I'm fed up of being treated differently as a single parent. Questions about work - yes I work, I shouldn't have to explain my life away. Questions and pressure to 'get on' with my abusive ex, I get on with him as much as needs be for the sake of the children. Questions about why we split, how much he visits the children etc.
Also patronising, like I'm a fool and failure. After I got made redundant I was given a lot of pep talks about the need to get a job asap - I know that I'm doing my best and found something rather than need to claim JSA (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Maybe I'm just grumpy.
