"The whole concept of family should be based on the nurturing of the kids, IMO."
I agree. But society today just isn't geared to doing that.
I have to agree that that is the case with many people but not the case with many. Our society should return to the era of a family oriented society and it has to start somewhere. The first step should be to firm up the way marriage is looked upon and encourage raising kids by a mother and a father.
