Well, this is an interesting question.

I think that, generally speaking, it is easier for people who come from a happy home to have a happy home themselves because they have a good example they grew up with and can learn from. However, coming from a happy family is no guarantee that your own family will happy too.

Growing up without a father or a mother does not mean that you are incapable of having a happy family.
I have seen men who grew up without fathers and turned out to be the most committed husbands and the best dads I have ever seen because they wanted their children to have what they didn't.

Bottom line is: a girl who grew up with mom and grandmother can have a happy family.

I believe that happy, healthy individuals make happy, healthy families. wink
But it takes only one bitter, sick individual to make a family a living hell.







By the way, a family that consists of grandma, mom and (grand-) daughter is also a family and can at times be MUCH HAPPIER than some other family type. wink

Ppl av different ways dy respond to tinz.... me for instance

My fada was d lion of d tribe of my family, u knw those kind homes dt wen dady is around d house is dead quiet, evribodi is busy reading all day, Dts d kind of home I came frm... I got into university nd I was disowned, hw worse culd it gt?

I folo my frnds home,i watch movies, I read books.. I knew wt I missed growing up... so I av to strt working on my self frm nw tilll I gt married so I culd b a better father,

In my opinion knwing hw horrible ur childhood was, feeling those pains first hand, gives u a better chance of being better, u wuldnt want ur kids to pass tru same... I tink

Parenting is nt by default, anybodi cn suck at it if nt properly prepared.....
