No disadvantage to having two mums, study finds

NBR staff | Wednesday February 03, 2010 | 7 comments

Having two mums is no worse than having a mum and a dad and could be better than having a solo parent, a review of research on the subject has found.

The review, published in the February issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family, found that while there is a common perception that children need both a mother and a father to do well, there is no research that shows this.
