[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note that the baseline for comparison is a household with two parents in a stable and healthy marriage. I am 50 years old, and I've seen quite a bit in this life. The overwhelming majority of single parent families I know are single parent for a reason - that baseline healthy 2 parents family was not feasible due to the significant issues with at least one of the parents. If the kids end up troubled, it's not at all clear to me that this is due to being raised by single parent, as opposed to the issues that led to being raised by a single parent. This is the old correlation <> causation issue.[/quote] Completely agree with this. [/quote] I just posted, but this is a really good point. If there is abuse, addiction, etc do they really think the kid would have turned out better in a 2 parent home?[/quote]
