More than poverty holds back single parent families.
Prejudice against single parents is rife still in this country.
Assuming people choose to be single parents as a lifestyle choice is so wrong. The majority of single parents I know including myself are in our situation because of marital breakdown, death of a partner or being left by a spouse/partner through no fault of our own. I don’t think many people would especially “choose” to become a single parent as it’s extremely tough job and working in a job as well as being on your own with children is like working two jobs. It’s just exhausting and certainly isn’t an easy option
There is such stigma around being a single parent. I should feel proud to be on my own and raising my child in a happy and safe environment whilst being a good role model. However I cant help but feel a big label being put on us and Boris’ comments are beyond unhelpful. I look forward to hearing of a single parent calling him out on this.
Funny man.He really does say some incriminating things doesn’t he?
How many kids does He have right now living in single parent homes? Quite a few on last count.
Glasshouses,stones anyone?
