Think about this, and heaven forbid this ever has to be a choice for any of us, but let's say your kids one day have to go live with one of two families, and you have to make the decision:

1) A family that lives in a middle-upper class neighborhood or home out in the county, with both adults holding 40+ hour work weeks in their careers (one or both having a college education degrees) or maybe the couple is divorced, yet both parents still play major roles in their lives along with the other attributes I mentioned above

-OR-

2) a family that lives in government housing, one parent only having a high school diploma (the other dropping out of school), neither read above a 3rd grade level and only one of them holds any kind of a steady job; part-time at that.

Which one do you want your kids by the rest of their lives? I know which one I want mine to be raised by and that's family #1 (did I probabaly just piss some people off, yep, sure did and don't care)? What say you?

Of course, given the extreme differences presented by you, I'd want my kids raised in home #1. BUT, be advised that this still is getting away from the point that Doyle was trying to make in his comment, and that was that he/she thinks that is parents are smart, kids automatically are too. NOT true, just saying. Let's get back to the point of this thread, okay? I'm not going to address this point anymore, and if you or any other commenter can't get the point I am making, your loss.
