Without my parents I would have never survived alone with four children.
They have always been there for me in troubled times and I would never consider falling out with them.

My mum is my best friend,She always stays in the background and is always on hand if the need arises and my Dad would do absolutely anything for me and my children.
We only see each other about once a week,we have never been the type of family that needs to see each other everyday,but the time we do spend together is always quality time.I value that time highly and know they will always be there for me.

I have not had an easy life due to failed relationships and this causes my parents to worry about me even though I am thirty seven years old now.

I always felt that my parents provided a good family life for my brother,sister and I.
We had great family days out together which were always fun,even if us kids did squabble endlessly.
We were always cared for also we were well dressed and fed and more importantly we were loved, to this day I dont really have any complaints about the family life they provided.

My upbringing shows by my own actions as a mother.
My children enjoy cuddles and kisses and they too are well dressed and fed but I do not spoil them.
Family life to me is simple,until they consider themselves too grown up to want to do their own thing,then we do things together.
We do simple things like walks on the beach,a trip to the park,swimming ,tickles whatever takes their fancy.Thats being a family in my eyes.

Children need to be shown love but also shown right from wrong in a fair way.
I believe that it doesnt matter too much if there are one or two parents,its all down to what sort of parent you are.
Just because you are a single parent who has to go out to work fulltime,having to leave your child in some elses care,doesnt mean to say your child will grow up feeling abandoned and unloved.They need to be
reassured that its not the case and shown it too.

There are too many women who deny the Father the right to see his own children when the relationship ends.This to me is cruel and an unnessary act through bitterness and bad feelings.At the end of the day no matter what the circumstances, the childs father is and should be a part of their life, hes still their dad,even if he doesnt live with them.
Its seems such a pity that these mums dont stop and think of the childs feelings before their own anger filled feelings.It could damage the father and child relationship beyond repair as time goes on.
Although there are exceptions especially if the child could be put at risk of harm from their Father,thats a different matter altogether.

I dont see a problem with people of the same sex being parents to a child as long as they are good parents and can provide stability and love. Hell why should it matter.But they have to be prepared for the cruel taunts that other children can inflict upon their own child.

Any combination of parents can provide the best up bringing for a child if they can show love thats all that matters.
