Lucky for us single moms, we live in a time when single-motherhood is becoming the new norm!  Don’t believe me?  Check out these stats:  

– There are 82.5 million mothers in America.

– The number of divorced mothers is more than twice as large as it was in the 1960s, at 15% compared to 7% then.

– An average of 69% of mothers in the US are married now compared to 92% over five decades ago. ​

– 40% of American women with children under the age of 18 in the US are the primary breadwinners for their families.  In 1960, the average was just      11%.

– More than 15% of American mothers have never been married, compared to less than 1%  in the 1960s.​

– Single mothers make up 83% of the single parent families in the US.     ​

See!!  It’s nice to know that us single moms aren’t alone in the struggle; We’re the new norm!   (I’m also grateful that I’m not a single mom in 1960)!
