On the whole, traditional families are better than alternative families.
Is every traditional family better than every alternative family? No. But on average, traditional families get better results.
I would agree with this, mainly just because traditional families just tend to have more stable environments. Stability is a very important factor in raising a child, and the reason many non-traditional family units gain their structure is because of some largely destabilizing factor.
You don't think love is more important than having a "traditional" family, and what makes you think that a traditional family creates a more stable children? There could be no love in a traditional family, and don't tell me traditional families are more loving.
You're in denial of reality, and simply mouthing politically correct propaganda.
Is every traditional family better than every alternative family? No, of course not. But we're talking trends here. Traditional families, with a mother and father happily married to each other, are the most stable environment for raising kids. Other types of families are generally not as good.
Are you familiar with the statistics on the outcomes of raising kids in alternative families? Children from single parent homes perform worse in school, girls from these homes are more likely to get pregnant as teenagers, and about 75% of those in prison are from single parent homes.
The explosion of single parent homes is a calamity, and the segments of society that have had the greatest explosion have also fared the worst socially and economically.
These are simply undeniable facts that no amount of political correctness can cover up.
The irony of single-parent homes is that they usually originate from traditional family structures failing. Whats the alternative when this happens? Nothing really, you either go to a single-family structure or bust.
Conservatives will probably be Politically Correct and say that single-parent homes don't originate from failing traditional family structures, but they largely do. Maybe not all the time, but most of the time, and we have to find the flaw that causes traditional structures to breakdown. In that sense, an alternative arrangement from the get-go would probably end up better than a failed traditional family setup.
I believe what is being asked "alternative" rather meaning "alternative" from the get-go, not a traditional family breaking down.
