Children who live with both parents have better life chances than those who live in single parent households. To what extent can this view be justified?

Single parenting is rarely through choice, it doesn't need to be justified.

Children in two parent homes also have double the chance of being abused.

Bouidicca Children in two parent homes also have double the chance of being abused. Lol, I love you Bouidicca. It's very hard to be a single parent and it takes a special type of person to do so. Namely my Mom. |

Both have a chance of being problematic (abuse, trauma, ignorance of child development, ignorance of mental illnesses).... and I'd choose to be a single parent simply because it's easier for me.

 We all meandered through our schooling haphazard; so, to God be thanks,I don't like this generalization. Children do best coming from happy, healthy, loving households. It really does not matter how many people are at the head of that household or who they are to those children. ...it's easy, without too much fooling, to pass for cultured in our ranks. |

I was raised entirely by my mom. I don't know who I would be without her.

You just don't stop being awesome do you? Being called "awesome" makes me smile, I admit. But I know others on here think me a twit. Some like me and hate me of this I am sure. But I've never claimed that my soul is too pure. For pissing off some is a pleasure I adore. If they can't handle the truth, then here is the door! |

Flamefist_Aces Children who live with both parents have better life chances than those who live in single parent households. To what extent can this view be justified? Kids do better when they have more support. Having two parents just helps this. The fact that there are two parents around isn't anything magical or special in itself. |

I raised my mom alone and she turned out great.

You can have two parents without them being married. Being married doesn't make your relationship stable, and the inverse.
And if two parents are good, three must be better! But strangely, very few people seem to take this angle. |
