I am also a single mom and often i think I offer my children better family values than many non single mother family units. I see too many unhappy kids that tell me all their troubles about their family life.

This site is excellent. I have been seeking this type of information to share with other single mothers.

I can definitely see how blogging about her ignorant self has built a comradeship amongst single mothers.

I am very glad to be a part of these conversations.

I recognize that the attention they (the Ann Coulters of the world) receive is well placed and purchased. It’s all about the bottom line, money, and unfortunately the negative fall out is last on the list of priorities.

When we share our lives and experiences through our blogs we compel the world to take a second look and stop judging.

I agree Ms. Bar B. Our voices must be heard above the din of foolishness. We’ve been misrepresented for too long and blamed for way too much. So in choosing to blog about this woman’s accusations is our right because our voice is just as important as the next person’s. Hopefully the world will sit up and take notice someday of the positive contributions single moms have made in our world.

Lisa I was like you and said I would not fuel this controversy and let this woman sell even more books. But my opinionates self rose up and felt I had to have my say. I recognize that she has an agenda and chooses to take the low road to gain a few dollars. She won’t be any happier because of it. But I just want the single moms who read this blog to know that people like AC are powerless as long as we recognize our power and vital contribution to this society.

Blogs like ours will continue to empower and encourage single moms to overlook that kind of ignorance because we know the truth about our lives. This gives us strength to raise happy, well-adjusted children and future responsible, up standing citizens for this earth.

Thanks for this post! Conversations like these, between intelligent, articulate single mommas, are what will change the world’s perception of single motherhood. It is unfortunate that people like Ann Coulter are given such an audience and so much attention, when what she is spewing is so hateful and negative. Ignorance, combined with anger, is not a pretty picture. Your blog, and others like it, allow women with powerful life experiences, wisdom, and pride in our choices to share what we know and combat those negative stereotypes.
