I’m a single mom and there are 3 really rude things people say to me
A single mom has taken to TikTok to bemoan the “annoying” things that people always say to her.
Bee, who gave birth to daughter August in March, has created a video series of all the rude things that she faces on a daily basis – and she’s up to three so far.
“We didn’t invite you as thought you’d be uncomfortable being the only one with a baby,” is the first that Bee frequently hears.
“This annoys me so much,” one person wrote in the comments.
While another added: “Hate people like this.”
“Had only a few friends before babies.. now my friends are other moms (they’re much better friends!),” a third wrote.
Bee’s second “annoying thing” is when other moms tell her that they are “basically a single mom when my husband goes to work”.
Once again, Bee’s video sparked a slew of comments, with one writing: “Solo and single are 2 different things people!”
“It’s lone parenting… my husband was military so I parented alone but I wasn’t single,” another added.
“I had his wage and his emotional support… VERY DIFFERENT!!”
“Being a mom, with it being single parent, or married is hard regardless,” a third weighed in.
“I’ve done both.”
And the third rude thing Bee is regularly told is that she doesn’t “look like a single mom”.
“What are we supposed to look like? Is there a specific look?” she wondered in her video.
