    It is true that most married (or cohabiting) parents will not understand a single parents plight, they especially do not understand an "only" parent's situation (I use the term "only" parent for those single parents who have no co-parent in play).


    BUT, remember it is all relative. I am use to having help from my parents. If that were to go away or lessen I would feel the stress. I may even vent about it. I know there are others who have it worse than I do, but I am entitled to feel stressed out and vent about it.

    That being said... it is not cool for any poster to jump all over someone for little to no reason. I find arguing or teasing about baby names to be in poor taste. (with some very rare exceptions)

    ETA: My biggest pet peeve is when a married/co-habiting parent says they know what it is like to be a single parent because their H travels. (with the exception of Military, which is it's own beast!) You have financial and emotional support all the time (if you don't that is marriage issue) and physical parenting help a lot more than a single parent. Tell me that after a weekend alone you appreciate my difficulties... ok. Tell me you understand?? No, no you don't.
    I hear this from some of my married friends.

    "X is going to be gone for a boys night tonight looks like ill be singld parenting it." No princess your not single parenting it. Your so comes home my bd talks to me when he wants to see me naked. So i ear from him rarel

    That drives me nuts too. Yes, "single parent" it for the night. Cute. Try for like a week. Or a month. Or, you know, until your child is 18. I'm still waiting to hear from BD about dropping off DD's Christmas gifts. He sort of disappeared. Thank god.

    I should ask my bf to send bd a pic, and say "she upgraded to a larger size."

    Well so I'm just not gonna post at all on the other TB boards. I shouldn't be so sensitive when an Internet stranger is mean to me, but these days I cry at dog food commercials.

    My ex-husband who lives in the basement of our house has been surprisingly awesome about taking me to appointments and helping me out. I'm disabled so some days this means he has to get me food and water and do all the house chores. He has aspergers so sometimes he says super blunt and mean things, but only accidentally. I'm well aware that if not for him I'd be feeling the full weight of being single.

    My sister has aspergers also. Were really close because of it. She was terribley bullied because she was different from it and had a large scar on her face from having alarge mole removed. I may or may not have gotten into a few fights with her bullies.

    Im glad that hes around to help you. Also the dog food commercial where the owner comes home from deployment always made me choke up while pregnant

    @lamuelen omg that's exactly the one I was talking about! Lol!

    I'm a sociologist and I research the sociology of autism. A lot of my friends and family members are on the spectrum. I've found that I'm so used to talking to autistic people that its actually harder for me to talk to a lot of non-autistic people, even though I myself am non-autistic.

    I think thats interesting in a good way. Im really close with my sister. Bf and her were a year apart in high school and he always made sure she sat with him and his friends at lunch so she didnt get bullied.

    Xh had a huge problen with my sister because of her quirks. He was a pretty huge dick to her. She was my maid of honnor at our wedding his dad, best man, and him started making fun of her during the reception. I locked myself in a bathroom stall crying about what a dick he was being to my sister.
