How Do Single Parents Make Time to Date?

The U.S. Census Bureau counted 9.8 million one-parent households in 2023. That figure breaks down to 7.3 million mother-only and 2.5 million father-only homes. About a quarter of children under 18 live with a single parent, and 80.4% of single parents are mothers, according to Zoosk. These numbers represent people who manage school runs, meal prep, homework supervision, and bedtime stories before they can think about their own social lives.
