[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many married moms have delusional romantic visions of what it's like to be a single mom. Misplaced envy.

For all you married moms who need a break - take one, don't be a martyr. Pay for a babysitter for one. But don't crap on single moms who likely face challenges you have no idea about. [/quote]
No,[b] I think married moms are making the point that being a divorced mom who has 3-4 days “off” per week is easier than being the primary everything every day.[/b] Certainly not having a partner or compartment is infinitely harder. No married mother thinks an actual single mother (not a half-time mom) is an easy life. [/quote]

Except that there are a million reasons it's not?

Your kids have to deal with living in two households with two sets of rules. There could be step-siblings or step-parents involved. Parenting with your ex could be very difficult. Not having your children with you on special days could be heartbreaking. Having your kids alone every time you have them isn't easy.

I'm a married mom but I have enough empathy and understanding to not say something as stupid as what you did. Come on.[/quote]
