Ultimately, your children will be reflection of you. If you want them to be a certain way, you have to be that way. They easily see the hypocrisy of do as I say and not as I do.
However, most parents just won't admit having children is at best mediocre and at worst life crippling. Children turn out best with young, cash strapped parents that have functional and healthy relationship, having only one parent means the kid is not receiving adequate attention even if that parent is doing their best. Also seeing their parents go through different partners after the divorce is not a healthy way to instill good relationship values into children.
