[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So am I a single mother because my spouse travels 50% of the time for a large chunk of the year? No. If people ask I say my spouse is traveling for work. This person can easily say “it’s my week for custody.” [/quote] No. Married people aren’t single. Easy![/quote] “Single mother” doesn’t mean mother who is not committed to a romantic partner (i.e. it’s not a reference to your romantic relationship status) “Single mother (parent)” means you are the only parent bringing up your children. If there is another parent involved you might be single, and you might be a mother, but you are NOT a single mother. This is obvious. Do you call your widowed grandmothers single mothers? It makes as much sense as calling a woman who shares custody with her ex a single mother.[/quote]
