Yeah I would class myself as a single parent even though we split time with my son 50/50. I am single and I don’t have a partner to support me. Yes there are evenings when my son isn’t with me and I can have a bit more of a social life but when I do have him it is just me and him. I feel like you can co parent and be a single parent- they can co-exist. I, however, actually plan and do things with my child and enjoy the time together!
I would agree with this too. I talk to many other single parents (as I am also one) - and many who have no co parent input describe themselves as lone parents. They get ultimate respect, as parenting is hard any way you do it, but alone - seriously hats off.
I have a "co parent" by definition that they parent their child - but they do not cooperate with me, continue their abusive behaviour at any opportunity, do not listen to my views or care about my feelings, do not provide any financial input (in fact takes money from me) and I run my home and pay my bills alone, therefore I do not class myself as a co parent. I parent, singly and in parallel to them. Co parenting indicates some level of collaboration but quite often that is impossible and this idea puts a lot of pressure on those who have to parent alongside abusive people.
This isn't really a comment on Hannah, as I do agree her calling herself a single parent is rich beyond belief. As others have said, she's been out and about by herself this week more times than I have in the last 6 months!
If she and her ex do a split week she must have used other support on top of a co parent while she flounced to the spa and everywhere else 🫠
