Yes, because they are YOUR KIDS,so it's your responsibility to take good care of them. Because they might grow up just like you and leaving THEIR kids behind. By staying, you're proving to them just how much you love and cares about them.

Never stay because of the kids...they will be worse off in the long run. Be there for them but dont live there because of them. Kids know when things are wrong in a home.

I wouldn't...because in the long run, living in a household where there in an obviously loveless marriage will do more harm to your kids than simply getting a divorce. I think that you have to be very careful with the way to break the news to your kids, but in the end, they won't be happy if they know you aren't happy, and you don't want them growing up thinking that is how life should be.

hi i just wonted to answer your question i don't think you should stay for the kids because if it is bad enough that you wont to leave then it cant be good for your kids if you think it will hurt the kids just think about how you are hurting them by staying tougher with all the fighting if you are and. If you think they don't know what is going on with you and you spouse your wrong they always know.

It depends on why you want to leave, if it is because of abuse, neglect, or affairs then you should leave as quickly as possible. Immedeiatly if you or your children are being abused. Otherwise if it is because of normal differences you should try to stay and work things out, without screaming and fighting in front of the kids. Maybe get some counseling?

I hate when parents stay b/c of the kids. Kids are not stupid. If you're going to stay and sleep in separate rooms or bicker at each other or fight you might as well leave. Kids need positive, loving environments, not tense, crazy ones.

Depends on the situation, has it degenerated into violence, physical or verbal ? If the 2 adults are behaving like self-centered jackasses, then it is safer for the kids if they are apart. If the adults are otherwise managing their issues so that the kids aren't paying the price, then the adults should make an attempt to resolve issues together. The adults brought the kids on to this planet and they owe it to them to get them to adulthood, safely, healthy and prepared to maintain (survive) on their own.
Only you know how you can do that since your ? had no details.

Not always. If there is cheating and resentment, trust me, the kids know. Kids don't need to see/hear arguing either. If you don't function as a unit that is what your kids learn is normal. So if you have a dughter and she sees that Mom is always yelling or Dad does what he wants no matter if it makes Mom cry, that is most likely what she will do. SOns tend to act out belligerently more so. Good luck to you.Marriages aren't easy.

Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for in these situations. If you stay for them, they will grow up in a home with parents that don't love each other. They will sense this and they will learn that this is what life is about. You may kill their views on love and marriage. Remember, children learn what they live.
Everyone involved should have a fair chance at happiness, including yourself.
Good luck.

What's the situation? If it's "incompatibility", then yes. THere are plenty of studies to show how important for the health and security of kids for their parents to stay together even if it's just for the kids...you made a committment, live with it.
If there is abuse, no...leave immediately, both you you and for the kids.
