Top 5 Things Not To Say To A Single Mother
This weekend, Katie Roiphe wrote a piece in the New York Times entitled, “In Defense of Single Motherhood.” Since I just gave my own feelings on being a single mommy earlier this week, I thought I would take this opportunity to give everyone a short lesson in appropriate conversation starters with single moms.
Like with any other parent on the planet, making wide, sweeping assumptions about a single mom based on a media narrative or a couple of research studies is sure to be more than a little offensive. Moms, whether they’re married or not, are individuals. We’re all different. And yet, these tired prejudices always find a way to worm back into the conversation when it comes to single moms.
