[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Widowed, unmarried and divorced moms are single moms. [/quote] I would agree with this with the exception of unmarried women in long term partnerships. [b] If you are living with the kids’ dad, I don’t think that qualifies.[/b] [/quote] No. It still does. Let me explain why. You are thinking that by living with the kid's dad, she is being supported and so she is not single. Well, by that logic, what about the military wife whose husband is deployed. Is she single then? The wife of the road warrior who is away from Sunday night to Friday night. Is she a single mom then? No. This is a relationship status. If your DH is away because he is deployed, travelling, incarcerated etc - you are a mom without support - but you are not a single mom. Similarly, if an unmarried mom is living in with her BF or her parents and has all the support, she is supported but she is still single. [/quote]
