I'm a single mum by choice. I've come to the conclusion that all family types have their pros and cons, including single mothers.

Are you researching for yourself?

Tell your friend to have a look at the Donor Conception Network website which has many single women members and lots of information.

The only cons I’ve found as a single mother is less money and only one pair of hands, it can be hard being the only adult and a bit lonely but I have gained many more pros. There are pros and cons in all family types it’s how you deal with it that matters.

Have only just seen I never replied to my question on this post sorry 🙈
It was research to give me an idea of what I might expect, I have lots of single Mum friends but they all seem to have new partners all the time so not really single mums if that makes sense haha, so I was looking at a broader audience to ask :)
