Quality not quantity!
The idea of people "staying together for the sake of the children" does make me sad actually.... how awful to have to put up with a horrible relationship.
Can only have a negative effect on children if parents are always arguing and it lets them grow up with a skewed idea of what a normal relationship is like.
I wonder if any parents that make that sort of descision also resent their children ever so slightly too.

I grew up just with my mum, until she met my sisters waste of space dad..I was also happy to see the back if him.
Nothing worse for a child to be in the middle of an unhappy relationship, whether you know they are or not....they are and they know

That is awesome. As someone who grew up with unhappy parents I totally agree with the article.
It's very difficult because we try to be as amicable as possible for Lucas so we're pretty friendly to each others' face, but Lucas doesn't then understand why we can't all live together as a family because we're all such good 'friends'
(We did try, last year, it didn't work out, but Lucas still asks if he can come live with us on a regular basis). I think while he's still so small he might feel like he's missing out, once he gets a little older he'll realise it's for the best.
He's already milking it for all it's worth with his birthday this week, he's realised if Mummy says no to a present request there's always Daddy
