It may not be PC to mention this, but every study carried out shows that, on average, children of single parents do worse than those of married couples (even those who stay together for the sake of the chidlren). I am happy they are apparently making a go of it; a child does not deserve to suffer because its parents are emotionally immature.

Fcuk statistics, there are about as useful as your posts on this thread :rolleyes:
How many lone parents do you think they have surveyed, jesus this thread has certainly bought out the numptiness in some people.

You can find a survey & it's statistics to support anything - My parents were married for 37 years, yet 3 out of 4 of us are divorced, 2 of those engaged, and the other never married.....and on the other hand, my 2 DS's are both 3-A level students, both now at Uni, having been part of a single parent family for 8 years.

Personally, I think all this talk of statistics & surveys has put the OP off coming back. And to be honest, I don't really blame her, as I don't think she would get a supportive welcome back.

Sammy-kaye, IF you read this, Hope it all works out for you

Liz Hurley, Madonna, Gail Porter, Kate Winslet, oh and me. I have been a single mum for three and a half years and I am amazing!!:p


Whats your point???


You could apply the same logic to two parent families.

It's not how many parents a child has, but how loved they are and how much time they spend doing things together.

I think the biggest problem for a single parent family is that they often have to work longer hours to make the money necessary to live on and therefore don't get the time they would like with their child. This problem can be solved with the addition of loving (and helpful) grandparents or other family members.

The very worst thing for any child has to be being brought up in a home without love!
