.

Answer 5

Hi Kimberly,
Yes
I have good memories. My parents provided a secure home for me and my three sisters. Along with the fun and warm memories there are ones that made me want to hide, cry, run away and hit. My mother was bipolar big time and my father was a silent bread winner, hardly talked to us at all. As an adult I can understand all the confusion and hold the good times close to my heart.

Answer 6

Not always while I was living it. I think as children we all think that our lives are hard. I was sometimes picked on. My parents didn't understand me. Same old stuff. Looking back on it, though, I had a pretty great time. We went on family vacations. I did well in school and had some good friends. I was never abused or neglected. I should have appreciated more while I was there!

Answer 7

Looking back on it I had a terrific childhood and teen years.
But that's because I'm looking back. Otherwise at the time, there were some miserable times. I got over most of the bad stuff.

Answer 8

delight in? Hmmm. Now it is probably a sensible element to seek for yet i can't say it delivers certainly leisure. nonetheless, the positives might desire to outweigh the negatives which makes me ask your self what they're for me. a million. It passes the time with out hitting actual or financial constraints. 2. being waiting to respond to a actual question makes me sense the years of adventure knocking around in my head weren't all wasted. 3. we are able to all learn something new and that i'm happy to have considered data and critiques on YA that i does not in any different case have come for the era of. It has replaced my attitude on some issues. 4. Answering a question forces me to organise my own strategies, not undemanding my contemporary critiques while i hit upon my own 'data' do not extremely hold close jointly. 5. the place else might I meet outstanding human beings such as you? heavily, feeling area of an area, even a loose, impersonal one like ours, facilitates to decrease any experience of isolation. 6. It facilitates me take excitement in the coaching I won and the interior maximum battles I even have gained. the draw back of it is the experience of melancholy at various the questions published on YA by using people who look to not have benefited from a matching coaching or who're suffering to handle their very own demons. i'm unsure the well-known mindset to problem fixing might have served me nicely yet, in spite of this, i'm of a distinctive era. the draw back of YA has to incorporate: a million. YA's unusual and curiously arbitrary judgements and absence of reaction to annoying situations. that's disrespectful. fortuitously, I hardly fall foul of it. Oh - i've got have been given a focused visitor - might desire to bypass ... so not extra moaning from me.

Answer 9

Honestly, not really because my parents were fighting all the time and I didn't grew up the way they want me to be.. but here I am, proving my point that I can be happy no matter what..:)

Answer 10

No, unfortunately I suffered a lot of abuse.
