Right...

Yup...

I was 15 that summer my parents got divorced. Than this cd dropped. Im 33 now. And love this song but deff hits way harder than it did than.

@@alexwarren4583 I feel ya. I was in third grade when my parents split. That was 1986 I'm 42 now.

my folks divorced twice (yes after 2 marriages to each other) and are now married happy as hell a 3rd time after 40 years together on and off but the damage it did to my brother and i probably will never get repaired. i think today's culture is to blame more then anything, people just don;t realize they HAVE to tough it out when kids are involved if it is at all possible

Tell me dude. I start to cry everytime I sing that.

Same

Its actually "What stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it every day"

Same, this song is so impactful

I was one of them.

@@joycevitecoskisilva luckily my parents split when i was super young, like 3 years old. i had to witness the night one of my friends/neighbors parents decided to get divorced when we were like 12 and that shit was so sad and awkward for me to experience i had to have my mom come pick me up bc they were all crying and the dad dipped out😭

true

Facts

That's for sure. I think that this is the only blink-182 song that has ever brought me to tears. I grew up in a household that was chaotic and very much like what they're describing. I never thought I would be on the other side of that. I never wanted that for my children. My daughter's father decided he does not want to be involved but we're doing fine without him. She's about 10 weeks old now and she is the fattest and cutest little baby I have ever seen. Those cheeks, I just want to eat them lol. Sometimes I feel bad for him because he's missing out but then I remember that he's keeping himself away. This song is helping me cope with this whole thing. It's not about us, I didn't want him anymore. I left him before I found out I was pregnant. I gave him the chance to be in his daughter's life. I told him if he wanted to be, I was not going to stop him at all. Like we wouldn't even have to go through the courts, I wouldn't care. He has chosen his path which is to continue on like nothing happened.something is wrong with him. I really think he's either a narcissist or a sociopath or a little bit of both. Anyway, that's not a digit him, that is really the truth. I found out that he goes through life using whoever will let him. I'm just so glad that music like this exists to help those of us who need the help. I actually read somewhere that people that listen to rock music are more emotionally well-adjusted. This is because it deals with the things in life that aren't so pleasant. IE this song.

The one thing I have learned from both my parents is that people comstantly change. My parents have been divorced for 20 years and i'm only 22. I guess you could say that ai'm lucky becauase i don't remember them ever being together. I still see both of them on a regular basis and I love both of them with all my heart. They have sacrificed so much for me and I'll never be able to repay them. The biggest thing they have ever taught me is how tough it is to work on a relationship. I've seen both sides. My mom has been with several different partners and my dad has been with my step mom for 19 years. I've seen and heard every fight as well as the love they give. I don't think it as simple as people make it out to be. My ex step dad for instance was a one of the nicest and most generous people I know, but there was another side to him that wasn't so nice. He had a rough childhood (He was beaten with chains) and sometimes a different side of him cane out. Ir's funny because he inspiredbi me to persue a career in engineering, but I've seen sides of him that no kid should see. I guess my point is this, it is not as black and white as people make it out to be. I have dealt with stuff that no kid should have to, but it also made me who I am today. You just have to try and make the most out of your situation. Nobody's life is perfect, but the important thing is to do the best you can with what your given.

I'm struggling with my mom and dad right now :/ they divorced before I was born but its a constant custody battle. I lived with my mom for 13 years, then my dad took me for 2 years, now I'm back with my mom :/ I relate to this song.

I love you. You do what's right by your kids.

David Hudson the point of the song is saying its selfish and destructive to divorceinstead of. working things out, marriage is just a game of forgiveness and how much your spouse can be forgiven by you for their mistakes, its basically "how much shit can you take?" For the first 5-10 years

18 and 30 now brother 🤟🏼

Exact same. Started listening to em in 98, when I was 14. Now 38. Crazy.. where did 24 years go.

I turned 35 on 7th of april bro

Since 14 and im 33 now

I could be wrong but I always thought they were referring to the parent having a holiday as in their free time or happiness away from the kids and or the other parent.

@@rodolfotsang4327 became an alien hunter and conspiracy theorist.

