Do you mean a working single mom or a working taken mom because those are two very different things

being a single mom would suck more. both are hell. having a partner to help sounds nice but often that husband will also work & be useless at home, as moms remain the “default” parent who manages calendars, housekeeping, and childrearing largely alone. working dads “help,” but the responsibility of homekeeping is often the woman’s to delegate. all working women are also often discriminated against in the workforce & put into shitty maternal leave positions irregardless of marital status

I wouldn’t say all working moms that have a dad that also works or even stays home and takes care of the kids. There is a good chunk but there are also men out there that actually care about their partner and children and help out around the house after work. Being a single mom though is tough through and through

“help around the house” the language you’re using is indicative of the attitude i’m talking about. the husband “helps after work”, the mom is still on the clock because she’s mom. i shouldn’t need to go into every case & say oh yeah this woman has help so she’s more happy. no shit. i don’t need to go through every what if.

First off I responded to both aspects because being a single mom and not being one are two very different things and you’re being a dick over nothing. There are two cases not a million where the dad is actually a dad like the mom isn’t the only one on the clock all the time. Then there are ones where the dad isn’t on the clock all the time.
