Well I love my mum to bits but as there is me, my mum and sis living under one roof on our own, we argue like hell. Sometimes I want to punch them both and I need my space and alone time. Its hard when I live 15 mins from our city centre by car and I live out in the countryside. And my dad is the biggest t**t on earth... had an affair, tells us he doesnt love us etc etc!

I love my mum and I guess I will always have to love my dad.

I have a mum, dad stepmum and stepdad, and I love them all to bits and nothing could change that.

Ok so we've had our fall outs, but that just a part of growing up.

I don't know anyone who hasn't told their parents at one time during their childhood that they hated them, but you never really mean it, they are just words that come out when you aren't allowed past midnight or a tenner to go out with etc ...

I love my mum & step-dad. Hate my real dad and have not seen him for about 18 years. He knows I have kiddies but as long as I'm alive I won't let him set eyes on them and I'm seriously considering having my name changed by deed poll so I don't have to share his (tried to get the ex to marry me, but he was having non of it ). I do still sometimes fight with my mum over silly things (when she steals my shoes for example!) but we never hold a grudge

I had a nice, caring upbringing, with nice normal parents who didn't get divorced or anything -- so I can't blame my parents for any of my travails

I love my mum and dad lots. My mum, my brother and i get on especially well, and my dad and sister are close but we all get on. I feel they've done a good job bringing us up.

I love my mother to tiny little bits.. without her i just wouldn't be here (not talking about being born or anything ) but she's just fantastic and she's the only other person after Ray that i would trust implicitly with my kids. My dad is a different story.. my feelings about him are a bit ambiguous. He made my teen years a living hell, he still drives me nuts from time to time but i realise now that he doesn't have the same power over me that he used to have.. and i don't have to take any of his crap anymore.. but he's good with my kids.. maybe he's making it up to them for being such a lousy dad to me, i don't know. I don't know if i even like him, i know i don't respect him.

I love my mum to bits. She's slways been there for me when I needed her. I've had some rough time, and without her I don't think I would have got through them.

I love my dad too, although I think he finds a bit hard to express his feelings...he always seems rather indifferent, but I know that's just the way he is

I don't really know what I would do without my parents

Mum, i love her. went through the teen thing where you hate your parents but i have since matured and we have a great relationship. i still live with her at 25 so that says a lot.

Dad, wouldnt mind if he fell of the face of the earth for all the good he's been in mu life.

Step mum, i really cant post my thoughts in a family forum.

Step dad, he was nice while he was around, i still miss him. i guess the fact i havent seen him since i was 11 says a lot about his feelings for me tho

I had a normal, happy childhood.

My parental units sometimes annoy me but I still love them.

Normal, happy childhood? Pah, who needs them!?

As most of you know my mum and i get on really well. I take her to gigs and stuff and meets (or is it that she takes me??? ) and i'm very close to both my mum and dad. Whilst i've been on holiday with a mate i've missed not talking to them much and my family and friends are the most important things in my life.

It's a love hate relationship

Dad dead for 20 years, but loved him to pieces.

Mum, intensely dislike, in touch with only because the grief if I wasn't would outweigh the grief while I am.

I love them to bits but just dont tell them that.

I didnt realise how much until this weekend when after one day in a tent I was crying because I missed them so much and also because I was drunk and stupid but nevermind

We have loads of arguements and stuff but I know they want whats best for me
