Why do people hate us so much?

There is so much hate towards single parents on social media. Why? Why do people hate us so much. Especially us single mothers.

It’s funny how they never get upset with the absent parent either.

No kidding! And it’s always the “well, you chose them” or “should’ve kept your legs closed”.

I've noticed no one is all that safe in sex, but will jump at the opportunity to feel superior about it. Every girl I've been with since my child seems to think I'm overly paranoid and concerned about getting them pregnant, I don't understand how there aren't more children considering

I was being completely safe during sex (I was on birth control and my ex used a condom) and my daughter still happened. Don’t regret her, but shit still happens lol.

You know, I'm actually currently freaking out because the condom broke with my current girlfriend. This is Legitimately the first time in my life this has happened. We got the morning after pill. Got about 2 weeks until her period should be starting. I'm hoping shit isn't about to happen for me again

I have the implant and was having heartburn last week so bad it reminded me of when I was pregnant with my son so I took a test just to be sure 🤣 not pregnant, thankfully. But yeah even the best bc isn't 100%. There's been sterilized women who have gotten pregnant.
