I agreed with some of what he was saying but disagreed with just as much too, so yes it will be interesting to see what they have in the pipeline.  |
.....& mine of 2 parent family ??
The thing is that it isnt down to whether its one parent family or a 2 parent family, its about the parenting as whole & addressing the socio economic problems too, the rights issues, etc. Mr cameron is implying that in this day & age that the nuclear family thats been broken down over the years is the best one - many of problems has resulted from unhappy parents living together for the sake of the kids thing does not work!! The thing is some people that have had bad exp in childhood do actually carry it over to the next generation than actively recogonising the past & thus changing the pattern so it wont happen in the future & thats the difference - break the cycle !!
I think Mr C needs to accept that families have changed & get into 2006, the dreams of 50yrs ago dont exist, how about supporting & recognising the diverseness in family networks into improving society.
