Or Madam and Eve. It seems that two parent families on average do
better than one parent families, but it doesn't really matter what
the gender make-up is. There's some evidence that homosexual two-
parent families do slightly better than heterosexual ones, but I
suspect that's a self-selecting effect - it's a much more deliberate
process to start with going out to adopt or IVF, so the parents have
a larger stake in it than a lot of heteros who "had an accident and
now there's a baby".
But I know single parents who are bloody brilliant and couples who
are below par...
Quite so. The difference between individuals (and couples) is always
far greater than the difference between stereotypes.
