As I said, I am talking relative to any other mom. We all know women with a kid needs support. I don't like tom toming the single mother status.
Especially when her superior clearly had cut her so much slack in past.
> Single mother is a choice of an independent woman and if she cant afford it she should probably not make it.
With respect, this is a very naive and simplistic view of the situation which displays a lack of empathy. I doubt many women make the explicit choice to become single mothers. There are many reasons she could have ended up in this situation. Perhaps her husband died, or ran away when he discovered she was pregnant.
You might as well say that being in a car crash is the choice of an independent driver, and if they didn't want to experience pain they should not have chosen to be in a car crash.
