Um... horrible?
Well it could've been worst but my parents were very emotionally detached, my dad was always at work and when I was around 5-7 my mom worked too leaving me alone at home with my brothers. It also didn't help for a good few years I didn't speak English in elementary school.

Also because my parents were stressed out enough as it is trying to afford 3 kids we got some traumatizing punishments. Beaten with sticks and even locked outside the house barefoot for accidentally breaking a bowl. =.= Yeah we were dirt poor.

My parents didn't trust other people so I could never go to parties and since I didn't speak English it took me awhile to make any friends. So a good amount of my childhood was spent talking to a tree...

Not to mention, thanks to my parents being so unemotional I always pretended that I was practically a slave to others and did anything and everything they told me to do. My confidence was really battered. I put up with a lot of insults with no reaction whatsoever since I was used to it at home.

Also... I don't think it was normal how much I got insulted at home. Way more than outside my home in my entire life. (That I heard openly anyway)

Childhood was rough. I'm so jealous of people with good childhoods. Anyway I turned out okay... for the most part. Still, some serious trauma and complexes that I still have to work out on my own.

So overall, wretched. Childhood was the worst years of my life. In fact, everything got better after puberty. 🙄 I would never go back to any year of my life.

Quote from IMustBeInsane

There are certain aspects of it that I hated; because of my dad's job, we moved around quite a lot, so I didn't really have any long-term friends.

Me too, for both my parent's jobs.
I had a few problems with bullying, and with my health.
But I was also very spoiled (which came with more ups than downs).
Overall it was fine, I suppose. I don't know if I would want to be a child again, other than to get more cuddles.

Average for me.

My dad lives on the other side of Canada (B.C.) so every summer and winter break I would fly out to go visit him. It was good to see him, but made it difficult to keep close friends in grade school and keep a job later, in high school. I remember missing many new years parties with my friends, my girlfriends leaving me because I wasn't around enough, that sort of thing. It's changed now that I'm in college and I can't say I'm still a child, as I'm turning 20 in February, but it's been pretty okay~

mini-bump 😎

My childhood wasn't the best but it wasn't horrible. I moved around a lot so I didn't make that many close friends. There was racism, and a lot of fights, but that just made me a stronger person.
My father wasn't home a lot (always out drinking,) so I didn't have much of a father-figure in my life.
I was sort of a delinquent in middle school. If I could, I'd rewind my life and start over from 6th grade.

I regret many many many things in my past, but.. I'm satisfied with what I have now. So, win some, lose some.

Seems you're having a great time, but are you sure you aren't actually a dog? 🤣

Brought up in a village near a small town, practically on a farm. Aside from the war thing, it was all peachy.

I think so, well, there was not much to worry about and it was just playing around with my brothers, climbing trees, looking for hideouts and things like that 🤣

Average I guess.

I was a tomboy throughout most of my childhood. o__o It was fun.
I spent a lot of time with my family. (...Ha...ha...>.> Things change.)
You could say I'm still in my childhood I guess. o:

I experienced severe emotional trauma before the age of 12 and my mind locked my early memories away in order to protect itself from the nervous breakdown I suffered one day, so I say it must have been really bad. From what I learned from others, I was always being emotionally and mentally abused (they called it teasing) by my peers at school and my sister at home. There were good times, but they got locked away as well. This block and the emotional damage have robbed me of most of my emotions as well as heavily altered my personality. I found it hard making friends afterward and I was far more violent after the breakdown. I literally have more than half of my life, I'm 22 by the way, sealed behind a mental block.
