My husband's exwife has been known to tell people how she's a proud single mom that works her butt off to support her kids, (she's even had the audacity to say that to me once). I always feel like she is being disrespectful to real single moms that work their asses off. My husband pays her child support, pays for their medical and dental and has custody of them 50% of the time so she can relax and get facials or whatever. My husband bought her a nice $20,000 car so she'd have something safe for the kids to ride in, and when she blew the transmission from never putting oil in it, her 60 year old boyfriend bought her a brand new $40,000 car. When she actually does work, her mom watches the kids for her for free, and she doesn't pay her taxes on it (we've seen her bank and tax records). Her live in 60 year old boyfriend pays all the bills and has been with her over 5 years. I find it offensive that she tells people around town, and the kids teachers, that she is a struggling single mom and "proud of it". I think it's rude to real single moms that don't get any support, I think it makes my husband look neglectful, and I think it's rude to "step-dad-grandpa-whatever" who pays all the bills and bought her new car. Do you think that any divorced woman is a "single mom" even if her ex does more than his fair share financially and physically with the children?
