[quote=So Boerd] The argument here can be used to justify anything.So you are telling me that if a husband or wife is tired of the kids they can just take their share of the money, hop on a plane to Cancun and the other partner is selfish for wanting the kids to have their mother/father and the absentee parent is not? Give me a break. [/quote] Only if it's the woman. On a more serious note; you make a couple jumps in your reasoning there, but divorce is a thing. You argue that parents should stay together for their children, even if they are unhappy together or are unable to fulfil their role as parents. I'd say things are a bit more complicated than that; but ultimately we'd be arguing a metaphor rather than the subject at hand. Which is silly. I don't really know why I'm still posting here though.
