[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the people saying single moms have it easy must have useless husbands. Or their own standards are so low that they would feed their kids hot dogs every night of their husband wasn’t around to notice.[/quote]

I’m the PP with the deployed spouse.  I didn’t say it was easy being a single mom.  I said it was easier in many ways though.  DH is absolutely an equal partner but it’s not needing to tend to another relationship that frees up a lot of time.  And we always eat good food but I’m far less picky than he is.  Lots of nights when he was deployed, the kids and I would have avocado and scrambled eggs or something premade from Trader Joe’s.

But yes, my cleaning standards are and we’re lax!  DH is the cleaner - not me.  [/quote]

Single moms date you know.  They too are cultivating relationships.[/quote]

I don't date. I don't have the money for a babysitter. Stop assuming things about groups of people. Most single parents do not have the money for outsourcing anything. In fact, my PT gigs are babysitting, pet sitting/dog walking, etc.[/quote]

You don’t define the experience of every single mom.  And yes, single moms do date, many get remarried, and single women have friendships and other platonic relationships they are working on as well, and some outsource and some don’t, and some married couples outsource and some don’t.  [/quote]
