30 Instances Of Single Moms Facing Online Backlash For Their Delusional Demands (New Pics)
Interview
Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world. That’s why it’s crucial for moms and dads to have support systems they can rely on and friends they can share their experiences with. But there’s a big difference between finding a community of like-minded parents online to bond with and begging for handouts from others who can barely support their own families.
Below, we’ve gathered some of the most entitled posts from parents online that have been shared in the Single Mom Is Not a Coupon Code Facebook group. From asking for free furniture to fancy presents for their kiddos, enjoy scrolling through these posts, and keep reading to find a conversation with Mathieu Mall, one of the group's administrators!

Her Kids Have Dirty Clothes? She Doesn't Have A Sink?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago (edited)
Or a laundromat? Heck, or washing clothes in a sink, a bathtub, or a bucket, if she’s that desperate. My mom handwashed our clothes in a bucket with a washboard and hung them to dry during one of the rougher patches of my childhood.
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
When I was first out on my own at 18, and making maybe 70 cents over minimum wage (it was 1979 in North Carolina, minimum wage was $2.75/hour, and I was making $3.45/hour, equivalent to $14.66/hour today), there were times when I ended up with an unexpected expense, like some kind of car repair, that wiped out any small savings I had, so I had to really tighten the belt and cut back for a while. I washed my clothes in my bathtub and hung them to dry on the shower curtain rail. Of course I also had to iron them, as handwashing and wringing out would leave them kind of wrinkled. I made it through the tough times not only by cutting back but also by moonlighting at a part time job in my off hours—-a habit I fell back on many times when I was young and struggling and needed extra cash. You just suck it up and do what you have to do to stay presentable and keep the roof over your head when you’re poor, and work on pulling yourself out of that hole. Bitching and moaning and having hissy fits about it won’t solve it. Grit and determination will.

The Facebook group Single Mom Is Not a Coupon Code has only been around since June 2022, yet it has already amassed over 105k members. It’s quite an active community as well, as there have been 15 new posts today, and 250 new members have joined in the past week. And while you might be thinking that this group is harmful to single parents, as it does shame some, it doesn’t call out anyone who didn’t already make unreasonable requests online.
The group also requires that anyone mentioned in a post must be kept anonymous, so nobody can be doxed or harassed online. From asking for car insurance payments to demanding that others help them put food on the table, there is no end to what parents will ask for online. And while community aid can be a powerful tool for those in need, it’s important to go about asking for help the right way. If you just bought a new car, and now you’re complaining about not being able to feed your kiddos, your priorities might not be in the right order.

A ‘Please’ And ‘Thank You’ Would Be Nice…

Also, she wants leather? She probably should get one made of marine upholstery that’s been Scotchguarded and then wrapped in plastic, if she’s got 3 kids. XD

....and she will want it for free and for someone to haul off her old one.
To learn more about this group and how it started in the first place, we got in touch with Admin Mathieu Mall, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.
"This group comes from a joke between colleagues at work," he shared. "A female colleague who had become single started to ask us for more and more expensive services, like repairing parts of her car or giving her our old freezer, etc. The group was just a 'joke' between us, but as time went by, I saw that it was common on social networks to make similar requests."

The corpse in the passenger side seat is a pedestrian I hit but no child care and no time to wait. Please don't arrest me. Love you thank you for your service.
Mathieu added that he doesn't often see this behavior in France, but he's noticed these kinds of posts becoming more and more common online. And because there are so many funny posts being shared in the group, he has a hard time choosing a favorite.
But the administrator did want to make it clear that he has mixed feelings about the group, noting that he understands where these parents are coming from. "I don't hate single women or those who call for help on the internet," he told Bored Panda. "I think it's a desperate act motivated by a real need: to survive. I'm no one to advise people on how they should lead their lives, or how to survive it. I think in their place I'd do the same if it really worked," he admitted.

If she's too tired to realise she's not parking in her own spot, she's too tired to be driving? Lucky she didn't cause an accident
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
She wasn’t too tired to realize which spot she parked in. She was too tired to spend another minute or two looking for another spot, which is still absolutely not a justification, btw, and thought f**k it, I’ll just park here, I don’t care if it’s my spot or not. Clear case of FAFO.

