So I did want to call it Parent's vs Single Parent but then people would assume I'm asking if they are a single parent or not when it's more of a question about your upbringing an if you were raised by both parents or 1 parent an how it's affected your life as a child growing up and as an advlt.

An who ultimately deserves the most respect the single parent raising 3 boys like my mother or 2 parents raising 3 boys.

How does this have anything to do with Skyrim?

If you really want to make a thread about this, I recommend the community discussion: http://www.gamesas.com/forum/18-community-discussion/

I think you're mistaken on what Nature vs. Nurture means.
It has nothing to do with how many parents you had while you were young. The idea is much more profound than that one simple example.

And all good parents deserve respect. It's a challenge for all of them, single or not.

Very much this.
