two woman raising a child (lesbian relationship)

interesting comment

thanks. i am interested in what makes children turn out the way they do

I agree because even though i am a single mother, I have learned that children do need a male role model

It's true, I agree. All of the kids I grew up with, and knew through high school and college, who didn't know their fathers had issues with it growing up. The girls were either promiscuous because they tried to find that father figure in every boy/man, or they greatly distanced themselves away from boys/men. They were so afraid of getting hurt by another man that they were scared to get emotionally involed. They usually felt very alone and unappealing no matter how much attention or assurance was given to them. The boys I knew that didn't know their fathers seemed to be extrememly hard on themselves. It was like they were trying to prove to themselves that they were worth staying around for, to prove that their fathers missed out on knowing them. Then others just seemed to stay angry and tried to act like they cared less. They seemed to be the ones that were in the verbally abusive relationships in high school/college. One thing they've all had in common though: Insecurity. I realize kids are going to be insecure during the formative years with or without a father, but the ones who did not have that male figure around had a tougher and more doubtful time. They were doubting themselves already because he wasn't there. I say, a child needs a male and female figure in their life.

that was a really good answer to my question. it actually covers another question that i had asked "Do children need a male role model". I agree 100% with you. thanks, you get a best response!

yes i think children need both male and female influence no matter what

i bet kids would hear their parents say negative things and then in turn say mean and rude things to the kids

I don't think there is anything wrong with gay or lesbian people raising children. There are alot of kids who are raised by two women in today's society. Whether they are being raised by their grandmother and mother,or mother and aunt. I don't think what two people do in their bedroom would hinder the ability to raise children. If anything, I think there are more messed up kids with straight parents than gay parents but this is only my view. Live and let live.

love is important. i think that is what makes a well rounded child
