(Trigger Warning) Who raised you

[Literary X]

I was raised by my biological parents, my grandma, my aunt, and when he joined the family, my uncle.

[ellastokes]

I came from a big family

but the only one who really taught me anything and did kind of raising were my materal grandparents [well not grandparents by blood] (I love them).

eh, I have a complicated family tree...it'd be kinda hard to explain the ins and outs.

I previously thought I was raised by wolves, and so reported in this thread. But I've since been told that actually I was raised by a mixed parental unit: a wolf and a Labrador retriever. That explains a lot of things.

I was raised by both of my biological parents

My mom raised me. She packed my lunches, drove me to school, went to all of my dumb school plays, and bought my clothes and food. My dad was always busy working and on his days off he liked to hang out with friends rather than spend time with my brother and I. He pays for the roof over my head and that's about it. Though I suppose that's a lot more than some people have.

It's kind of sad that my social anxiety acts up around my dad tho. That doesn't happen around my brother or mom.

Biological mother & father. Middle class nuclear family. No divorce. Pretty boring stuff.

They kept my alive, safe, & fed, and I am grateful for that, but our relationship is complicated. I'll just say that they probably shouldn't have had children.

Technically speaking, I was raised by my mother and father until the age of 10. They divorced and I was raised partly by my father, then my mother, then my father again.

Nonetheless, they were absent during my childhood/teenage years: my mother attending social gatherings, my father always at work. Then, when they divorced, my mother would travel to different places and my father would stay with "his other family" (my step mother and step sisters). I usually stayed at home playing videogames so that I wouldn't feel alone... and I am thankful for that since my parents' ideas and points of view are close minded, so to say. If I was raised by them I'd probably be a heterosexist.

My biological father and stepmom cared for me. My friends taught me how to be a person with emotions. The internet allowed me to become worldly and expand my views. But for discipline and "raising," its been mostly a solitary effort.

Ma paw! Biological father. Good dude right there. The next most involved would be my siblings, but even my dearest older sister didn't really have much of a hand in "raising" me, so I only voted for fatha.

I guess mine is a bit mixed. My parents raised me in a sense during some time together, during some time alone. There was also some input from grandparents and a third party as well. There were alot of problems in my family and for many years (even nowadays) there were very tense atmospheres and overall alot of bad and stressful situations which I suspect is a part, if not the cause for my anxiety these days.

There was also very little real communication between my parents and I but then again my parents were never very good listeners. They just assumed that what they did was the right thing to do (despite how wrong they were) and left it at that.

I was raised by my Dad first, my maternal grandmother for a bit, then my Mom until I moved. Still being raised by my Mom though.

[AlwaysADreamer]

I was raised by my biological parents. However, there were times when I just couldn't stand to be with my mom and my dad was away for work or something. So my grandma would either come up or I'd go down to her and my grandpa's place. I'd say they taught me as much as my parents have, and I actually take greater stock in their opinions than in my parents'.

[Maiflower]

My parents mostly raised me, but I did live with my mom's mom and stepfather for a year.

[Shy Orchid]

Technically speaking, I was raised by my aunt and a nanny (the nanny only until I was 10). I mean, I lived with my mom (my parents were together but they lived on separate houses, don't ask me why), but both she and my dad were always busy with work so I spent most of my time with my aunt and my nanny until my nanny left to get married and have her own family, then I was raised only by my aunt.

My parents (that is my biological parents) always provided for me and bought me things, on school meetings, my mom would be always the one to go since I lived with her and we lived closer to the school, but my aunt was the one who would play with me, give me emotional support, advices and etc.

[Holy Ghost]

I was raised by my mother and crazy nudist sister.
