> I was raised by a single mother and a tight knit extended family (grandmother+grandfather+uncle). I don't think he implied that it is true in every single case. If you had to bet a lot of money on a random family with happily married parents vs. a single-mom, where would you place your money? A better statement would be "families raise better kids." You had a family because you had a close extended family. That isn't a normal occurrence.
