If your parents split...

[Conservative,]

Who would you go with?

Or if they have already, who did you go with, do you still see the other one?


Personally I'd go with my Dad. Although he has a quick temper - he has the main income which we need - and tbh going with my Dad would be fairer on my Mum - so she doesn't struggle with the bills etc. I get on fairly well with both parents but my Dad can teach me things my mum can't ;) and he also tends to be more...lenient.

It's not because I don't love my mum, of course I do - but it would just seem the logical choice to go with my Dad:

More money (and to help my mum financially), more freedom and more man-to-man talk.

My parents divorced when I was about four or five so it was up to the court to decide who got me and my brother. At least, I think that's how it went. We've both lived with my dad for nearly sixteen years now (and stay with my mum at the weekend every fortnight), so I can't answer your question as I have no memory of my parents ever being together.

Oh wow. But you did answer the 2nd part. :)

My parents split when I was like 2 and there was no question of me staying with my dad because my mum kicked him out because he wasn't in a state to be in a family.
I spend weeks at my mums and then every 2nd weekend at my dad's, which is plenty.

If they had just split now, which is really hard to imagine, I'd definitely stay with my mum because even though she annoys me my dad is far worse and just difficult to get on with.

I really wish you didn't put the winky face after "my Dad can teach me things my mum can't", the mind boggles. My dad's never taught me anything useful, 'least my mum could teach me to cook and wash etc.

I'd probably live with whoever was the most convenient, I like where I currently live so I'd remain there regardless of which one it was really. I'd go see the other parent lots though, only 2 more years and I'll be off to University anyway.

My mom is already seeing someone without telling us about it but I know he has kids and they're around my age. If things go bad I think I'd hope that I could live with my dad.

Probably was a bit unnecessary to be fair, and my mum has taught me a lot, but my Dad has taught me far more.

I live with my mum most of the time, my parents split up when I was like idk 8 or 9 or something can't remember but I see him more now than I did then anyway because I was going to bed when he got home from work in those days quite often. Now he lives literally 5 minutes away and I go there every other weekend or just whenever I feel like it

[Metric1]

Mom, I love my mommy.

[Mark]

I see my Mum and Dad regularly, I can't say who I stay with most because it is equal. I love my parents very much and get on with them very well. Pity about my brother who is all loved up with his girlfriend, we barely see him at all!

[wiktoria]

I don't think my parents would split up but if they did I'd rather go with my mum because I love them both equally but I can talk to my mum about everything can't really do that with my dad.

[Chris]

Definitely my mum. It's already a pain living with my dad. :L

[matt$]

I'd live with my mum cause i see her more then my dad cause he's at work most the time and my mums got a better sense of humour.

[bkps]

Mum. They already split up and I stay with my mum. See my dad like whenevr I want money but I never even go near his house and don't want to. Hate him. xo

[kuzkasate]

i'd defo go with my mum. my dads a right moody **** 90% of the time, he just goes mental at everyone and likes to do things to piss you off, but when hes in a good mood, hes propa safe.

whereas my mum, shes just really cool, shes an amazing person and she understands me so much, so i guess im closer to her.

[T@R]

I'm living with my mum, and have done since I was 7.
I'd like to think I'd have chosen my mum over my dad, although I do have a much more relaxed time when I'm at his, but I think that's because I only see him every couple of weeks.

[Nuxty]

Deffo my mum. Although we're all together at the moment, I can see my parents heading towards a divorce within the next couple of years as things aren't looking too good. Its hard enough for me to live with my dad under the same roof right now, we just don't really get on and every convo we have turns into some form of an argument! It sounds really bad but I wouldn't mind not seeing him if it meant that I was able to just get on with my life happily.

[AgnesIO]

My dad, not because I don't love my mum - I love her to bits.

However, with my dad we would go straight to Spain, be financially better off, and he is generally more lenient - but would never let me step over the line.

It is difficult, for example, when I am ill I would rather be with my mum.

[Narnat,]

I would have to say my Dad, He is in the Navy and well we have the same thing in common so yeh him.

[Jordan]

They are already apart, but depending on my Dad's shifts is when I go see him :)

[Mathew]

I hope I never have to make the decision, therefore I won't :)

[Meanies]

i think mine split when i was 11 or 12 and then i'd stay with my mum during the week and dad at the weekends, now i live 400 miles away from my dad and see him once a year for for a few hours. tbh, i really wouldn't care if i had no contact with my dad because i know what he's done to my mum and the rest of my family. and this is really bad, but the only reason i stay in contact is for birthday and christmas money, and by 'contact' i mean a text on birthdays and christmas and going to his house for an evening while im down near him. if i decided to stay with my dad when my mum moved away, i'd be a completely different person right now, so i'm glad i stayed with my mum because it was for the best, and the fact my brother was staying down there for university so she would've been living 400 miles away from her entire family on her own which wouldn't have been nice at all.

My parents got divorced about 10 years ago. I went with my mum and that would still be my choice. Still love my dad.. just I'v always been a mummys boy >;D
