Answer 1

Traditional family, my wife also. Sometimes we feel like oddballs because our families are so square.

My mother worked part time but I was not a latch key kid. If my mother was not home my grandmother would baby sit.

Loving

Answer 2

1. Traditional familiy: I think yes, but I'm not sure what sort of tradition you are speaking of.
2. Divorced family: well, my parents divorced when I was 24. Does that count?
3. Raised by relatives (grandma), babysitters, and parents.
4. No.
5. My mother worked part-time.
6. Loving, very much so.

Answer 3

I was raised by parents who should have divorced when they considered it because all they have done for 40 years is constantly fight.

I was a latch key child and I had a younger brother to look after. That did not harm me in any fashion - it taught me a lot about responsibility.

I consider my childhood loving because even though my parents have trouble with each other they never took that out on my brother and I.

Answer 4

Ummm I suppose a traditional family although they did divorce when I was 17.

I was a latch key kid for a few months while mom helped dad clean the church buildings.

Mom stayed home. My home wasnt perfect but it wasnt abusive or lack love and basic support.

Answer 5

I would say I had a "traditional family" if there is such a thing. (Though my parents taught me to explore different religions rather than expecting me to follow theirs.) Mom was a stay-at-home Mom until I was a teenager - then she worked part time. I was rarely left with babysitters - my Mom and Dad believed in taking us kids out with them when they could. I was loved and provided for during my childhood, and my Mom and Dad are still together to this day. (Actually, if I compare to all of my friend's parents', I really don't have a "traditional" family - I have a rare gem of a family!)

Answer 6

My parents divorced when I was 21, so it hasn't affected me that much. Before that we were very traditional, and my mom was stay at home until I was about 15. I had a very loving childhood.

Answer 7

I was raised in a "traditional" family. My mother stayed home while my father worked. My childhood was loving.

Answer 8

Traditional with both parents working. I stayed with my grandmother when I didn't have school. I had a great childhood.

Answer 9

Loving and 1.

Answer 10

I was raised in a traditional and very loving family. I think I was quite lucky. My mom was home.
