maybe men would save us because they know if we die they are gonna have to do all the house work and baby mending LOL

Deff my child. But I think my BF would want that anyways. He would be pissed if I chose him and left our child to die. But I wouldn`t choose him anyways!:P If it were my BF that had to choose I would want him to save our child!

I have no doubts most women would choose their kids over their husbands, but I wonder what the percentage would really be for choosing themselves over their children. I know we instantly think we would save our child before ourselves. I know I do, but I wonder which would take over in the heat of the fight or flight response. I saw on TV the other day a women who skidded off the road into a river and she swam from the car leaving her 4 year old strapped in his carseat. She was hysterical and luckily her husband was just ahead of her and saw the accident, turned around and dove in to get their son. I was dumbfounded she left him, but I am certain if someone had asked her what she would do in that situation she would have answered I would have drown trying to save him, but she choose flight over fight in the heat of the moment.

My husband would want me to save my kids over him. I can see the percentages being that high with men saving their wives over the kids.

My children come before anyone in this world, my mom, husband, anyone. It would be my child. I wouldnt think twice. I could never abandon my child like that.

I chose my child. But husband walks in, and I asked him the same question, and he goes, `neither.` I said, `So you`re going to let us all die???` And he goes, `That`s something that the Nazis used to do. Make mothers choose one child or the other. Either we all make it or none of us do.` My husband. (We`ve been watching a lot of WW II documentaries lately.)

I would save my daughter, my husband would understand. She comes first, as parents it is our purpose to protect our babies. I know that if he had to make that choice, I would want him to save our daughter.

My daughter,not to be heartless but its a big part of urself! Ladies we all survive better without a man! And i think 50% of us could be happier :-)

My hubby is trained to survive lol It`s his job. Ugghh, damn...If I HAD to choose, I`d save my daughter. Why do we only have to save one though? lol

Wow tawny, I am surprised with that study. If my BF saved me and not our daughter, I would be pissed and kill him... hahaha j/k but seriously, I can`t believe that many men would save their wife over their child.

i would save my daughter no questions asked, but i feel like that is an easy decision for me since there is no man i love in my life, and had i to choose between the SD and my daughter.... well lets say i would gladly sacrifice him without the reasoning of being stranded and having to choose. haha harsh, but true. but seriously, even if i was in love with him and we were still together i think it would be harder but i would still save my daughter over him.

I read an article in a magazine a while back that said that in this situation 60% of men would actually choose to save their wife over their child. I mean I suppose that`s great and all... but honestly I could never imagine it. I know this is a horrible decision to EVER have to make, but I know if I ever had to make it, both my boyfriend and I would want the other to save our daughter. Anyway, the article showed that more men would save their wives and more women would save their children. It really shows where our priorities are... don`t ya think? :)
