Even without being super wealthy, a by choice single mom can build a really good life for herself and her kid(s). And yes, there’s a lot less drama than many married moms I’ve known.
The bald fact of the matter is a lot of fathers undermine their wives as mothers. They don’t pull their weight. They teach their kids to disrespect their mothers. They’re flippant about her efforts to teach the kids to pitch in and learn to be self sufficient. They’re all about play and never about responsibility. They always take the easy way, and expect mom to clean up the mess.
Then they berate her for not doing enough or being too tired to service him sexually.
