I've seen quite a few posts with women mentioning that after they divorce, they get the kids full-time. Is this a control issue? An attachment issue? A fear issue? Or just a distance issue where one parent is far away? Just curious here - fortunately one of the few benefits of divorce for me is that i will get two wk breaks a month :)

I do understand what you are saying based on this post. I was referring to the observation you made that you personally believe that all parents or people are fit to raise children, and was just wondering if you had specific of general guidelines when it might not be in the best interest of a child to be raised by one (or both) of their parents. Usually, statements that include the word ALL make me nervous....ALL parents are fit to raise children, or, the inverse, ALL fathers are unfit to raise children, etc.

Well, it does feel good sometimes to make those blanket statements.... "all men are losers".
