Have I heard people say they feel like a single parent? Yes. But that's not what she initially said before she modified her answer. And I just don't believe that is a "slip" that women make. Women who have husbands who are on long term service duty do not say they are single mothers even though their husbands are away and they do all of the parenting.
My Mom said that a few times when my Dad decided to switch careers when I was in my teens. She absolutely felt like, and often said, she was a single mother because my Dad lived in a different city M-F for a while.
They're celebrating their 30th anniversary this month so I think they're doing alright.
How about you stop telling people what they should say.
I'm not telling her what she should say - that's what everyone else is doing - she MEANT this... she FEELS like...
I heard exactly what she said - and how easily she said it before she stopped herself.
All one has to do is look at that picture of Harris and Obama together to know why Michelle is feeling like a single mother. He's definitely feeling "single".

Oooh. Someone's tongue is wagging. Let's see, she's beautiful, ethnic, intelligent, accomplished, a Democrat and she'll probably be Governor of California.
The conservatives will be out in full force gossiping for years to come. Meanwhile AG Harris will have more and more power and will be a force in shaping the new, better California. It's coming. You will hate it. Better duck.
Goo goo eyed. That's the shot the conservatives are taking at her?
Please run the CA Republican gubernatorial campaign on "She made goo goo eyes at Obama!" Please. Someone call whatever sacrificial lamb the Republicans are going to throw into the race and urge him to remind the 4,769 conservative Republicans left in the state in 2014 that AG Harris was giving the come hither look to Obama.
That single mother "slip" goes in the same category when Obama slipped up and said "my Muslim faith" and George S. had to correct him to say Christian faith.
Those are "mistakes" that people DO NOT make. Slip up about being a single mother?? There's no way. Show me the woman who has made the mistake regarding who is the bearer of her children, or the state of one's marriage (in the case that Barack is the dad, and they are separated/divorced). The statement just rolled right off without any thought.
Wow - I did not see this until now. That whole scene in the White House is a total fraud on the country.
Sounds like a verbalization of what millions of unhappy, married mothers across the fruited plain think every day, but are probably too frightened to verbalize themselves.
