[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread feels like a SNL skit. I’m a single mother and do all of that by myself. And I also find time to just unwind with a glass of wine and a movie. [/quote]

It’s easier being a single mother, PP.  Honestly.  Your idea of cleaning standards and nutritional standards are your own.  You have no other equal adult to compromise with.  I could eat and serve scrambled eggs for dinner but DH needs a full balanced, vegetarian meal.  I could live with crumbs on the floor but DH has to vacuum daily.  There are a million things that I would let slide without DH.  [/quote]

+1. This really is true.  Without the commitment of marriage and another relationship to tend to, I would have a lot more time!  [/quote]

+2. Thank you!  I am so sick of the [b]single mother whine[/b].  Being married and in a healthy relationship takes work, planning, and commitment.  I could eat cold cereal for dinner and be happy with the quiet after the kids are in bed.  [/quote]

Jerk post. Imagine having zero breaks from childcare and being able to outsource nothing. [/quote]

Thank you! I’m a single mother of a 14 mo old and it’s tough. It would be a dream to have someone prep my kids weekday meals and snacks! To have someone take the kid out for a bit do I could cook. I haven’t really gotten the hang of cooking something I loved doing pre kid (I use to watch TV while cooking). Sometimes there is a window at 9pm but then I’m tired and still have to prep everything for my kid for the next day.  I am fortunate to outsource some cleaning - a person comes every 2 weeks for a couple hours.  Everyone has their own challenges but in NO way is it easier as a single mother. [/quote]
