[quote=Anonymous]Single mom here- I dislike comments like this too. I wouldn’t go as far to say they hurt my feelings but I find them off putting. I am not a single parent by choice (husband left me when #2 was a toddler) and there are many days where I feel like I don’t know how I am going to do it either. It’s not the same as saying it to someone who runs marathons because that it an activity that they enjoy and are doing voluntarily. I would never choose this lifestyle- it’s flipping hard. My biggest pet peeve is when friends will say “I’m a single parent this week!” When their spouses are away. You still have the financial, emotional and practical support of your parntner. You have an end date when you know your souse will be back. I don’t get mad at my friends but it bug me., OP- single parenting is hard and you sound like you have a great attitude. Your kids are lucky to have you! [/quote]
