How would you describe your relationship with Howie?
The Doroughs are now and have always been a very close family. Howard has been closer to me than the rest of my children, because we have had more time to spend with each other. He is my and my husband's heart, we love him so much.
What did you argue about the most when he was a teen?
The time he would spend with his girlfriends, taking him away from practicing and rehearsing...
Did Howie always get along with his other siblings?
Howard never fought with his brothers and sisters. He was so much younger than them that they hovered over him as if he were theirs! He always had built-in babysitters with three older sisters. He was 'their baby' sometimes they would fight...OVER HIM!
How does the family feel about Howie being a Backstreet Boys?
This is his dream, his lifelong ambition! Thrilled! we are so happy for him. He really worked hard to get where he is now and he really deserves everything he has attained. We brag about him to anyone who will listen!
