do you think it,s better for children to have both parents,and if so why

It all depends on the parent. I was raised pretty much by my mother and she did a great job of being mom and dad to me. I really don't think there is a better choice here, it all depends on the adults involved

I don't think just having two parents can make a childs life any easier. I think it is BEST for a child to have 2 loving, good parents. But if there is only one good parent in the picture, than I say it is better for the child to be with the good parent--and the bad parent to be taken out of the picture. It would be much better for a child to only have their mother if their father is an abusive jerk....

Of course I still believe having both parents around is the best. My husband is now based in the province and I am now left to raise our daughter in Manila. Of course I have the help of the nanny and my parents but it is really different if my husband were here also.When he is in Manila, I make sure he bonds with our daughter well and he also showers her with love and discipline!LOL! Seriously, I am now having a difficult time being a "single" parent even if I have the nanny to help me.

It is good for any child to grow up in a loving atmosphere where he feels secure and safe. It doesn't really matter if one grew up with a single parent or both parents. It helps if both parents are there but it doesn't really matter if you are from a broken family.

better. kids may feel lack of something when seeing companions picked up by parents, hearing them talking the gifts their parents buy. the above must influence them mentally.

i would have too say its better with 2 parents but sometimes having two parents can even go wrong.you can be the best of parents and your child still get hooked up with the wrong friends and fair badly.

its always better for children to have happy family. mainly both parents in good relationship. actually parents behaviour make a good impact on them. so bothe parents are needed by them

My View is if both parents can be there as the child growing up that would be the best because this will help the child's development. But if the parents of the kids cant live peacefully together then its better for the child to have one parent at a time.

No Sometimes one parent is enough it all depends on why they are single parents kids do need both parents unless they are a really bad parent and then it is better to have one loving parent in their life.
