I was a single Mom (as a result of my choices! Duh…..) for several years.

It always annoyed me that some folks saw me as a special project and wanted me to join singles group at church, etc. because I was, apparently, “really needy” just because I was divorced with two teenaged sons. Yuk.

One day another single person was whining to me about all the special problems “we had”, like needing help with vacuum cleaner repair and car repair. I finally had had it, and said, “For cryin’ out loud, don’t you think there any married women who have trouble getting vacuum cleaners to run right and may have trouble getting cars repaired, either because of tight money or men who don’t notice the car is sick!!?”

Come on, Stephanie. Grow up already.

These are life issues, not marriage status issues.
