[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It strikes me as super odd that the group being "related to" (single parents) keeps saying "you don't understand" and "your experience isn't like mine" and yet the majority group (partnered parents) keeps insisting they do.  I think it's a good rule that ANY time a minority group tells you you aren't accurately understanding their experience, you back off and listen rather than insisting that you DO understand (and they are just wrong about your experience not relating to theirs).  That can apply to disability or parenting or anything, really.[/quote]

But nobody has the exact same experience. What if you're married to an invalid or a douchebag?  What if you're a widow with an awesome live-in nanny? What if you're rich? What if you're poor? What if you only have one kid vs four?

The widow with military benefits just might have an easier time than a divorcee with a deadbeat ex...at least the widow has financial stability.

This thread is gross. This isn't a competition. You do you. [/quote]
