Devotion, a book giveaway

If you’ve been here before, you know that we love to give books away — And mostly we give away books about single parenting. Here’s the shocker: we’re taking a detour this week. That’s because this new memoir –  by a married mother — was written by one of Rachel’s favorite authors.

Do I have a Daddy?

A solo mom’s email landed in our Inbox this week, and here’s what struck us: her story is similar to ours. Her ex split town after she became a mom, and she has had no contact with him.

Who would take care of your kids in a dire emergency?

So, this all started when Dr. Leah asked me: “Don’t you think that some parents overdo it with [...]

We’re above those tactics

We realize that a certain blogger wants to bring traffic to his site — don’t we all?

At Singlemommyhood, we LOVE controversy, too. But we’re all about focusing on the [...]

Ann Coulter, listen up. We are not to blame for society’s problems

Ann Coulter, what is your problem?
We thought you were done picking on single moms. Apparently not.
On “The Today Show” this morning, you said:
“Look at any societal problem, and it is a problem of single motherhood.”
When Matt Lauer implied that your comment was outrageous, you said: “It’s not outrageous. It’s a fact!”
“Do you think that EVERY [...]
