    The way some of these cats go hard for ? in here I'm surprised they are not demanding 2 mother or 2 father option.

    I wonder how many on the IC have the petri dish to thank for their beginnings.

    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 aint married and lived in different locations.

    The choice in the poll said nothing about both parents living under the same roof. My parents were both very much present in my life.

    Wanting so bad?

    It is what it is ? !

    In my case, my dad lived like 15 minutes away even after the divorce. He was always a presence, we were there regularly, took vacations with him, so how is that not equivalent to being raised by "both parents"?

    Your parents were divorced but went on vacations with eachother? thats wild. My momma always kept a weapon in her purse just in case my dad showed up again.

    lmao..hell nah..not together. I mean we took family vacations with my dad and stepmom, and we took family vacations with my mother and stepdad.

    Like responsible parents, they didn't let the fact that they weren't together stop them from raising their children.

    I would consider that being raised by BOTH parents.

    Some of you MFers know damn well your parents hated each other and life was miserable coming up, but because your parents stuck it out under one roof it's all good. That's worse than having divorced parents.
