Staying Together For The Kids?

With all this talk about Jon And Kate Plus 8's cheating drama, it's easy to wonder how many families are actually happy or just doing it for show or more importantly, the kids.

All you need is a television or computer to find out the cheating scandal behind Jon and Kate Plus 8's couple Jon and Kate Gosselin. First Jon's cheating, then Kate strayed away, and now "sources" say they've had a miserable marriage for years and just stay together for the children (and show).

Whether or not their situation is true, this idea of staying together just so the kids can have a "healthy enviroment" does ring true in some households. But how healthy is it for the children to be brought up in a hostile home that has surpressed tension between both parents because of how unhappy they are?

Though a controversial topic, it's shockingly something that is more popular than you may assume. We at MyRegistry.com are curious:

Is it worth staying together for your kids? What bad/good effects do you think come out of it?

I would never stay together with my husband for my kids. Well, I'm divorced so I guess that confirms my statement. heh KIDS FIRST!!!

That's a horrible decision to make. You may think staying together for the kids is going to help them in the end, but it's not. I know because my parents never got along and stayed together for my sister and me, and it really made us hate married people for a while. haha I mean, we grew up and we're both happily married with kids, but trust me, you'll do your kids a favor by getting a divorce. No matter what it's going to be tough on you and them, but it's better than having negative energy floating around in your house and affecting your kids in a bad way.
