AIBU to be in awe of single parents

[Warsawa31]

Hi,
I’ve spent a week looking after my 9 month old daughter as my wife away with work.
We usually split baby care 70/30 with my wife doing most of it.

I am knackered lol , she is what you would deem an easy baby and there is only one of her.

I’ve spent the week thinking about single parents and how hard it must be to do this alone day in day out.

Just a massive doth of my cap to any single parents out there.

I didn't apologise, I said sorry if you were offended. But it appears you're not..... so that's cool.

So many bitter people about. Grief.

@Warsawa31 Octomum? 14 children total, locked them in rooms and American social services were involved, spent her benefits on beauty treatments, caught on tape saying ‘I hate babies, they disgust me... Obviously, I love them—but I absolutely wish I had not had them.’ And did pornographers try be famous again.
That one?

Wow there really are some negative comments on here.

I am a single parent to 2 DC (10 and 13) and have been on my own with them since DC 2 was born.

I don't think the op was saying that he understood exactly what it's like to be a lone parent in every sense of the word. No one could unless they are living that life and experiencing the hardships that go with it.

He was actually trying to say something positive. A little bit of kindness and recognition for how 1 particular aspect of being a single parent is more than most people give. So thanks OP!

There are some right grumpy fuckers on here.

I'll accept some doffing thank you OP
