[quote=Anonymous]This has become sort of a low-key pet peeve of mine. I have a couple of friends whose partners bailed when they were pregnant; totally absentee fathers who spend little to no time with their kids and contribute nothing financially. I think these are single parents. Likewise I know someone whose wife very tragically died when their DC was about a week old. Single parent. Divorced people who have some co-parenting/custody arrangement which also includes enforceable child support, or in which one parent willingly pays child support in order to make sure kids are cared for, are not single parents. They have a hard row to hoe, and I would not want to be in their shoes. But not the same thing. [/quote]
