Which of the two do you think will have less negative impact on kids??
A- Parents divorce…and kids live with one of the parents…and don’t have the other parent in their life
B-Parents stay married…both parents just continue to live together in a bad marriage…but the kids get to live with BOTH the parents…and have them in their life..
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
A. Although most desis will think A is the worst...
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
Less negative impact? That would be A.... kids suffer more in a bad marriage so better to get divorced than stay in a bad marriage.
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
*B ruins a lot of people. *

B. Although most desis will think A is the worst...
So, you agree with them in that since you picked B being the **lesser **of two evils.

I agree.
*B ruins a lot of people. *
So your answer, then, is A.

WTF... NO!!! I thought it was "greater evil"!! Edited my post...
Surely, A is better!
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
If husband is supporting his children then definitely A is better option.
Re: Lesser evil…Divorce/single parents…Bad marriage/both parents
Hence, the clarification. 
And stop calling me Shirley!
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
life is not as black and white as portrayed in this hypothetical question. Beside other things it also depends on the eduction of parents, their economic condition and social status.
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
*yes, A. though meeting the other parent can be an option..nothing to hide. *
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
It's a matter of perspective like Decent said. Kids from the same family, and each with internalize the impact of a parent's bad marriage differently.
For one child, having a conflict-free home is best, hence will prefer that parents are divorced/separated. For another child, having an intact but dysfunctional family unit is better, since all of the members of the family are "together" in the same household.
And then moving on to: what if after the parents divorce, one parent doesn't financially or emotionally support the children because he/she is living away from the kids. In that case, wouldn't the children have been better off with the parent staying in the marriage. In the opposite situation, what if the parents stay together for the sake of the children, but the children see infidelity or emotional/physicial abuse - aren't those parents setting a bad example or pattern of behaviour for their children?
What situation has the least negative impact differs from one family to the next and from one child to the next.
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
Option B is worse
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
speaking from experience, option b is the greater evil.

this...
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
how to post a poll ..that would've been better..
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
Depends on how the marriage is bad?
If it's abuse, like beating, drugs etc, then yeah, option B is worse.
But if it's other stuff that doesn't fall into the lines of verbal/mental and physical abuse, then I think A is the wrose option.
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
umm i think A would have less impact on the kids .. it's much better then B. So yea i agree with option A. Lol
Re: Lesser evil...Divorce/single parents........Bad marriage/both parents
Option A..
Re: Lesser evil…Divorce/single parents…Bad marriage/both parents
