Is an insult to what I have to do as a single parent?
Bumped into an acquaintance of DS's dad today who recognised my DS. General polite chit chat etc but she then told me how lucky I am to get a break every other weekend. Aibu in thinking this is a stupid thing to say when I do everything alone for the rest of the time? I do enjoy getting that break but to be honest it's usually spent getting boring chores done that are difficult to do when DS is around. I'd have much rather exP hadn't fucked off when I was pregnant and was here full time to share the parenting equally. But I suspect if I had said 'OMG you're so lucky you have a man that didn't bail on you and leave you to look after a newborn all alone!' Things may have got awkward.
