Ha ha, so sorry! I did read your sentence exactly WRONG! As you point out. So, no need to argue back against me. I do apologize for being so annoying.
As for your later point about mom and dad, that is an assertion that would make a good working hypothesis, but it is not clear that any two parents won't be able to reach the same measurable objectives.
Now I hope I read that right! :)
It is only an assertion that it is better to have a mom and dad? Sorry, you are what is wrong with America, my friend. That ideas is so foolish as to almost appear to be a Saturday Night Live skit. Why not a mom and a dog who really loves and protects the child? Men and women bring different things to a child that two people of the same sex can never bring.
