Another Kind of Parenthood

It has been long known that children from traditional two parent homes do better in general than children raised in other family structures.

But modern society pushes other family structures, so be it.
It's been long known? Really? That is where we are now in our discourse? It's been long known?

Some people say...

Goodnight Fox News. Tomorrow is another day.

Look at the research.


I was born to a married couple and grew up with two parents, neither of whom chose to have children. I would rather not have been born.

Parenting should only be undertaken if both adults are focused on it. Children have a right to be loved and wanted if they are born.
No child should be born unwanted. Contraception is available, abortion should be available to cover its occasional failures.

If you aren't prepared to love your child, don't force it to be born.
If you don't believe in abortion, you have two obligations: either mind your own business, or be prepared to raise with love every unwanted child you have forced to be born.

Not sure why you are against euthanizing unwanted kids.

Why wouldn't I be?

Because you are for killing babies who could survive outside the womb if the child is unwanted.

Why does it matter if the child is inside or outside the mother?

As long as they love the child and care for it, I’m sure it is a kind of workable.

There is a problem, I think, like with open relationships, that generally one of the two (or more) parties wants more than the other (in terms of personal involvement).

Not sure where to stand on the whole issue.
So, yeah, as long as the kid is loved and looked after, fine.

That's just sad.
So where is the father now in this and what are his rights in raising and being with his child?
Clearly the father is involved it’s just skipping the angry eventual messy breakup that is so damaging to the parents and child.
It’s a logical step in an unconventional direction.
If your scared of change your scared of life.

The focus should be on the child - whatever is best for the child. That is the ultimate responsibility for parents or other adults who take on that role.

Well if a man is ok walking away from his child that’s up to him but it would not be a choice I would make.
I think there are as many men as women who want parenthood but not a relationship. I do not see why this model wouldn’t be a solution for men and women.

A single parent is often more vulnerable, and the child is too, should something happen to its parent. If the parent, who chooses to walk away only helping financially, is willing to assume practical and legal responsibility if needed, then fine.
