If your partner and kid fell into a river and drowning, who will you save first?

For those who are not married yet, IMAGINE you are and have a kid.





Who will you save if your wife/husband fell into a river with your kid? (taking that none of them know how to swim)








I've actually done a survey and this is what I got.








10 out of 10 married women with kids say they will save the kids first and let the husband drown.





7 out of 10 married man say they will save the wife first and let the kids drown being that they married the girl first because of love and not because of having kids. Kids are replaceable but wife not.





I'm not married or do I have kids but I actually agree with the latter that kids can be replaceable. For me I will save my future husband because I married for love, not for kids. I can get pregnant by your husband again, but I CAN'T bring the husband's life back to earth. Call me selfish or whatever but you have to know that your partner only live once and he/she is the ONE %26amp; ONLY in the world.








What's your view on this? Who would you choose to save?








Thanks for everyone who took the time to read and answer this.If your partner and kid fell into a river and drowning, who will you save first?
Well this is a bit of a vague question. I like to look at the whole picture, and every little detail. For example, what is the age of the child? What are the physical abilities of the child? Same for the wife, what is the age and physical abilities? What about the river? How deep is this river? How strong is the current? Is there any debree (sp?)? What about the weather? Is there any rain? Is the water rising? Is it cold out? Is the river at freezing temperatures? Are there any onlookers? What kind of equipment do I have to use? Do I have any rope perhaps? Or am I to use just my own body to save one or the other? Are the wife and child near each other? Is there a possibility of saving both at once, or are they just too far apart, or the weather / river too rough? How long can each hold their breath? Is each in good health? Ok, so I may be looking too far into this. If I had to answer without knowing any of the details, I'm not sure what I would do. It would be more of an in the moment thing I think. If I had to answer this as a hypothetical, I think I would need years to come up with an answer that I could believe. It's just too difficult. Though, I think I would save the child. If I saved the wife, she would always blame me for not saving her child, whether she admitted it or not, and that would most likely drive us apart in the end anyway. Though like I said, it all depends.If your partner and kid fell into a river and drowning, who will you save first?
I would try to save my child first - that's what I'd want my husband to do, too.


I've actually lost a child, and having had that experience, I know that either I or my husband would do whatever we could to save our child. That would be the best thing we could do for each other and the child.
My husband. I don't have one, but I'm planning on marrying my bf, and i would deff save him before the child. Not that i love my child, but my husband will mean so much to me. Like you said, he's the one and only, and i feel i would want him than the kid. Kids grow up and leave, but partners are for life!
I would save my wife.


The love from a good wife is hard to replace.





I would save both but if I really had to choose it would be my wife. I guess I'm a romantic.


A lot of woman see a man as only a ATM or provider thats why woman always choose the kid.
erm probably the woman, she can make more babies, plus men see a woman as a kind of child in a weird way since we feel the need to protect them and look after them, and for relationships that are still old fashion we still have to pay for them as well! kinda liek a child
the kid... the kid is more helpless and ur supposed to be their protector... u created the kid, their ur flesh and blood... how would u go on living with that guilt....





u can always fall in love again...





wud ur relationship last if u saved ur partner???
I'm not married yet, but i bet my imaginary husband will beat me! So i'll save the kid and watch him drown
Of course my child!
