[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is beyond stupid and extraordinarily selfish. Widowed and divorced women are not single moms because they still have an ex or family. Also, do not think that children of single women do not suffer socially.[/quote] So, now we are defining single mom to not include widows? Are single moms with families included?[/quote] Yeah, the widow “exception” is ludicrous— how does that make a difference to how hard it is? I know an affluent SMBC who adopted/rescued two elementary-aged daughters from overseas poverty, and all of their lives are infinitely better for it. She is part of a huge close-knit clannish local family so she has “a village.” But I don’t think she dates anyone. So I think having a village, having daughters, not raising infants, and not dating are big enablers. If those parameters don’t work for you, or if money is scarce, then it might not be such a great idea.[/quote]
