People overcome many challenges in their lifetime. Some more challenging to overcome than others but overall are a struggle. One very common thing kids have to overcome is divorce. My parents got divorced when I was only two years old. Over time I found that I slowly just started to think of the divorced life as a normal thing. I felt like it didn't affect me anymore. Although I wish they were still together, I am okay that they are not. Life is very different when I am at my dad's than it is while at my mom's. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if they were together.
    

Life at my dad's is much different than it is when at my mom's. At my dad's I usually use the computer and go outside. Also we don't have much junk food at my dad's. My dad's house is very big which gives me lots of space. My room is in the basement because I like how nice and chilly it is down there in the summer. I have tons of four wheelers and snowmobiles at my dad's. Also when i'm at my dad's I have a step-brother there and a half brother with me. Although we have no junk food at my dad's, it's probably for the best because it keeps me healthy.
    

When i'm at my mom's life is also much different. At my mom's I have no siblings and also I have three dogs. At my mom's I live close to town so I always go into town to hang out with friends. I'm not able to do this very much at my dad's because I live further away from town. If i'm at my mom's, i'm not able to use a computer because I don't own one like I do at my dad's. This leads to it being very boring when i'm not hanging with friends. Also when i'm at my mom's I get to hang out with my parents more because when i'm at my dad's he is always working in his shop also I have a lot of junk food at my mom's which I do enjoy.
    

If my parents were still together life would be so much different in very many ways. I would not have to bounce back and forth between houses. When I got home from school, I would not have to worry about not being able to get math help from my dad because he's not good at it. Another thing is that I would not have to worry about thinking whose house I was at. I wouldn't have to not be able to use a computer while at my mom's because I would always be at the house that has one. Also I would not have to worry about taking different buses or even waking up at different times.
    

My parents have been divorced for such a long time. As long as I can remember they have been divorced. Having your parents divorced like mine really adds an extra struggle than if they weren't divorced. Almost 40 percent of all American families are living in two different homes. I think that this is horrible because when you get married to someone you are supposed to be committing to life with that person. Getting married is not just a silly thing you should do for fun it's a very serious matter. Although my parents are divorced and I dislike that, I think it's for the better because it makes them happy.
