Again, you go round and round by saying that the term "single mother" is an example of political correctness.


Let's try it again:

The question is whether a woman is ~less~ of a single parent depending on how she got there?

And if placing the child in day care while she works to support that child an indication that she is a bad parent?

I would answer yes, she is a bad parent if it was her choice to be a single parent. The situation is then of her own making and her child or children suffer.

But as someone else pointed out I think most of the time we are talking about dual income families who chose to put young children into child care, better to look after your own children at home and have less of an income.

I never made any judgmental statement and there is no going round and round on my part. I made a simple statement that single mom is politically correct speech. It is either widowed, divorced, or unwed mother. You apparently are offended by one as you seem to read more into my statement than was intended.
