Divorce, as it turns out, can bring freedom not only from a broken relationship but from the day-to-day grind that is the performance of motherdom. There is no need to be seen as constantly cooking, bathing, doing laundry, and cleaning up when no one is watching.
There’s also less need to spend a bunch of time nagging—not the kids, but their dad.

Single mothers, on the other hand, have no need or even opportunity to “perform gender” by demonstrating obeisance to centuries-old conceit that good mothers prioritize everyone else but themselves. There’s not much point in putting on a play if there’s no audience.

Single mothers are far more likely to be poor, underemployed, and nonwhite. Many left relationships with men who no longer contribute financially to the children.
But even these women spent less time on household chores and more time sleeping and playing than their married counterparts. This is explained in part by the fact that many single mothers live with a parent, relative, or other adult.

Eww....I constantly clean (probably averages to an hour each day and I don't let messes sit), bath every day, cook several times a week and do laundry when I have loads. And I live alone so that means no audience. If I were having company during a weeknight I could make my bed, stow away any laundry hanging to dry and straighten up a bit in less than 30 minutes. Seriously, no cleaning or bathing unless someone else is there is just a slob. And I guess that despite it being TMIJITW brats don't count as a audience.
I care about the condition of my home, my body, etc. Couldn't care less what anyone else thinks. I guess personal standards go by the wayside for this author.

They forgot to mention one thing that single mothers do very well. They flood every single dating site and indicate in their profiles, directly or otherwise, that men with kids “need not apply” They are also very vigilant about calling out any man out there who tries to demand the same. They go bananas if a CF man states that single moms are not of his interest. You see, single mums are busy, just not with housework.
I never could really comprehend why moos don’t want to date duhs. Aren’t mixed families the way of the future?

Nope, single Moos go after childfree men because they know these guys are likely to have good careers, tons of money, and no baby momma drama or pesky brats of his own (not to mention usually better looking because they don't have kids stressing them out and aging them another 15 years). They figure he can give all his money, time, effort, and affection to Moo and her brat and she can oops him for good measure. They completely disregard single fathers all because they don't want to deal with his fucktrophies from another woman.
This is why they stay single mothers: they aren't willing to compromise. Single duhs go after CF women for the same reason, but I do think between single mothers and single fathers, single dads are more open to compromise while single Moos think they're such hot shit that they get to be picky about who they date. They might find a guy who adores her kids and is willing to work so she can be a SAHM, but she'll reject him because he's got a kid of his own or he doesn't make enough money.
I might get it if the average single Moo actually had some kind of redeeming quality, but a good chunk of them are uglier than sin inside, outside, or both. Obviously there are exceptions and those are the PNBs, but most of them are breeders who consider themselves living embodiments of goddesses.
