I wrote that post because I was in some debates with people who were convinced that a child needs a mother and a father, yet nobody could say specifically what one gender can provide that the other parent cannot.<BR/><BR/>They kept using child rearing problems of single parenting as their reference.Steve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797856165404512356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347827.post-1150661163065764792006-06-18T14:06:00.000-06:002006-06-18T14:06:00.000-06:00Well said, Christine.

One of the women does not have custody of her 14 year old son because she is a lesbian--even though the psychological evaluations demonstrated that she and her partner are healthy while her son's father and his wife have psychological problems. <BR/><BR/>Where did this take place? Albany, NY. It happens all over the US. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate your sensitivity. <BR/>PetersonPeterson Toscanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189029949905668568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347827.post-1150657781481864862006-06-18T13:09:00.000-06:002006-06-18T13:09:00.000-06:00Christine,As always, I appreciate your thoughts an...Christine,<BR/>As always, I appreciate your thoughts and share your sentiments. Tdub was/and is such a wonderful father. He fathered his boys during their formative (potty training) days all alone and did such a suberb job...and yeah....he was acting/living as a gay man during that time. It just had nothing to do with his skills/nuture/ability to parent...because he never allowed his sex life to interfere with his parenting. Would that ALL folks of WHATEVER proclivity, would respect their children as much. Parenting, like SO MANY other areas of life, has very little to do with what is going on in the bedroom...unless WE, the adults, allow it to. Does that make sense?<BR/>I hope so. :)<BR/>love,<BR/>gracegracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353719852472577554noreply@blogger.com