Know what? A lot of people are very understanding about this. In case you encounter one of those, leave your mobile phone's number in the windshield, and very very likely, people who could get you towed and wait another 2 hours for it to happen would happily call you to resolve the issue within a few minutes. Some may be pissed, but they're right to be so, so ... so ... what even is the issue here? That you carelessly took someone's spot, that they might very rightfully have gotten assigned to them, and it now has a foreseeable outcome that just isn't among your wantsies? Go cry elsewhere, and do so silently, please.
Mathieu went on to note that although there's a funny side to this group, there's also a dark side to it that he takes very seriously. "It's a breeding ground for racists and people with various problems," he noted. "The consequences are often nasty, such as extreme stalking which has even led to someone losing their job. And it often happens that this kind of behavior is reported to me, or the harassment of a single person recognized via their post. I never tolerate this kind of behavior, and it's banned directly."

Learn how to bake cakes and cookies, and decorate with stuff from the dollar store. Then learn how to sew clothes for the both of you, or at least how to thrift. I mean, the kid is only four, ffs. He’s not going to be into fancy parties and high fashion for at least another ten years—-if at all—-by which time you should’ve tried to advance in your company and be making enough money to keep him in reasonably priced clothing that’s in style, if not skilled enough with a sewing machine to make it for him yourself. I learned a long time ago that there won’t be any Prince Charmings coming along to save me from being poor. You just have to be your own hero, and your son’s hero as well. That’s just the way life is. The only person you can 100% rely on the help you when you need it the most is yourself.

I could and have made a childs party baking it all myself, including a fancy cake for about $100. Shame on you for wasting money.
According to the Pew Research Center, the United States has the highest rate of kids living in single-parent households in the world. Nearly a quarter of kids in the US live with only one parent, while globally, only about 7% of children do. After the US, the UK, São Tomé and Príncipe, Russia and Denmark have the next highest rates of single-parent households, Finances Online reports.
And the vast majority of single parents who live with their kiddos are mothers. In the United States, there are nearly 15 million single moms taking care of their families, while there are only 6.5 million single fathers taking care of their kiddos. In fact, women between the ages of 35 to 39 have a 9% chance of being a single parent in the US, while men only have a 2% chance of being single parents.

Here's a hack for fixing a clogged toilet....it works 99% of the time (we've only had to plunge once since starting this). Get some Dawn dish soap (we keep a bottle in the bathroom now and yes, it has to be Dawn), squirt about a 1/4 cup into the toilet bowl, wait 10-20 minutes and flush, repeat if needed. Dawn dish soap breaks up the oil in solid waste, which helps it flush easily down the toilet. Also.... NEVER, EVER flush ANY wipes down the toilet....even if they say they're "flushable"! They're not, we learned this the hard way and had to have a plumber out to clear the lines. We still use flushable wipes, we just wrap in the in a bit of toilet paper and throw them away in the bathroom garbage can.....no more down the toilet (they get caught in the sewer pipes as they don't fully disintegrate and then you get a nasty backup)

"Busy, stressed, and urgently need this resolved because I have kids in house." that's why single mum matters in this context. Girls are still less likely to be taught about diy and home maintenance than boys, so she may have no background knowledge - even as little as knowing that a toilet needs a different sort of plunger than a blocked sink.

So... her baby was born at 6 months gestation and that put her into a coma for several months and she woke up paralyzed from the waist down and can't work? I'm sorry to be so cynical, but who was caring for her older child during this time? How were any of the NICU/medical bills being handled? If all these things happened, maybe her 9-year-old doesn't need a PS4 and she should use that $70 towards necessities.

nancy 1 year ago
For any new parents out there... please don't buy your kids expensive consoles just because they want it for their birthday. If you do, you'll be buying the new model from now until eternity. Tell your child that you'll pay for half if they can raise the other half. Give them chores, etc, and have them take it seriously. Once they realize how much work it takes to raise that type of money, they won't ask for a new model every 2 years... or if they do, they at least know it will take some work on their own behalf to afford it. This is especially important for parents that have money and can afford to give their kids everything.

