[quote=Anonymous]I've been a SMBC for 13 years. It has generally been fine. It helps that I only have one reasonably healthy child. The decent job with regular hours and adequate salary helps too. This isn't too surprising, according to network theory. A family of two will always have fewer logistical difficulties than a family of four. The most difficult thing is the lack of emergency backup. Again, the adequate salary and sick leave generally give me the time and cash to solve those sorts of problems. I don't put too much stock in the ideal of the perfect, two parent family. I grew up in the 70s, when people still had kids out of a sense of obligation. I knew so many kids in UMC homes with terrible parents. Parenting ability is way more important than structure. [/quote]
