Also having no father figure and being pumped full of hormones by some roastie middle aged neoliberal mother who documents their mutilation on instagram for social clout. Welcome to Weimar America, kid.
> In 2022, the average size of a single-family home in the United States was 2,299 square feet.
Most are too small, but have you considered a 1,200 sq/ft option?
That's the average size of an American two-bedroom apartment. That's more than enough as a single-level home, but you can add a second storey for the bedrooms *and* make the roof accessible as a "patio" space (constructed properly to withstand the weight, of course.) A "tiny home" can really be whatever size *you* need it to be. Double-wide homes, for example, can range from 900–2,400 sq/ft and have 3–5 bedrooms. They're still "manufactured homes" to qualify for USDA home loans and other federal/ state incentives.
I still think it's the best way moving forward. I'd rather have an "isolated apartment" that sits on my own land than an overpriced, run-down "proper" house that's taxed like the Biltmore Estate.
Solo parent typically refers to a parent who is intermittently and temporarily raising kids on their own due to a husband who's on deployment or some other occupation that requires long periods away from home, so they're not even using the term correctly
