:roflmao: Uh, no sweetheart. That is not scientific research :lmao: But now I at least know what I am dealing with.

Do you know any families with gay parents:confused:

First of all I am not your sweetheart and please tell me "what you are dealing with"?

And if I should answer your question on if I know any gay families please tell me what that has to do with anything? (I think I know what you are trying to get at) So, on that line of thinking would I need to know a family that lost a child to a gun to know that children should not play with guns?

I am not going to sit here and go back and forth with you three. I have a feeling you are all single moms and some how I have offended. I am sorry if you feel offended I only state what most studies have shown. I am sure you are doing the best job you can.

I don't know about the other two, but you guessed the wrong gender in my case.

I'm going to guess she means another religious nut case.

I am dealing with a person that hangs onto whatever authority she needs to make her feel safe in this world. Your religion tells you something is wrong, but with out any of your own, personal evidence, you jump on the band wagon. I will tell you this, children need love. You can take that to the bank. Kids don't care what you have in your pants. They want to be safe, loved and fed. Any combination of loving adults can create this reality for a child. Are Dads important? Absolutely. Can children be successfully raised with out them? Yes. It is the same for mothers. If you don't know this as a fact, than you have not lived through enough pain yet.

First of all as most of you know, my hubby just found out he had a 16 year old son he knew nothing about. We found that the child was removed from his mothers home due to abuse and neglect (that and CS were the reason my dh was finally located and told) anyway, the foster home they placed him and his siblings in was a home with "two mommies" and these two ladies are the most loving, compassionate and caring people I have ever met and I see no difference in the way that they love a child than the way a mommy and daddy would love a child.

I say there are far too many children in the world without families and trying to find that "perfect" family or their stereotype of what that may be is first of all impossible and ridiculous. No family is perfect and as long as the parents, whatever their gender may be love the child, care for the child and are parents to the child then I see nothing wrong with it.

After all, most of these children who are abandoned and abused are not coming from homes with two mommy's and two daddy's they are coming from homes with a crappy mom and a crappy dad.

Actually no but if it makes you feel better about yourself you can think that.

Come on, give me a break!!!!! Did I say that at all. All you parents out there get so uptight when someone says that a mother and father make the best situation. Obviously a drug addicted, physically abusive parent whether mother or father would not be good for the children. Do you understand what I am saying? They best thing for a child is a loving mother and father in a loving marriage!!! Is that clear enough.

Says who? Who made you judge and jury?

Non-traditional families can be just as functional, if not more functional, than traditional families.

Over protective Moms, are naturally afraid. I know it bothers you when folks aren't pro gay but I hope you can understand.

I wasn't just referring to gay families there... any family that is not heterosexual male and heterosexual female would be considered non-traditional.

That could be 2 women, 2 men, a single father, a single mother, etc.

Thought of this thread yesterday when one of the neighbor kids asked me if it was ok if he thought of me as his second mom. The kids on our court all play with eachother and the kids think of the other moms as their moms because we "do what moms do" (as one kid told me). We feed them, watch them play, fix their boo-boos, discipline when needed, etc. I felt very honored that he considered me his "second mom".

As far as the topic at hand, I believe that it doesn't matter who the participants are, as long as the kid is cared for and taken cared of, it's a family.
