[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a world of difference with moms, single or not, between those that have support systems and those that don't. A single mom with lots of family around may have an easier time than a married mom who only has her husband to help, especially if he travels 5 days. I agree that it's just a label, meaning you are not partnered. [/quote]

Exactly, I am a single mom.  I also have one super easy kid who is long out of diapers and no loner needs a babysitter after school.  Plus my mom is close, retired, and loves to have him over.  My life is not particularly hard.  I have a friend who is married to a great guy. They have two of the most medically complex kids I’ve met and are constantly in the hospital.  Plus she’s caregiver for her elderly mom, and they have custody of a very young nephew whose parents are both in jail.

Her life is way harder than mine, but I am the one you would describe as “single” because single doesn’t mean “hard”, it means “not married/partnered.”[/quote]
