My mum and dad are still together, but as much as my dad would argue, my mum raised me. All my early memories (so like three) or of me with my mum.
You guys?

Neither really. My dad spent a lot more time with me even though I lived with my mum but I was actually raised by a nanny next door. I spent my evenings after school at her place. She looked after me from when I was seven months old to 14 years old. I credit her for most of my upbringing, not my parents. Probably explains why I hate my mum so much. I've heard it happens a lot to kids raised by nannies. Mum had to work but this also accounts for my lack of memories with her other than the screaming fits.

My parents split when I was 6 and from then till about 11 1/2 I lived with mum and only saw dad every other weekend and Wednesday's. Now I do alternate weeks. It would have to be my mum as she has been the most influence in my life, she was most involved in everything which I think adds to the fact that I'm starting to resent her.

I'd have to say my mum. My dad worked a lot and still does an I barely got to see him. So most of my days got spent with my mum. It was either her or my mums friend.

My mom, my dad left when I was born, so she raised me.

Well. My blood father left before I could crawl, and my step-dad didn't enter the picture until I was nine/ten. So it had to be my mum. But even if he had been there my whole life, it would have still been my mum. People called me her "mini-me" when I was much younger. And while I love my mum and my step-dad equally, my relationship with my mum is much stronger.

My mother. She is basically everything when it comes to my earlier life.

Mom. Only because of the loss of my dad.

My mom. Out of the two, she's the responsible parent. I'm glad; my dad is awesome, but there are some things he just wouldn't be able to talk about with me like my mom can.

My mother mostly raised me. Even when my parents were together, dad was always off at work, (or getting blowjobs from other women (reason why my parents got divorced)) and mom was self employed, and worked from home. All of my memories are with her.

I don't know why but most of my childhood memories are of me alone. I've always been a calm kid and when parents realised that they started leaving me totally on my own with some homework like read this book till the page N etc. I played toys, read books, painted a lot...

My dad left when I was about 8, maybe 9 at the latest. He's never been a big part of my life. My mom has always raised me - and all of my early memories are with her. I guess you could call me a total mamma's boy lol.

Our maid raised my brother and I during the week. Both parents took over during the evening and on weekends.

Well, my mother really, my parents are still together, going on about 30 years now....
My dad was an ass really, never even tried to "make" me a man. I asked my parents with a "survey" how would my parents feel if one of their children were to come out to them as gay. bi, etc.... and my father responded I would feel like I failed as a parent to teach my child
WTF you stupid cunt, by right and wrong yes, I know the difference but knowing you it is because you feel you failed to make a man, you got me, sorry. Yes, I am not the match asshole that you would have liked to have, yes, I am sensitive and caring and very insightful, I see through people so easily and yet I am not the "man" you wanted me to be.
Mom, I love you, you have always been there for me, you are so nice and supporting but you actually scare me the the most, I couldn't come out to you, you would make a scenes and I would never live it down.

Well... raising me. All of my memories are with my grandma. But my mom does all of the 'teenage raising' now that my grandma died. My mum has been more helpful I guess raising me, but I just remember the memories with grandma.

My mom raised me because my dad was never home.

Mom raised me. Hell even when my Father was home most of the time he was busy watching a ball game and wanted little to nothing to do with me unless he needed another beer. Mom caught him in bed with a co worker of hers. They were split up and divorced by the time i was 6.

I'm not really sure. I spent most of my childhood at a childminders really. Sort of 4/7 days a week, all day. As I got older i'd go there after school as well. My dad worked alot and was often away alot but then again so was my mum. My mum used to work weekends and often Christmas and things. I guess I was raised by my childminder most, and when i was at home it was equally by both my parents. I think this is why i've never really been close to my parents.

My dad raised me a lot as a kid, and my mom has spent the last few years repairing the damage. :P
