[quote=Anonymous]I got the same questions, but in my case, I didn't really mind. I figure they're my friends and they are concerned about me and want to know things are ok. they are probably also just curious about ways of life that are different from their own, which is not necessarily a bad thing. the way you answer them could affect how they view single mothers going forward. You don't have to tell them *everything.* Imagine you're a PR agent for yourself. What is the story you want out in the world? You're not the only one with a disappointing dad for your child - plenty of people you know are married to guys who fit that description. Try to own your situation - how you present it will likely influence how others respond to it. There's no need to be ashamed of your circumstances. I know single moms are often in unstable situations - that is a stereotype that bothers me as well - but you know it doesn't fit you.[/quote]
