[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think what's annoying about this is that being a real single mom implies that you are responsible for the kids ALL THE TIME including financially.[/b]  Some divorced moms are single moms in that they are the only parent who is actually parenting, while the other parent only sees the kid a few weekends a year.  That is hard, because you never get a break.  But then there are other parents who are divorced parents who are coparenting.  When you get 3-4 days a way from your kids a week, you have it easier and extended vacations then you have it easy.  You might miss your kids, and divorce is hard in the children and everyone involved, but the actual work load is so much less than typical single parents.  [/quote]

Being a single mother means that you're single and you're a mother. Just as being a single father means that you're single and you're a father.

But if you want to spend time thinking about who is "real" single parent and who is a "fake" single parent -- well, it's a free country.[/quote]
