[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. I'm sure the men who rejected me when I was dating because "they don't date single moms" would totally have bought the explanation that I'm not REALLY a single mom since I have 50/50 custody.[/quote]
Yes they would have! Which is exactly why you shouldn’t lead with the single mom card if you have split custody. Duh!!![/quote]

People don't lead with a single mom card. Duh! If they have kids and are single, they are a single mom. Details of the arrangement come later. [/quote]

“I’m single and I’m a mother” isn’t the same as “I’m a single mother.”

“Single mother” has a deeper meaning here in the US. It means that the mom is covering almost all of the financial and parenting burdens of raising a child.

I’m guessing your social network is pretty affluent and quite small, because in most of the US, these sre pretty much the same thing. There may be legal judgments that say differently, but if you  imagine what many homes look like where there isn’t two  (and you can even use DCUM, as privileged as people are here as a reference), maybe you can extrapolate to what it looks like when there are actually two.

Hint: there’s a lot of media regarding moms burning out, and little about dads. [/quote]
