apples and oranges

It's not the number that matters, it's the ability to provide (emotionally and physically), which statistically speaking, married parents have more of than single parents.

I am going to have to disagree with you. There isn't a "good" family value. Just family values. And couples have very little to do with said values.

That's a little pedantic, but alright. The government should be rewarding couples for perpetuating family values, and marriage is a good way to demonstrate that your partner is significant enough to be considered family.

Parents pass on their values to their children if they're convincing enough, so yeah, couples have everything to do with it.

Nope. Single parents do a great job.
I don't think anybody's saying otherwise just that kids are usually better off with two parents.

And I am saying that the number of parents is irrelevant.
Look up the statistics.

It doesn't have to do with the couple dynamic. It has to do with money. Two parents have more.

then explain all the rich kids who turned out rotten, or all the poor kids in single provider two parent households who turned out fine.

no, he misunderstood the point

Single provider two parent households, where one parent works and the other stays home with the kids.

As for Dietrich's objections, every atomic family was like this, and plenty of famines still are.

There was a time that if both parents worked it was seen as odd, and people worried that the kids wouldn't be raised right.

yeah i dont really know what solonoid's point here is

all i'm saying is that statistically speaking kids are better off with two parents: one to embody the traditionally paternal characteristics and one to embody the traditionally maternal characteristics. its not cut and dry but generally speaking missing one of these can really fuck up a kid's prospects at a decent life.

Family values are not dependent on the number of parents. They're dependent on the parents themselves. The reason why two parent households tend to have a higher number of well adjusted kids is that there isn't the stressor of a lack of money. That's it. Being poor or single doesn't mean you can't impress upon your kid(s) family values. As Solonoid said you can be rich and screw it up.

This is my point.

A two parent family is not more stable for the children solely because of two incomes.
There have been (overwhelmingly) plenty of single income families with two parents in which the children have turned out just fine. Inverse to this, there have been plenty of wealthy families in which the children turned out like shit.

A single parent is perfectly capable of doing a fine job, but statistically speaking, they do so less often, and the 'atomic' example is an excellent foil to this.
