Do daughters cause divorce?

http://www.slate.com/id/2089142/

Obviously now I can just blame my sister.

and let the battle of the stoner sexes start.......................................now!

 

if they spend the shit out of the family's money,
yes

 

Girls have cooties.

 

that was the most ridiculous article i've ever read. i believe what they say about china and other countries of that sort, but here? please. don't "blame" the girl for your failure at providing a solid household, and don't "rely" on the boy for keeping it together.

the writer of this article needs to get punched in the face.

 

gotta agree with girlie up here..
I must say however, that some women see other women, yes, even their own daughters as competiton for the male's attention. Its sick, I know, since it would be two completely different kinds of attention. Well, hopefully. this i know, because my mother is that type of person. In reality, its not the daughter that causes the divorce, its the mother's insecurities.

 

Exactly I don't see how a daughter would cause divorce more so than a boy, especially since EVERYONE knows boys are much more trouble than girls. Also the parents don't get a divorce to separate themselves from their daughter, that is what boarding school is for. THey get divorced to get the fuck away from each other.

 

I don't think thats true lol.

And girls cost more I guess.

 

I disagree! I think boys and girls cause different kinds of trouble, and girl trouble is usually a lot harder for parents to deal with in my opinion. That is mainly because when girls get in REAL seriously trouble, they get preggo.
I'm wayyy more nervous to raise a girl than a boy, boys are easier emotionally for the most part.

 

You obviously didn't grow up with me and my two brothers. The first 5-6 years was constant fighting, crying, breaking shit. I don't even know how my parents put up with us haha. Also, I certainly cost just as much as a girl, I love my expensive things, but I don't like paying for them

 

I can see how my sister could fuck things up...

 

well if the reason theyre not getting a divorce is they think the boy should have a father figure or they don't wanna hurt the boy, it's not really any different since the parents still don't love each other they're just staying together to not hurt the kid but it could be just as bad if they have a really bad relationship n shit

 

Whereas I do agree about that; there's that sorta "boys will be boys" attitude about male aggression.

I think in a lot of cases girls, especially teen girls, are a lot harder to connect with, especially for the father. They are a lot more emotionally umm... insane... and the guys head for the hills.
Also, females like to team up and alienate men. +_+

 

I gotta say people calling bullshit are ignoring the statistical data, now it could just be a fluke, or it could be no matter how advanced and modern we think we are in this country there's still deep rooted ancient psychology in us, or just deep rooted psychology from 65 years ago.

 

parents start the divorce. if the kids are out of hand blame the parents.

end of story.

 

i think this was a really biased and stupid article..
plus the percentages werent impressive at all.. 5%? 9%? so what?

girls may be harder to deal with than boys,
but i don't think its girls that cause divorces at all..

 

Finally, someone actually challenging the statistics logically instead of disregarding them without reason.

In this case, with so much data and so much correlating information, 9% is damn significant.
5%, maybe not, but again, there is just so much correlation.
It may be interpreted by you as trivial information; but there is certainly some thing(s) behind these numbers.

 

My sister does fuck shit up

 

i think boys are more trouble as kids since were basically dumb as shit untill we hit about 13 but then i think it switchs to girls being more trouble cause speaking as sombody who lived with a teenage girl until a couple months ago, talk about nonstop drama over teh stupid shit imaginable

 

yes. girls in general are just a bad idea.

man power!

ffs who comes up with this shit anyway...

 

More women = more nagging.

There is no arguement against that... makes sense really... :sifone:
