[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I always thought of it as mothers who have total financial and logistical responsibility for the kids (no shared custody etc). [/quote] Same. When I think of it, father may be in the picture some, but isn't contributing much or actually parenting.[/quote] Same. My friend is divorced and her ex is local and sees the child once a week for an hour or so, but not on his own. Possibly he contributes a bit of money but basically he does absolutely nothing of substance. Doesn't even know how to change a diaper or what the kid eats or likes. She takes every sick day, doctor's appointment, makes all decisions, etc. To me, that is single parenting. (And I always feel a combination of awe and pity because DH and I split everything just about 50-50 and it's still completely exhausting. Can't imagine doing it all myself on top of holding down a job.)[/quote]
