It would be fun to know about it, how was it, where were you born? I was born in sweden, malmõ and my childhood was very good. I had alot of friends in the school and we played everyday after school, we also went on holiday, to denmark, germany and france to name few countries. I also remember that we had a taco evening every friday, such good memories

That sounds lovely. I have no good memories of my childhood, my life started when I met my first husband. Life has been pretty good since

I think like most people my childhood was a mix of good and bad. Parents do the best they can but my mother's mental ill health and my father's undiagnosed autistic like traits cast a very long shadow.

It was the best of times it was the worst of times. The good times are fond memories i have, the bad are the foundations that strengthened me and formed this independent, sarcastic, hard-working fucked up pervert of a wreck you see today.

I had a fairly solid childhood. My parents broke up when I was seven months old, still yet to meet the sperm donor.

My mum met my stepfather when I was 4ish, he was a top top bloke and took to the role of dad like a duck to water.

I lived with my grandparents during the week until secondary school became my primary school was closer to their house.

My troubles didn't start until I was a teenager but in Hindsight they were my doing.

Should almost be thankful really, it made me the strong, independent person I am today, made me a better person for it somehow. My children grew up supported and loved because I wasn't. Universe balances things out.

I enjoyed my childhood but it was pretty fucked up at times, just another broken family statistic.

It could have been worse and it could have been better but you know what?

I wouldn't change it for the world.

We are who we have become and that is shaped by life experiences, it takes me a long time to fully trust anyone though.

I grew up on a farm in East Yorkshire, sometimes it was great, lots of good memories of building slides or jumps on the straw bale stack in the summer holidays or building tree houses and dens in the surrounding woods, plenty of freedom to roam about unsupervised etc, but as a teenager it was often boring as a lot of my friends from the village had moved away when their parents split up or lived in the town miles away by that point so until I got a motorbike at 16 I was often stuck there on my own unless I could get a lift from my parents. From being around 13 I was put to work on the farm through the school holidays driving tractors or shovelling grain into the corn drier, and jet washing pig yards out.

I was born to a narcissistic mother and a father who allows this/ supports this. My childhood was lacking in affection and love, I learnt I was there to please.

I did have nice holidays with extended family.

I also spent a fair bit of my childhood in hospital due to a medical condition.

Overall? Could’ve been better or worse

Passed Beyond Reach

Like most mixed - but I had an enquiring mind and dreamer. Loved to know how things worked often tried to fix things I shouldn't. Never believe only one side - I wanted to know all sides.

Believe it or not don't care....

Was popular, especially with the girls, not because I was the class clown or anything special but I think I saw things differently (you'd have to ask them

) - air of mystery perhaps a bit of an enigma.

People often see me as the guy who never got picked for the team - I was always the first - was pretty good.

But I was always grounded as a child and would never accept anyone treating others badly or treat others badly.

I didn't strive for popularity, It just seemed to be

And my childhood was obviously pretty confusing with realisations about myself that I couldn’t change. My parents separated early on when I was very young as well, so kinda bumming. I lived in different places and I was with my mother and away from dad (she took me abroad) for over a year and a half x

It wasn’t too bad, kinda sucked tho. Luckily I remember only parts of it

Id give it a 5/10. Could have been better, could have been a lot worse !!

Mrs here. My childhood was left to a woman who never wanted me and blamed me for my twins death before I was even born. She was mentally and quite often physically abusive. My father not wanting to have a second divorce stood by and watched it all happen and did nothing.

This led me down a destructive path after with abusive relationships until I met my husband. He has spent the last 6 years building me up to the point that I told my parents just last week that I would be happy if I never saw them again. 33 years and I've finally done it. I'm just in a completely different place now and starting to find a happy confident life where I will never be anything that they were to me to my own kids xx

My childhood was horrific. My father tried to kill my mother and ended up going to prison, while both my mother and myself were left with (undiagnosed and untreated) PTSD. My mother ended up developing issues which lead to me being exposed to domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and also being the victim of physical, verbal and sexual abuse.

Fun times.

Not much to tell, in comparison I had a relatively normal upbringing. Only one out of my group of friends who’s parents stayed together.

My problems only started when I wanted to do my own thing and that when I started getting battered nearly weekly by the old man.

Probably for good reason just taken too far.

"Should almost be thankful really, it made me the strong, independent person I am today, made me a better person for it somehow. My children grew up supported and loved because I wasn't. Universe balances things out."

Mine similar. I had a mother who shouldn't have had kids but then I wouldn't be here. I had a dad who lived and fought for me and my 2 sisters. Until he got us we were all taken care of by wither family, Foster care or children's homes and not all together. My birth mother inadvertently taught me: to never trust anyone (her behaviour); kids need nurtured, loved and encouraged; for me to be a better and loving parent than she ever was. Primary school was hell because of bullying issues relating to our early years welfare. Secondary school I vowed I wasn't going to be bullied and I wasn't. I still have friends from high school. Still have trust issues but I'm generally an upbeat kinda soul and find fun and laughter almost every day!

