This is just a stereotype that I hear quite often. Just want to see if anyone on Cafemom feels the same.  Please vote and bump

*  And for the record because of some random posts I saw.  This post is not about who does more and who does less.  We are all Mother's and we all do the best we can.  Everyone's situation is different.  Whether you are married, single or any other marital status we all do a terrific job and you all rock!

PS:  I changed the title of the thread as some people took offense to it.  The thread was previously titled "Are single mothers trash?".

  • No. I have a lot of respect for single mothers. It's hard.

  • I have never thought that of single moms. I have always thought of them as being strong. I especially feel that way for the past 5 months while DH went away for basic training. So i have a little bit of an idea of how it feels.

  • Why would they be less? If they are providing for their kids, no way! DH works most of the hours that the kids are awake, so I feel like a single mom in caring for the kids and the house, but I know it doesn't compare to always having to do everything by yourself (kids, work, bills, cleaning, etc).

  • Nope... 

    The mothers who I do think are trash are the ones that abuse their kids or those that will not remove their kids from harmful situations..

    They are trash to me, and they can be either single or married mothers.

  • dumb question.

    it has nothing to do with whether a woman is single or not. it has to do with whether she is trash when it comes to being a mother or not.

    21 and on my 2nd marriage. not ashamed. SAHW, i cook i clean i keep my man happy. soon to be SAHM as well. first baby is due AUG 20. first wedding anniversary SEPT 14.  support divorce when its needed. dont cheat, dont lie, dont disrespect. very opinionated but at the same time very open minded. married couples argue. its normal.  dont love obama. dont hate obama. support the war (mostly the men and women fighting it).  i live my life. your opinion/judgment/approval isnt needed.

  • Of course not! A good and a good father would be ideal but it doesn't always work out that way for numerous reasons. Single mothers can't all be grouped together and bashed. They all got there a different way. A single mother CAN be trashy but it isn't necessarily because she is single.
