[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DC is dating someone I ask (and hopefully it is natural to do so?) - what do the parents do? And Are they still together? If I’m asking I guess it does matter to me. I’d prefer if the parents were still married, as I think it speaks to the values with which a person was raised (and I’m saying this dully aware of the hardships that I know many family and friends have had to resolve or overcome in order to stay in their marriages) [/quote]

I think it matters more what kind of person your DC is dating, and what type of people their parents are, regardless of their marital status.

I’m the PP a few posts above with the single mom. Trust me, when my DH was on his deathbed, whether or not my parents were divorced never came up. What did come up was how I kept our household running (emotionally, logistically, and financially) while simultaneously managing my DH’s medical care. When the creek rises, your parent’s marital status is not a consideration.  The person who helped me bail all of that water - that single mom that people were questioning before we got married. Don’t judge.[/quote]
