Hi there, I know this is for single parents, and I am not. I am a child of one and I am studying other people like me. I'm writing a thesis this year on growing up in single parent families to see if there are any adverse effects. (though rest assured ladies, it seems fathers are quite redundant). Anyway, I guessed that the women in this category were most likely to have children over 17 years old who might like to take part. Please just let me know if anyone would? Thanks so much for your time,

Jenna

it would be interesting to hear your take on it.
(as a child of a single parent).

The trend in Europe is that the age for women having children is getting older. The average age here for a first child is now 28. (and teenage/early-20's mothers are practically non-existant).

Lots of women not having kids till their 30's and even 40's. This means you could reach 50 and your kids are between 10 (or under) and 15.

Good luck with your thesis!
