re: Coworker of mine is getting a divorce

Why would you think that this:

quote:

---

Dad's are ususally teachers and standard bearers. We tell our kids the truth and hold them accountable.

---

Is more important than this:

quote:

---

Mom's are nurterer's, care-takers

---

They seem equally important to me.

quote:

---

It is not about how much money they make or how old they are.

---

When it comes to outcomes it absolutely does matter. Not raising a kid in poverty is a huge boost, I don’t think that can be argued.

And the relative age difference likely has a lot to do with single moms propensity to do this:

quote:

---

Many mom's want to be friends with their kids instead of parents

---

And a single dads ability to do this:

quote:

---

Dad's are ususally teachers and standard bearers.

---

Age matters because maturity drives both those things.
