This was a campus tour presentation and this was her observation on what matters among admitted families. According to her admitted students are more likely to come from intact homes.

Not test scores, nothing else apparently. Marital status...[/quote]

Intact families directly correlate with higher test scores and more success in life.

You can't really say it this decade in the era of perpetual offense, but the most positive thing you can do for kids' development is raise them in an intact, 2 parent household with both their mom and their dad.  This is a statistical truth.[/quote]

Cool. Do you have a time machine? [/quote]

I mean no…….but it’s not like you didn’t already know this, right? Did you somehow reason that this was a GOOD thing for your kids to split their time between two households and have their mental, physical, and emotional energy and attention consumed by adult drama of divorce?
I know it must have been a tough decision for you and your spouse, but it would be hard to believe that you thought divorce would have no negative impact.[/quote]

50/50 custody wasn’t a thing when I was growing up. I spent every other weekend with my dad I never felt like it wasn’t enough time. I lived in one house and spent 4-5 days a month at my dad’s. I feel for kids whose lives are upended and they never feel at home due to 50/50 custody. [/quote]
