[quote=Anonymous]As a single parent, I sometimes secretly hope that people who judge single parents harshly will someday see what it's like. Because in my mind, being a nasty person is the kind of thing that could eventually cause a marriage to dissolve, with animosity. There's a continuum of single parenting. On the one end you have people with 0% support from a coparent. On the other end you have the 50/50 arrangements where mom does have plenty of free time and support. Most of us are in the middle. I do feel that it's harder, though, because it's a financial stretch to support a household on one's own, and you don't get the efficiencies of scale from having two adults running a single household. And it can be lonely, not having a partner to turn to for decisions and companionship.[/quote]
