Er indoors was livid, she also would love to spend more time with our kids, but she has to work, so perhaps they should too.
We know of one single mother to be ho is purposely arranging things so that she becomes one of the dependants we all pay for.

Unfortunately the latter part of your post is what gets most single mothers tarred with the same brush. The majority of single mothers have been left in the lurch by some selfish lust driven excuse of a father, and just to balance it up a bit it also happens the other way round, I think the latest figures show that 11% of single parents are actually single dad's.
Most single parents would rather provide a better quality of life for their kids, unfortunatley what the government seem to forget in these instances are that the childcare and suitable jobs ( ie those that have some flexibilty ) are not as widely available as the spin machines make out.
By the way I don't think the single mother on the news did herself any favours and it was interesting to see that although she passes herself off as a campaigner she certainly wasn't representing any official body, a loose cannon springs to mind. Even worse her kids were 16 & 14 !!
