I was raised in a Foster home and I can tell you it would have been so neat to have a dad. Having said that I have a Masters degree and my brother is at the top of his field. My brother and I both feel the affects of being raised that way. So yeah we do better than many but still it could have been better. When I see those pictures of those guys going fishing with their dad I am jealous and yet happy for them.
If you have 2 guys are two women raising you it won't replace what's missing.
well, yes and no........like i said, i never knew my dad....from what i'm told, he came home drunk one night right after i was born, and almost shot my uncle. that was the end of that. grandpop kicked him out, and he was never heard from again.
anyway, being as i never knew him, it was perfectly normal to me......sometimes kids would ask me if it was weird not having a father. i'd simply reply with a question.....""isn't it weird HAVING"" a father? they usually didn't know how to react to that, but as i said, to me it was normal. i would imagine it would be about the same for kids with same sex parents, although i don't really know. only time will tell the story on that, but if they're doing a good job, and teaching their kids to keep out of trouble, then again, although there may be something missing, their kids will come up better than those who have hetero parents that just don't give a dam....and there are PLENTY of them.
BTW......WTG on the masters!!
