[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single mom here again responding to the really dense married mom.

See, the thing is, I have been married before, so I have somewheat of an idea of what it takes to share responsibilities.  You, apparently, have never been a single mom or you wouldn't be arguing with me over what seems obvious to everyone else. And you don't have to be a genious to figure out that even if your husband goes to the grocery store for the week, or does a single load of dishes or laundry, or plays with the kids while you make dinner, or gives a bath just once a week, it is more help than i ever get.  Leaving all the emotion out of it, logic points out to two people can do more than one person same amount of time (or should be that way). But, apparently, I'm the self absorbed one  :roll:[/quote]

Amen!  No one who has a "parenting partner" is busier than a single mom!  [/quote]

This is an absurd comment.   I know several married couples that are busier than some single moms I know.  Impossible you say?  No, these married couples of which I speak have much longer "to-do lists" than the some of the single moms, and, contrary to your misconceptions, these "to-do" lists are not filled with things like "have coffee with friend," "read newspaper," etc.[/quote]

Hmm elaborate.  I'm the former single mom, who did it without any sort of parenting partner, and to do it well, I don't see how someone who shares responsibility with a spouse has more work to do.  Are you saying their jobs are demanding?  Adding a few extra kids to the equation?  I'm confused.  When I was a single mom, my to-do list never included read newspaper.[/quote]

Look, it's not that hard.  Obviously, ALL else being equal, a single parent is "busier" than a non-single parent.  But all else is almost never equal.  So, don't make comments like "No one who has a 'parenting partner' is busier than a single [parent]!"[/quote]
