I wish more men considered this route. As of now, women are mostly the ones going this route. I think men should seriously consider doing so as well.[/quote]

I don't. Women should not do  it either.

Plenty of research finds that kids in single parent households on average have worse outcomes in life, controlling for income.

The only group which does OK is girls who are raised by single parent mothers.

Children deserve both a mother and a father. [/quote]

Actually, this isn't true. Studies have shown that children raised in single mother by choice households do just as well as children from 2 parent households. The issue is single parent by circumstance. Most issues there come from financial stress, relocation, and parental conflict.

Personally, if I could do it over again, I would have been a SMBC. I'm a divorced mom, and I already find it easier parenting without a man than with one.
