It seems the winter is bringing a spate of unhappiness to the lone parents thread, so I thought we could do with a new 'great things about being a single parent' thread to brighten our days and make us count our blessings.
Ok, I'll kick off...
It's freezing cold outside and I can put the heating up as high as I want without anyone moaning about it, as I am the one paying the bills.
I can shout at Gillian McKeith on I'm a Celebrity without having constant comments in the background.
I don't have to watch the football tonight.
I can wear socks to bed and not have to explain that it's just cos I'm cold and not because I am trying to put him off me sexually. Similarly thermal vests.
I can wear big knickers that cover the end of my back and keep me warm. Thongs do not provide warmth to the lumbar region.
