    Whoa! Kids don’t care about legal documents but happy guardians? I’m shocked!

    No but seriously, the sampling is terrible.

    Our study involved surveys, interviews and observations with 41 heterosexual and LGBTQ+ parents from 23 elective co-parent families in the UK, the US and Europe.

    Yeah no shit there’s no difference between families in affluent countries. Try sampling in Asia or Africa or first generation immigrants. The kids would get bullied & taunted so badly they’d resent their unmarried parents. The societal outlook on an unmarried couple & children having pride in their family units is a major determinant a child’s happiness.
