FULL TITLE: Children have a stable home environment and perform better at school if their biological father lives with them (but the same benefits do not apply when a stepfather moves in)
Children are healthier and more likely to grow up with a good education and get a good job if their biological father lives with them, research reveals.
But when a stepfather moves into a family home there are no benefits for the children, the pioneering study of British families found.
The warning over the failure of stepfathers to help the families they bring up was drawn from records of the lives of more than 1,000 children born to single mothers at the turn of the Millennium.
The study, carried out by three researchers from the London School of Economics, checked on reports of the health, intelligence and social skills of the children up to the age of seven.

You may want to homeschool ping this one out..it relates to education
Liberals will attack this study as : 1. An attack on single mothers. 2. An attack on homosexual parents. 3. Liberals will point out how some men are bad fathers, as if the existence of individual less than ideal fathers negates the results of the study.
Remember how Dan Quayle was pilloried for being critical of a TV show which featured a single mother who chose to not be involved with the father of her child??? The liberal view was basically that he was attacking single mothers for talking about the importance of fathers.
Candace Bergman... cant remember the name of the TV show...
My kids’ father died when they were young. I’m thankful for their step-dad. I hope that’s an exception.
For those of us who voted for Trump, this was common knowledge.
Murphy Brown
I think things are different when you are widowed. I know there are different results between losing a parent to death and losing a parent to divorce or never having had one.
Perhaps the difference is in the quality of men that some women choose.
I am sure that you chose well both times so that should make a difference.
I read an article on divorce once and the negative effects of bio-dad leaving the home. They compared them to kids who lost their father due to death experienced. Those whose dad died had a lot less negative effects than those whose dad’s divorced and left.
My sister made a mistake but kept the child that God gave life.
God found a wonderful Christian father for her child and a great husband, both in the same guy.
I was at a seminar and they said even kids that have mom and dad and good families are affected by it, as they think their family is next. I noticed a few times when our kids were young my wife and I would disagree on something (not even yelling - well, arguing, but not yelling) and one of the kids would say “our you getting a divorce?” Sad.
Well Gee, really?
It is God’s will that people care for the children they brought into the world. Nobody else should do it. The only exception should be widows with young children, who should be remarried as soon as possible.
Divorce of couples with children should be banned. Marriage between people who make a baby together should be mandatory. That is the way it would be if we still followed God’s law.
Under a strict adherence to God’s Law, adoption should never be necessary except when a widow remarries and the new husband adopts her kids And abortion, of course, should be completely illegal.
The TV show was Murphy Brown. In the storyline, she got pregnant without a husband, and decided to keep the baby, but also had no relationship with the father afterwards. She chose to be a single mother and chose not to have the father involved in the child’s life.
Or I should say, this is how the Hollywood idiots who write TV shows and movies presented it to us. They presented it to us, as some enlightened action on the part of a woman, pregnant without a husband, who really doesn’t need a husband or a father for her child in the first place.
“Murphy Brown”
Didn’t even the president at the time complain about that show???

My stepson hated me up until he was 18, now he thanks me for making him the man he became.
VP Quayle did mention she was not the best role model and was eviscerated.
My children’s bio-father morphed into a real alcoholic loser.
I only bailed when it got to the battered part.
My current husband of 35 years was tossed by a wife who thought her bf wanted her and the kids instead of just a roll in the sheets.
Prior to our marrying, we only got into one real fight (non-violent) and when the kids came home from their various friends and asked where he was and I replied, “Don’t know and don’t care.” they packed up their stuff and bedding and moved out into the barn!
I lost that round, but we all won, in the long run.
The remaining kids became state-class athletes, got good grades and have stable homes of their own.
So whoever wrote that stuff didn’t research too well. Just enough to write another self-praising screed.
No, I don’t deny that first-time parents are usually the best but I know far too many who may be married but should NEVER be parents.
