Maybe this isn't the place to ask, but has anyone had any issues seeing their kids?

It's easy to generalise but we don't know the circumstances surrounding each case. People tend to get married and have kids because they love one another. Many people choose to live together as man and wife and have children but never tie the knot.

Who is to say who is right? Each case has to be judged on it's own merits. Anyone who thinks otherwise must have rocks in their head.

I am generalising, but I don't have rocks in my head.

It's a proven fact that kids with two parents (living together) grow up to be more successful and happy.

Im not getting in to a slanging match with you Nat, however...

My mother dumped me on my dad aged one and disappeared - never shown any interest whatsoever, no birthday cards, no Christmas cards, etc. I know she is still alive but she left - my dad had to bring me up on his own along with my grandparents.

My dad re-married about 10 years ago. I call her mum even though she isn't.

I never lived a life of poverty due to being in a single parent family, I wanted for nothing. Ok, my dad had a little more money than most single parents do and could we could afford a much better standard of living than most.

The point im trying to make is this - I was brought up in a family that you would consider 'dysfunctional' - I turned out fine, I went through school, college and university, bought a house at 26 and have a fairly decent job - all before 30.

So I think your maths are messed up. Yes, some kids from so called 'dysfunctional' families turn out bad, but plenty of kids from 'perfect' families also turn out bad. I think its more down to class, ignorance and bad parenting than actually who the child lives with.

Its a known fact that most kids in single parent families are happier as one parent always spoils the child and they have somewhere to 'run away' to, in a manner of speaking.

You and I both know the REAL reasons for broken Britain - and single parent families are not one of them. Your Trolling...

You're obsessed with your house and good job. That doesn't determine whether you turned out decent or not.

Look at your rants on here, you clearly have a mental streak, I have no doubt you would have a punch up with half the folk on here if this were reality.

It's not your fault, I blame your parents for not sticking together. Unfortunately I fear you are going to repeat their mistake.

You once claimed your Dad went to prison for embezzling money from the Council. I'm not sure that can be classed as successful.

Of course you probably made it up.

You Mum clearly wasn't ready to have a family, therefore she shouldn't have had you.

Ok, you've turned out ok thanks to your father and stepmother, but can't you accept that this is not the norm.

As I di not mention which side of the family and you automtically assumed my fathers side makes me think that you have no sense of obligation or gratefulness for any persons mothers side of a family.

This subject is on my mind because on Friday night, one of my best friends told me he has got a girl he has been seeing pregnant.

Your friend is a ponce who can't take responsibility for his actions. If he'd kept his knob in his pants he wouldn't be in this situation.

I am 100% against abortion, it is a sin and murder. It really is that simple. People dress it up in many ways, but it's killing an innocent child whatever anyone says.

However, we have enough people on this planet already so it would be better for the future of human kind to put a limit on each couple to one child. Single people should not be able to have children. Harsh, but it has to be done.
