[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care too much and get that it’s the terminology, but did find it tacky when my ex-SIL kept posting / saying things about how hard it was to be a single mom when my brother was fighting her for more custody. [/quote]

People can find parenting hard, and also want to see their kids.

This thread was started by someone who wanted to complain about how her life is so hard, and how awful it is to have to parent her kids.  But, presumably, if she actually she could walk away from them and let her DH have them.  Which she hasn't done, which makes me suspect that she is finding parenting hard, and also wants to have them and care for them.

Your ex-SIL probably feels the same way.  Parenting is really hard.  We see people, mostly married women, complaining about it nonstop on this board.  If we aren't going to judge married people who complain about how hard it is and yet still want to keep their kids, then why should we judge single people who complain and also still want to keep their kids.
