I dont think any mother (or father for that matter) sets out to become a single parent. Its not exactly in their life plan, but it happens, you deal with it and make the best job you can.

Anyone that can slate single parents should try it for a month. Maybe then they'll realise that any extra money you MAY get in benefits, you'd gladly trade to be in a happy family environment, or even for an undisturbed bath

What Id give for an undisturbed bath!! Or just an hour to myself to relax!