There’s no question that single parents face additional challenges that married or coupled moms and dads don’t have to worry about. According to Finances Online, 60% of poor children in the United States live in households with single moms. In fact, nearly a third of kids who live in families with unwed moms are in poverty, while only 15% of families with single dads are in the same boat. Single parents spend an average of 34% of their income on childcare in the US, while most families only need to spend around 10% of their income on childcare.

"Hi. I Need You To Take Care Of My Kids All The Time Without Expecting To Be Compensated Much For Your Time, Oh, And That Time Starts At 4 Or 5 In The Morning"
Debbie 1 year ago
Well what should she post then? Lie? She's honest - she clearly has a job but it doesn't pay a lot, but she also has to take care of her kids. How do you work and bring your kids to school? How do you pay a babysitter if you don't have money? Starve your family to pay the babysitter? Unless "willing to work with me please" means do it for free, (might be I don't know the expression well enough), to me it seems she is open for negotiations. Also, sometimes I wonder if people can't stick together more. Like if neighbour a + b also have children at the same school, can all three of them take turns bringing (all) the kids and picking them up. Parttime work is maybe easier here in the Netherlands so my vision on that could also not be suitable for the US.
Rachel Pelz 1 year ago
Do we not read from single dads because they make enough money to pay properly, because they are too timid to ask (thus letting their kids roam around alone?) or because nice friends' mom will readily volunteer, I wonder? Of course,number of single dads is smaller too

Because it's more socially acceptable, apparently, to s**t on single mothers and ignore absentee fathers who do the minimum (if anything) to take care of the children they spawned.

A tax return is never a guaranteed thing, especially "a few thousands."
Being a single parent can make it much more difficult to work 40 hours a week, to have time to prepare healthy meals for the family, to spend quality time with your little ones and to be able to ever relax and unwind by yourself. Growing up poor can also have a huge impact on children’s well being, and they might have experienced trauma through watching their parents divorce or losing a beloved parent from their life. Whether a parent passed away, left by choice, was arrested, etc., their absence can have a huge impact on their children.

Keep the baby in formula, definitely. Unless you’re still breastfeeding, you can always go cheap with your own food. Ramen noodles cost a buck at the dollar store. Ate them myself when I was starting out and struggling. Maybe not the greatest nutrition, but they’ll get you by until payday. Same with generic peanut butter and generic jelly (jam to our European friends) sandwiches on cheap bread. Also ate that a lot back when I was struggling. Kool Aid only needs water and a bit of sugar added. That was my go-to drink back in the day too. No one says it’s easy, but it can be done until things ease up a bit for you—-and they will, one way or another, even though sometimes it doesn’t feel that way. Stay strong, especially for your child.

What annoys me is that -at least in my country- there are online marketplaces where people do give things away for free or for very little money. So whatever you think you need, check there- for functional things, probably not the design/brand you'd pick if you were a millionaire--which you aren't. And THEN, if there is something you really need and can't find, post a request. It's not a shame if you're low on money, but make an effort of your own. Everybody can do that, single mom or not.

According to Marriage.com, some of the biggest hurdles single parents face are loneliness, navigating disciplining their children, dealing with low self-esteem, feeling a sense of guilt and navigating the financial burden of raising kids alone. But thankfully, there are a few solutions that can make parents’ lives slightly easier. When it comes to dealing with loneliness, Marriage.com recommends replacing negative thoughts with positive thinking.
“Redirect your energy to more productive activities. If you are in the custody of the children, then spend time with them. Remember, they look up to you for their emotional needs,” they note. “Similarly, the partner with no children must go the extra mile to socialize and engage in community activities to pass the time rather than wallow in pity.”

This is far from the most entitled. She is willing to pay and sounds like she has legit reasons. She's not asking for a porsche in exchange for social media fame. She's willing to pay money and is looking for reliable transportation. It's a mini-van, not something spectacular. Some folks are just out there trying to get by.