@@rodolfotsang4327 A series of events, basically he was being a douche to the other guys, specially to Mark, he created Boxcar racer and invited Travis, and when asked by him about Mark, he told him that Mark refused the invitation, but the reality is he left him out, and when Travis found out, they called him out on his BS, then they got in a hiatus for about 2-3 years, then the next album, the one called Blink-182, had to be produced at Tom´s pace and liking, because reasons, he kept neglcting Blink to focus on Angels and Airwaves, which kept pushing Mark and Travis´s buttons, to the point that they would diss him in interviews, citing him as the reason why albums would take so many years for them to produce and why they would be lacking in quality, he even stopped going on tours, and they had to bring other players in his place, eventually they had a major falling with Tom´s agent, altough Tom claimed he had nothing to do with that. No one is sure if Tom quit or if they kicked him out, the guys claim his agent just told them "Tom.Is.Out" and Tom claims he learned he had been kicked out via the press. But the fact is, it is very evident Tom was being a douche to his supposed best friends, included one who he claimed was like a brother.

Feeling this is another song where they have a pretty good harmony.

Exactly, mark without Tom is too flat and boring and Tom without mark is just too much of that pop punk voice, and many people enjoy that but it’ll never compare to them together

Listening to the new(ish) track One More Time and it had me in my feelings. Haven't thought about Blink in over 15 years... God, time goes by fast.

You obviously haven't been married for too long!

@@EdwardCBurton as long as its not cheating, everything can be forgive even not forget bro. No matter how long ur marriage.

Apologizing every time doesn't help either. Both sides need to be willing to look at their faults and if one side is always battling and the other is always apologizing the marriage is doomed.

I'm glad to hear that. Something else that may help you guys. It sounds stupid because I heard it on that show How I met your mother. A couple agreed that whenever they're fights would get too heated, they would say pause and come back to it later. I hope that helps. Personally, I'm listening to this tonight because my daughter's father decided he did not want to be involved. He's mad at me for escaping his control. She's almost a month old and we're doing fine without him. I honestly feel like you did me a favor by staying away. I told him either step up now or I'm not going to tolerate you popping in and out of her life whenever it's convenient for you. I'm not going to let him do that to my daughter. My dad wasn't around because of my mom keeping him away from court orders and stuff. It's not that he didn't want to be around, it's that she prevented him from doing so, legally. Am I angry at him? Sure because our daughter doesn't deserve this but like I said, we'll be better off without him.

​@@ariskusuma6578I agree with this 100%. Cheating is the one thing I can't come back from anymore. I've started saying, I give somebody one chance to be training and then when they do, that's it. They're gone.

Pop punk will never be the same without mark hope he feels better to

Hailey Buchanan Happened to me when i was about 10(parents had been together for almost 20 years), my father drove my mother out. She wanted custody but he took us so he didn't have to pay support. That lead to her being so ashamed to have us over in her new apartment one she left cause she couldn't feed us that she told she was busy; this happened until we stopped trying. My father was never around either and i lived in an isolated country in the gulf. I grew up alone and disconnected; I feel you, Hailey Buchanan.

I'm sorry Carbon Matrix I hope it's better now and if not I hope it gets better for you.

Hailey Buchanan Unfortunatly sometimes divorce is for the best. no child should ever have to hear his parents fight all the time

Thank you but, I'm now better than ever :D

My parents split When I was 9 months old and I have no memories of them ever being together. My Father is in California and my Mother lives in Virginia. I currently live with my mom. The first time I heard of them actually fighting was from my father up until then i thought it was normal for the parents to be split. When i was 8 years old he started talking about her and what a bitch she was and how I should come live with him and one story he told me (Which is true) was that when they were about to split she slammed her own hand into a door, called the cops on him and told the cops that he did it. The only thing that kept my father out of jail was my big sister who told them that he didn't do it. Every summer and winter break from school I fly to California and stay with him. During this period he tells me stories of what it was like living with that "bitch" When I get home it's not as bad. My mom never really talks about my father. At home i have a stepdad who is pretty nice to me and treats me better than I think a stepdad should. But I feel bad for him because my mother is always on his case because he works long hours and she thinks he's cheating on her. Currently in California with dad listening about how mom is a "bitch" and I don't what is real and what he is making up to try and convince me to live with him. Many times (and I know this isn't a problem for most kids) but many times a year when i visit him he tries to give me wayyyy too much money like he once handed me 400$ for doing nothing, and I just feel uncomfortable accepting that money but it's rude to decline it -sincerely confused (I made a funny xD) get it like sincerely confused actually confused which is true? anyway I'm terrible at jokes ahaha

Same! And damn. I can't believe it's been 20 years. I literally blinked (no pun intended) & I woke up as an adult with a mortgage & family.

