Every parenting situation is different, though, and it's not relegated to just single parents.
This is a good convo.
I'm still confused on how to answer, though, lol!

Please come give a good-work-ethic speech to the people I hire.
I agree that every parenting situation is different, I'm just assuming that it's tougher for single parents because you don't have a partner to fall back on to take care of your child if they are sick, off school, etc. Of course, both my parents worked and when I was in school and got sick, the nurse called my grandparents, my dad, then my mom. 9 times out of 10 my grandparents were the ones who came to pick me up since both of my parents not only worked, but worked 45 minutes to an hour away.