For those of us who've gone through tough times, remember we've come out stronger and those experiences have shaped the person we are today.

Much love and hugs everyone xxx

Alicante, Spain. (Sometimes in Wales)

I had a great (but unremarkable) childhood. Lots of outdoor playing and adventures. Summers at the beach or making dams in the local streams. Sunday dinner or Teatime as a family. Saturday morning at the library and Sunday morning swimming.

We were bit poor for a few years, but I certainly didn't know that at the time. But we visited loads of castles as they were free (and numerous in Wales).

My parents are still alive and very dear to me. I've got a lot to thank them for!

Mine was pretty good given the circumstances of living in a warzone.

I had to walk through one of the most heavily fortified areas of Europe twice a day to and from school.

That was the easy part. Dealing with everything else associated with that,could and should have broken me and many others but it didn't.

Family wise I had a good upbringing with caring and supportive parents but my childhood ended at the age of 12 when I became a family carer. That continued in one form or other for 10+ years and therefore my teenage years and experiences were none existent.

I didn't travel anywhere except to other parts of Ireland if and when we could afford it.

Mine was full of restrictions, physical amd mental abuse and a tonne of bullies for a choice my so called parent made for me. And the other parent did fuck all about any of it. I was basically a second mum to quite a few siblings and the amount of chores I had was vast. Like having to clean half the house every weekend. Yet I was consistently put down for everything I did.

I never knew which side of the front door I was safest.

For those that had good childhoods. I envy you that.

I too had a difficult childhood.

Reading these comments, I see that is very common. I wonder if the ratio we see here is representative of the whole population, or if a challenging childhood predisposes us in some way to being more sexually liberated adults?

Just an observation, but it does strike me that rather a lot of us had difficult upbringings.

Financially very poor, but incredibly rich in love, culture and wisdom. I had awesome parents. Unfortunately my dad passed away just before I was 16 but he'd already taught me so much about the world and humanity. Given me many of the tools I needed to question the world, to understand empathy and compassion and most of all be a man. My Mum continues to be an awesome woman and Grandmother who I respect so much and would be lost without.

I wouldn't change my childhood for the world. We didn't have money, but we didn't need it.

Echo what others have said to those that had a happy upbringing, you should embrace and relish that you did. It kinda makes me feel better that others did,like I was made stronger to handle it so those who weren't could have the happiness.

Mine was quite good, on the whole, especially after reading some of the comments on the thread which left me sad.

I was encouraged.. spoiled even, it's possible to say. However my parents were pushy & my childhood was also strict & ladened with expectations.

I have a younger brother who came around at the right time; at that point my parents' apprehensions/fears/insecurities weren't as pronounced and he had a more balanced childhood.

Born in Wales, to parents of Welsh/Irish descent, raised in England. Mum left us when I was young so raised by my Dad, not a mean feat for him in the late 70's early 80's.

We had a pretty good childhood, my Dad worked hard to provide for us. We grew up in a rural area and had lots of outdoor space to play, we saw Mum lots and I had a really good relationship with her.

My childhood was a mixed bag. Early years horrid as my dad was a wife beater, gambler and alcoholic. Watched my mum get beaten a number of times and dad threatened once to poor boiling water over me when I got in the way of a beating.

Was better when the separated and my step dad joined my life. Taught me the right way to behave. But mum was very selfish and made life difficult.

It made me the person I am today and determined that as a dad I show my lad the right way in life.

Born in London and had a happy days despite not having much money. Moved to Scotland aged 9 as my dad got a good promotion which meant we moved to a posh house and were wealthier. Despite having a brother and sister it was lonely then as my grandparents and other relatives lived so far away and there was no internet or mobiles. My mum and dad however were hard workers and great parents to us all.

When my parents divorced acrimoniously, and after years of being "Piggy In the Middle", I decided that as well as divorcing from each other, they were divorcing from me as well and told them as such. I was about 10 or 11.

I pretty much did my own thing.

Yes, I had to live with one of them until of an age when I gained independence, but I'd take myself off and do my own thing, be it horse-riding, making dens in the forest, exploring new woods, cycling for miles and miles with my own made packed lunches.

I learned independence at an early age, and how to enjoy solitude and doing my own thing.

I was very lucky to have a wonderful loving childhood, with appropriate discipline and lots of support.

We had family holidays with grandparents when my sister and me were small. I have particularly fond memories of my dad building sand cars on the beach, or letting us bury him up to his neck in sand

Meh. Great when I was with my Grandparents. Much less great when I wasn't. I often wish my Grandparents had adopted my brother and I - would have saved a lot of heartache.

My brother seems to have bounced through somewhat unscathed because I was the eldest and therefore used as psychological support to an extremely dysfunctional mother and relatively dysfunctional father. I'm still everyone's emotional sponge, because that's what I've always been.
