[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's stupid. I have kids who were born out of wedlock. Their father and I just never felt any desire to get married. So we haven't. Everyone is thriving.

It's 2020. No need for marriage to have a baby.[/quote]

This is what I tell my kids. Be loving and responsible to the kids/mother, if this is the course you choose.[/quote]

Numerous studies have shown that having children out of wedlock means worse outcomes for the children involved.  That statistic isn’t going away anytime soon.[/quote]

I don't think those statistics account for or apply as directly to scenarios where the parents are post-grad educated with high HHI. Statistically it's not ideal for the parents to be unmarried but reality is more nuanced.[/quote]

Exactly. Those statistics are assuming poverty due to not being married. Traditionally, they have worse outcomes due to finances. If a woman can support a kid, there is no reason to get married just to have a kid and in fact, it will make the kid's life so much worse having to deal with parents who don't like or can't stand each other.[/quote]
