Best Answer

Single parenting means the situation where one person is raising a child alone. For example, a mother who had a child out of wedlock would be a single parent and would be engaged in single parenting. Similarly, a father who got custody of the child due to the inability of the mother to manage, would be a single parent.

This question is asked in the adoption category. I am guessing the asker wants to adopt a child and has run into the term "single parenting" in the literature about the adoption process? It would be helpful if more detail had been provided as to why this answer is needed.

a woman who is taking care of her children/family all by herself without a spouse around.

this does not mean that the husband has completelyabandoned them because many times the husband will send money but will not actually be physically there.

thus, a single mother is someone who is raising a family on her own without the help of a spouse.
