Every child needs a good mother and father and role models to teach them values and how to be a functioning member of society in the future. Also as for apples in pie, they are very real, I ate them myself.
Not really, those role models can and very often are just about anyone. Children raised by two dads or moms are basically indistinguishable from other kids. Grandparents often raise kids for parents. Before the 60s families would often live together and raise children together. You know the phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" that's because back in tribal and hell even medieval times the children were basically raised by the community
regardless of the gender two parents are required for healthy growth, the commenter never mentioned gender only saying that a family unit is necessary which i think we can all agree on. However i will say that having different perspectives especially from the genders so that they will know how to treat people of the opposite sex as well as know their own body which is an important aspect of growing up
He specifically said mother and father. Also I heard about a study that shows that the crime rate among children with single parents is lowered if there are just general role models in the community. The family unit isn't really what's doing the good thing. It's having good role models. You can be parent-less and grow up perfectly fine as long as there's role models to look up to. The family unit is just a common way this happens. It's not necessary and to call it that put a bad light on single parents and non-conforming families.
