Maybe instead of judging her you could offer her help of some kind. Tell her she's doing a great job. Tell her it will get better.
Oh please. That persona should be judged harshly and discouraged, not celebrated.
"It'll get better"? Things don't "get better", she has to make them better.
And your suggestion to "offer her help of some kind" is just as asinine. I, and a lot of other folks, make decisions on how we live our life based on what we can afford and provide for ourselves.
Maybe I spoke too quickly -- here's some "help" to her in the form of some advice: stop wasting money on tattoos, and either stop riding dicks or get a hysterectomy so you don't have any more kids.

Oh I know. It’s a grind, waking up at 4:30 in the morning to get them ready. Then working 10 hours in the summer sun walking miles and miles, then all the kids stuff.
It wears you out.

I hear you. If they can’t handle you at your worst then they don’t deserve you at your best.

You don't have to bathe them every day, and you can cook large meals just two or three times a week and have easy to reheat leftovers.
I just saved you 14 hours a week.

Try working around it every day and they show no appreciation.

I had to go to the Pensacola Department of Health a few weeks ago for work, and I was kind of shocked in a similar way that you a describing. It was depressing as hell.

By the way... single moms aren't the only ones who do this. My wife works later shifts and lots of weekends and I do all this exact same shite. Get off your high horse.

Is she spending your money on tattoos? How do you know they weren't free. How she uses her money isn't any of your damn business.
And how do you know she wasn't using birth control and got pregnant. Sh!t like that happens. Maybe the GUY should have worn a condom. Don't blame her.
I never said celebrate it. I said to stop judging her.
That being said, there are women out there who don't give a sh!t. But we aren't all like that. And to sterotype me into one of those groups is f-ng stupid.

The difference is she has to do it everyday. Your wife doesn’t work late shifts everyday or work every weekend. Surely you can see that difference.
And surely you aren’t implying 2 parents have it as hard as single parents.

You are 100% right. My friend's husband works offshore and her life and my life are pretty damn similar.
I'm not on a high horse. I never said I was better than anyone in here.
I'm trying to show the OP that not every single mom is a crack meth head who got knocked up 3 times in a row and living off food stamps.

No, it doesn’t. Your inability to understand the differences in a specialists and why one may see certain ones should exclude you from further comment

What model is not sustainable?
Tatoos crept into the Dr office.

Ummm, do you take a bath every day? My son NEEDS a bath every day. My daughter is 8 and is able to bathe alone so that does help.

Rotating 4 or 5 weekdays, always a later shift, and at least one weekend day every week.
So only 6 days a week I do it, not 7.
Don't turn this around on me like I'm virtue signalling or bragging, this is all to say the single moms are the ones virtue signalling and bragging about this shite when many other people work hard as parents too. Many single moms think they are the only ones with parenting challenges, like every other two-parent household is the Donna Reed show.
At least this popcorn lady admitted this with her anecdote about her friend with the offshore husband.
