Does anyone else get this? Not a rant, just something that amuses me every so often.
People seem amazed when they find out I'm a single parent. Other parents + collegues often comment on it when I mention it. Do they think I'm hiding a husband on my FB profile .
Yes Society, single mums hold down respectable office jobs, turn up on time, go to the gym, take our kids to the library and they do well at school.
Despite what some areas of the Media would like everyone to believe the last time I looked all the single parents I know weren't rolling around in the gutter, drinking vodka and neglecting their children.
Use our Single Parent forum to speak to other parents raising a child alone.
Lone parents
"You're a single mum?!!"...... what did you expect, Vicky Pollard? <<rolls eyes>>
