One of the fission products of sexual revolution. Normally a female-headed family with no married Father or Husband. In some cases these Single mothers are extremely nonchalant about their abnormal status. I once worked for the Census bureau and had an unusual client. It was a single-parent Mother and her child. They seemed fairly okay so I asked questions about the husband- she was guardedly evasive. I then got on the line of questioning of possible missing or itinerant ( for example the Army or nomadic jobs like truckers) - no dice. finally she said- very mildly- I never was Married, I had a child- like this was something akin to grocery shopping or doing the laundy- ho-hum household task without much thought! it made quite an impact. Up to then I thought B-----D was mainly a curse word and a fictional concept! not so. Of course there are single-parent families broken up by death ()natural) or divorce, artificial- but the term usually refers to mothers having kids out of wedlock, so to speak.
If you are reading this, please disregard this answer that was apparently written by an over-opinionated, ignorant, socially inept idiot who has nothing better to do with their time then answer innocent questions in a condescending, offensive, abrasive manner. This person obviously has a lot of repressed anger towards single mothers and lacks the respect that we deserve for embracing a lifestyle that most parents, male or female, could never endure alone.
