What do you all think? I haven't noticed that at all where I live. My son who is 9 goes to a very upmarket village and there are only a handful of single parent families in each class of over 30 children out of two classes in year 4. I have yet to know any single parent families where I live although my neighbourhood is very insular and does not mix. In addition I go to a spiritual group and there are only 2 single parents i.e. myself and another lady out of over 100 people.
Is it just where I live or is this usual? I am in Derbyshire.
Can there really be as many as the news would have us believe it strikes me there are very few where I live. When I was living in London there were way more.
I am not saying that is good or it is something that society should aspire to but to find more around would at least help resolve the social isolation that single parents such as myself have to endure through no fault of our own....!

Is it really the case that 1 in 3 families are a single parent family?
