I had a single mom (Sparkle) and she did fine!

She was one of the rainbow haired girls, and there simply isn't a man out there that would be her match!!

Her and her adopted daughter (Lila) fixed the birdbath together, it doesn't have to be an adult that helps.

In the end she married a man when she was 58 (I thought it was quite cute she could still attract the boys well into her 50s!), but he didn't even last a year before dying.

I encourage anyone to try the non nuclear family approach, as long as an adoptee turns up you'll be sorted for the next generation.

By the way, Lila the adopted daughter had three children, one of which had five children of her own and an adopted son. Now Sparkle's great-granddaughter (Saphiana) is 27
