A Poll about Families

[Locky]

I have always believed that marriage is for life, and that kids should be brought up by a 2 parent, mixed gender couple.
I realise that this view is considered to be old fashioned, and fully expect to be attacked for holding this view.

Ditto.

married once, two boys 6 & 8...oh and Cameron's a tosser

Bit of a sweeping statement that............I guess you must know him personally.

I guess that will be covered under the 'Something Else' option

And then some !

 

[bhaexpress]

You won't be attacked by me, because I suspect that a majority of people would want that in an ideal world. Afterall, no-one gets married with a view to it having a 5 year shelf life.

However, that's not the majority position any more so what does Cameron actually want to do about it? Does he expect people to stay with violent other halves? Does he want people who are clearly incompatible to stay together "for the sake of the kids"?

It seems to me that he's just pandering to the cosy middle Englander who has lost patience for some reason or other.

Spot on.

Married for 12 years, with 2 kids [9 and 6].

Plus a second wife in Darlington with 3 kids, for when I'm on business trips up North.

And a charming young man called Melvin, in Aberyswyth.

And a badger called Derek.

I've dumped him actually. Went round his field to surprise him, and found him suckling on a cow. The cheating bastard.

Can't believe there isn't an option for 'living on a hippy commune with a bevvy of prostitutes'...

You haven't thought this through Jamie. If it were truly 'hippy', or indeed a 'commune', then personal possession or monetary exchange would almost certainly be discouraged. I think you'll have to find a 'hippy commune with a bevvy of swedish nymphomaniacs' instead.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Married 25 years, two kids both at uni, one cat

Blissfully happy.

Ban Stella Artois. A lot of families will be a lot happier.

I could have written every word of that myself.
