Does anyone think that Mumsnet should have two separate categories for this ?
Before anyone starts, I have no issue at all with single parents (ie those who are separated but still have involvement from the other parent). But I do feel that that situation is different from those parents who are raising children entirely single handed (not better or worse, just different). I'm not interested in only hearing from people in my exact situation.
I just know I have experiences and issues that sometimes I would like to discuss with other lone parents (although I'm always happy to hear other people's perspectives). When scrolling through the threads though, I often find ones that look like something that might be relevant to me, but aren't really when you actually read them. And I'm sure it works the other way too - for example, arguments over difficult co-parents aren't really anything I have experience of.
I think it would just be easier for people to find what they were actually looking for in separate categories.
