[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studies have been done on this topic and all report that children living with both biological parents report a higher levels of life satisfaction than those in single parent homes. One of these studies was conducted in 36 industrialized  countries.   [/quote]

I would be interested in reading these studies.  I’m assuming the only difference was having a second parent in the home.  Income levels were the same, ability to do activities were the same, no one had a sibling with SN or grandparents that needed care.[/quote]

It's a different experience, double the adult attention. I feel like every child deserves 2 parents. But that's just me...[/quote]

Why do you think 2 parents means kids have a relationship with both parents? My parents were married and my dad was never home. I am divorced and my kids have a relationship with their dad because of the divorce. When we were married, he did nothing but hide in his room while I did everything. You assume too much. [/quote]
You chose poorly. [/quote]

There is no way of knowing how someone will be a parent in advance. Also, he forced a pregnancy. We had agreed no kids. Btw, this is a man with a professional degree. Emotional abusers and liars don’t reveal themselves until after they are married. [/quote]