Preferably means she'd go for any other brand, too, right? She obviously lives in a country/area with no/little public transportation. I think it's worth a try. What we do not see here are all the dads paying little or no child support who own cars!!!

When it comes to disciplining kids as a single parent, Marriage.com recommends regularly touching base with the other parent, if they’re still in the picture, to ensure that you both instill the same rules in your kids. If you’re the only parent around, it might be wise to reach out to close friends or family members who can help ensure that your rules and morals are understood by your kiddos. If you’re struggling with low self-esteem, don’t be afraid to reach out to parents in similar situations or a therapist who can help you build confidence.

Your problem with healthcare as I see it, is you live in the US. Meanwhile in the UK - operation is free. Oh, the other problem is that you have a credit card you've maxed out. Credit cards aren't a necessity. Millions live quite adequately with just a debit card and a small thing called "being a financially responsible adult". You should try it some time.
Veronica Jean 1 year ago
I avoided credit cards for that same reason. I felt it was financially irresponsible to have a credit card since you are spending money that isn't yours. Unfortunately, you actually can't get very far without using credit cards. If you don't use a credit card, you can't get a credit score, which means that you can't get approved for mortgage or other massive payments That would be borderline impossible for anyone without deep pockets to purchase. I once wanted to get a more affordable phone plan and was rejected because my credit score was low as I had never borrowed money. I also had to adopt using a credit card in order to qualify for a mortgage. Yes, it is a rigged seystem that hopes that you get in debt.

She could have had other emergencies that required credit card use, and is still paying it back. The first thing she should do is call the credit card company, explain her situation, and ask if her interest and repayments could possibly be frozen for three months. Even if they won't freeze the interest, they may agree to a repayment holiday so she doesn't rack up penalty charges.

That brings up a good point. Where are the fathers of the children these women are raising by themselves, and why aren’t they being called to account for why they’re not supporting their families?

Even if daddy is just a nice regular check in the mailbox, at least it’s something. Why do the men get off scot free in these cases?

I had a car that ran and was in drivable shape. I offered to give this car away to anyone that just needed a car. I got people calling me asking if I was willing to pay to have it pass inspection and got pissed when I said no. So I just drove it to the junk yard and sold it for scrap.
If you’re struggling with guilt as a single parent, remember that this is not productive. Do not blame yourself for the situation you’re in, and remember that you have to be there for your kiddos. You’re doing the best you can, and there’s no such thing as a perfect parent, anyway.
And when it comes to the financial burden of raising kids, don’t be afraid to explain to your little ones that money is tight. But assure them that you’re all safe and that they have nothing to worry about. Making ends meet will take some extra sacrifices as a single parent, but it will be worth it to raise happy, healthy children who always know they’re loved.

My mom went hungry several times when I was growing up. I didn't know how bad things were until I was older and we talked about it. Thankfully those days ended and she hasn't had to go hungry in well over 30 years....but looking back, I love my mom so much for making sure I always had enough food to eat. She worked multiple jobs and learned to cook cheap foods (I didn't know they were cheap at the time) just so I would never go without. Edit: she was a single mom for over a decade before meeting my step-dad (my biodad didn't pay CS consistently and for awhile only took jobs where he would be paid under the table so he wouldn't have to send her/me money).

A friend of mine bought a house and got herself a new washer and dryer. The appliance company was going to take away the old ones for scrapping (17+ years old). I told her to sell them for some token amount of money, just so someone could get more use out of them. The most appreciative young family came to pick them up. They were convinced a washer and dryer together for $100 was a scam, and were very happy to have them.

Just because there is always somebody who managed in more difficult situations, does that make a request for help entitled?

There is a difference between asking and demanding. The last one fits the term "entitled". The first does not. And then there's also begging. While you could say, begging is "dirty" - sometimes it's needed because do YOU approach a person and giving them money, food, clothing when they don't ask? No, because sometimes you can't see on the outside what they need. If you need something, you can ask. If you want something, you can ask. Can you ask for non-essential stuff? Ofcourse! Poor people want to LIVE, not just survive. Most of these were just shaming a person for using the term "single mom" - most were people asking for things, not demanding.
