[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Couples should really only stay for the kids until middle school at that point the children are very smart and articulate and can tell a judge who they want to live with and which parent is really the preferred parent .[/quote] And teens will pick the one that lets them smoke pot in the house.[/quote] No- they actually will choose the parent who does the heavy lifting and actually parents.[/quote] No they dont.[/quote] I can't speak for all kids. But I closely watched a divorce where the dad had been largely "there" throughout his daughter's life, but never did the difficult part of parenting (setting limits, etc). So when the parents separated the daughter initially wanted to stay with her dad. Within 2 months she was 50-50. By the time the divorce was finalized she requested to be full time with her mom. Because her mom did the work, set limits, put her daughter's well being first. [/quote]
