Update: One of my single mom friends pointed out that I seem SO congratulatory here. In no way am I advocating teen pregnancy. I’m all for sex-ed and birth control. I think that waiting until you have a baby — until you’re in a solid relationship, with a solid career, and of course, a solid [...]
This week, Kirstin — a single mom who works in corporate sales — writes at Single Mom at Work about the fact that she wears a wedding ring to business meetings, even though she is not married:
