Wait - a  single mom caring for four kids doesn't make living with noise  and
displacement for a week worthwhile for  you?




Ok, poor single mom, but then again she is living in something like a $663k  
house. But then again she may not drive a Ferrari.
 
Perhaps she would be less poor if she downsized into something she could  
afford to own outright and then took several of those hundreds of thousands of  
dollar left over to use in every day life, either principle or interest.
 
Not the woman police officer, which incidentally my wife is, who is in need  
of a handicapped accessible house, at least not to the best of my knowledge. 
In  our community we don't need TV shows to take care of our injured heroines, 
or  heroes we do it ourselves.
 
Marine at the WTC on 911, see above paragraph.
 
Perhaps in this instance just another individual who overcome by the "need  
to breed" as well as to live in a house that might be more than she could 
afford  on her income (yes, she could relocate, many of us with military and 
government  careers did that on a regular basis and survived) but is determined 
not 
to live  within her means. And, of course, we don't know if she is a widow 
without  appropriate peri-fatal incident financial planning or simply a 
divorcee 
who  managed to keep the house and just can't make it on the amount that the 
judge  has stiffer her ex to provide to her, mostly to his financial 
disadvantage. Like  the Naked City, there are a million stories as to how one 
becomes a 
"single mom"  and some may be tragic or heroic, but no such information has 
been provided  here, and there is no reason to ascribe the attributes of 
"martyrdom" to every  woman who assumes that role. After all, in most cases, 
motherhood is a voluntary  occupation, and some even assume custody for that 
non-taxable child support  income. Not all are evil, not all are worthy, most 
are 
somewhere on the bell  curve between villain and virtue, but nonetheless, being 
a 
"single mom" is  neither a synonym for, nor analogous to being worthy of pity, 
charity, or  admiration.
