Single FatherMy dad had an enormous influence on my life life as far as taking care of personal responsibility. I give him the greatest respect because he raised two kids, ran a successful company all while taking the time to be in our lives despite losing his wife and I've never seen him ? or break down for anything.
My father was strict on my sister but I could do more of whatever I wanted to do growing up. He taught me a lot about black history and culture and the world in general. I'm grateful for that. -

Different to say the least. I sorta knew why my pops got custody of me and my bro despite the obvious things my mom told me so I was never like "why the ? did she just leave us?" But besides that It wasn't bad cause my dad is a cool ass dude and he did his best to get what we needed on top of being able to play sports all year long(that's all I cared about). The only bad part about it would be the side effects of not having the "motherly love" growing up I can imagine most ppl get lol so I ended up being an ? with no feelings. -
Both biological parents under THE SAME HOUSEHOLD. Married almost 28 yrs.
Lol @ some of yall wanting so bad to claim the "both parents" choice when they was never married and lived in different locations. -
Both Parents (Biological)My parents have been married 31 years.
-
Single FatherLOL.....
What about the father-in-law...........
He was a deadbeat. Spent a lot of his life in jail and/or strung out on drugs. I don't respect him choosing that life over being available for his children and being faithful to his wife but he is family so I'm working on being patient with him. -
Both Parents (Biological)
Didn't stop him from laying hands on your ass tho'............
-
Single Father
Ha. He ain't never once lay his hands on me. Like I said, I told him he couldn't stay with us once and it ? him off but he ain't got no choice but to respect it. You wish someone would put their hands on me.

lol....this is what I was wondering. Cuz alot of what I learned about women I learned from observing my mom or talking to her about them. And u know how they say some dudes raised aoley by a woman develop some feminine traits sometimes, so I always wondered if the roles were reversed, does it affect then differently. -

Carry on.......

Mos def. I didn't start to notice it till I got outta high school mainly cause I really didn't care about girls like that in school. Then I started dating and wondering why this chic and that chic would tell me I had a cold heart and I didn't give a ? about anything but myself lol yea prolly cause mom wasn't around much growing up. O well -
My dad was locked up for 12 years for robbing banks, so I didn't see my father until I was 13. Had no contact with him whatsoever. We still don't have a bond to this day actually. We never had a father son relationship, we just respect each other as man. I love my parents but my mother raised me
-
Single MotherI was mostly raised by my mother and was around my mother's side of the family most of the time but my dad was around but he paid his child support but he wasn't involved as he should have been.
