Just reading so much about being a single Mum in posts. Working, having to fit in around DC, or unable to work due to childcare, why has this become so normalised?
Of course, relationships don't work work out but being a Dad should be accountable and responsible?
I just can't get my head around it all!
So, a woman who has 3 DC from 3 different Dads should be able to have them involved, in the least case financially through CSA?
While many well indeed be this circumstance of not knowing/naming Father, absolutely everyone I know as a single Mum does have financial contributions and have partners at home but don't declare it.
So it does make me feel sad when I read about being a single Mum but unfortunately I'm not inclined to believe it.
Being a true single parent is of course so difficult, but dig into the background a bit more and it's not always the case.
My DB pays cash in hand, as requested by ex, to allow him to see his child, so she can state she's a single Mum. He looks after DC half the week and pays for school uniform, everything really. She is volatile and will immediately stop contact if not on her terms which would take a long time in expensive solicitors' fees etc.
There is a whole different side to those who say they are single Mums.