@@jayde.moonstone.6458 keep it up guys! head high always!

💌

yeah, I feel you. It gets real shitty when they have both passed

Same 🥲

Same. Tom DeLong puts it in a way that strongly resonates with me

@@keirstinfairclothpetersen3874 It shows that divorce, while in some cases necessary, puts a lot of the burden on the kids. You don't get rid of the actual issues, you just kick the can down the road and tell the kid to deal with a broken home, shared custody, and tons of mental trauma (not to mention the kid's usually 7-10 years old). Relationships are a lot of work and issues will pop up. However, once you're married with kids, you need to work through them and figure out a way to make it work. Otherwise, your kid will have no idea what their doing when they get married themselves.

When i heard this as a kid i hated my parents. When i hear this in a loveless lonely marriage i love my kid's.

Me too. So much emotion.

Its by far my favorite 182 song because of the insanely powerful chorus. They nailed it

This was me in LA last night 🖤 great show!

Oh man! That story... I give u some of My force!

well, i mean it's better to split if one person isn't happy. obviously it's good to stay together for the kids if they're really young, but if it's a toxic relationship, no sense in being together. i've seen marriages where the love's gone, it's really just a contract, and it's pretty sad.

Thank you for the kind words. My 2 beautiful boys had to witness this. I lost so much time with them due to family court. No one ever wins in a divorce and I now can only imagine what they were thinking. It's been almost 20 year (I'm 41) and I can see the pain my kids felt. Mom and I get along great now but I wish is was always that way. Hell, we were kids ourselves getting a divorce. Love you all.

I think the title isn't meant to be taken literally. This song is told from a kid's perspective, "this house is haunted", "it makes no sense at all" are things a kid would think in a parents divorce situation, not understanding what's happening around. I think "stay together for the kids" is not an imperative sentence, but a description of what means to a kid for his parents to be "together". And I think that's implied in the line "and if it's what he wants, and what she wants, then why there's so much pain?", which I think is the kid showing the real meaning of the song: A son wants his parents to be happy, whatever they are married or not, because he'll be happy too. A divorced couple can raise a healthy kid if they had a friendly break up. But if they aren't happy (as you're saying) there's no point of being together.

Just like they thought.

I know what you mean

Baba Booey! I remember Howard loving this song as well. This song hits close to home. Tom DeLonge has such a great voice

As a child whose mom didn't leave her abusive partner, thank you. I suffered through over 10 years of abuse because my mom couldn't/wouldn't leave and I still feel the impacts of the abuse now years later when I'm now married and have children.

My best wishes for you and your kids. Stay strong man.

My son's mother left me after 3 years taking hers 8 year old son (previous relationship/father) who was a huge part of my life and his and my relationship as well as OUR 18 MONTH old son. I've never been hurt by a woman nor hurt so much missing my son. 11 2hour visits since early July '22. Haven't seen him since 30th of October '22. His mother immediately entered a relationship with another man very shortly after she left me. Family court is tough and ongoing. She utilized a family court article 8 family abuse, all hearsay but the court granted a 1 year order of protection for her against me. I am trying to be civil and raise my son with his mother. If I even send a text message, I will be arrested, and she has not made any attempts to make any arrangements for me to see him. This song helps me when I cry. It helps me move forward and make sure that I will always be the best man and father for my son. It helps me put to rest the anger and resentment I have towards my son's mother. It's a great song and I am very grateful for the opportunity to share my situation that involves the importance of this song and that it still has a huge impact on my life as much now as it did years ago. Be well always

SAME! I remember Howard announcing that he and his wife were separating and how it killed him to have to tell each of his three young daughters. He was SO upset and would play this song and get wrecked on-air. He would say he didn't know what it was about but that he was ripped apart by it. When Howard made that announcement, I couldn't get out of bed! It struck me that I was coming to that same decision, and my kids were super young. Ugh...but yeah, I know there are other Howard fans out there that associate this song with his separation and later divorce.

FOR SURE, not a 90s kid tho, BUT FOR SURE

I got laid to this song…. Just kidding I’m still a virgin hello Jesus

They're getting back together for the kids

Born in 63 and and love ther music

idk, I still like old blink best anyway, the first few recordings. After that Blink went downhill and Angels and Airwaves beat anything they were doing. Tom made the right decision to pursue a path to develop himself. Even the last Blink album before he left, Dogs eating dogs, is basically proto Angels and Airwaves. The reunion of course is good news though.

I think he stayed long enough for us
