[quote=Anonymous]I was a single mom for 10 years before I remarried. I lived in DC with my son (5 yrs old when we moved) in a small apt for 5 years before meeting my second DH. We cooked at home, walked everywhere, learned to love the metro, used a cart for groceries and made it fun. I dont buy the single mom excuse card at all. Kids mimick you when you eat or cook so why is it that now being single or living on a smaller wage is an excuse to teach them things that will inevitably harm their health? I know we all do the best we can do but we also need to prioritize better. I have a hard time believing that a single mom who excuses herself from modeling good nutrition for her kids would change her ways once she was no longer single or living with a larger salary. I know dual income families that feed their kids crap and they dont have a problem with resources - so to me, this is not a marital status or income issue. This is a complacency issue. [/quote]
