[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a SM, not by choice, but live a similar reality: "co-parent and therefore have zero downtime...do not have any financial help, or anyone else than ourselves to rely on."
So, by choice or not, we are still a community of parents who need each other's support. And like all the SM(C) or SP(C) who have responded thus far, I am working in a position that is less than ideal, pays the bills, and accommodates a certain level of flexibility need to raise my DC. FWIW, I am working on building a community of support for our family. So far, it's been a challenge and has taken some time to cultivate a core group of supportive friends and parents. I feel a little lighter knowing that I have them in my corner.

[quote=Anonymous]OP here - SMCs do not have a co-parent and therefore have zero downtime, that is why I was addressing this to other SMCs. Several divorced/ single Moms I know have a 50/50 arrangement with the other parent, who helps out financially and they share the kid 50/50%  or the father has the kid every second weekend etc. Us, Single Moms by Choice do not have any financial help, or anyone else than ourselves to rely on. Therefore my post and question. 
SMC is not an odd classification. It is those Moms who have kids via a sperm donor and did it on their own, i.e. they are not divorced, separated etc. [/quote][/quote]
