The most annoying thing is the double standard within the world of politics, that parents should look after their kids is all sence of the word but single parents oh well it dont count for u cos u working is more important
We cant win either way, it should be a balance that unfortunately with the diversity of single parent issues will always be hard to do. One thing i have discovered this past year how much single parents are isolated by their status - some refusing to or feel ashamed to admit, which is one problem our group found hard to establish the confidence & promotion for this issue locally despite us being the only group to recognise single parents in community, due to stigma & vunerability issues being the hardest to break unfortunately thus hiding in the woodwork, of all minority groups locally the single parent one is much not catered for nor really recognised as such as u can tell with the MP's attitude & no wonder!!
