| Subject: How a father's parenting of a teenage daughter can increase chances of divorce Tue Oct 10, 2017 8:15 pm | |
| Parents are more likely to separate during their children's teenage years if their first child is a girl. This effect peaks when children turn 15, when couples are 10 per cent more likely to divorce, and drops off by the time they are 19. It occurs most often in families with strong traditional attitudes to gender roles, and where the father grew up with sisters the effect disappears. These are the findings of extensive study by researchers at Melbourne University.
The study looked at data on over two million marriages in the Netherlands and considered other large scale studies of family life in that region. They found strong evidence of fathers reporting strained relationships with their partners and teenage daughters that did not exist when the first child was male.
