Glamorous Single Mother	comment	In Real Life, being a single mother is not easy. Let's be honest here, children kind of need a lot of attention. It can be an overwhelming task for two parents, let alone one who also needs to have a day-job just so she can put food on the table. Because viewing audiences tend not to like being reminded of how tough things can be, TV land has given us the Glamorous Single Mother — a character who juggles children, personal life and work expertly with little trouble or complications. In particularly extreme examples, her life will be indistinguishable from those of similar characters who do not have kids — they'll be little more than an adorable little Plot Device every few episodes. This trope, coupled with Babies Make Everything Better, can unintentionally make getting pregnant appear to be a substantially less physically and emotionally draining task than it really is. It's probably not coincidental that this trope almost always involves upper-middle-class women, as opposed to the working poor. Contrast Single Mom Stripper and Struggling Single Mother.

Glamorous Single Mother / int_1e703d1f	comment	Gilmore Girls uses this, but not in the backstory when Lorelai and the infant Rory were taken in by the owner of the Independence Inn, Mia, where Lorelai became a maid. When they first came to Stars Hollow, Lorelai and Rory lived in the inn's potting shed, and it took Lorelai years to work her way up from being one of the maids to being the manager. When the show starts proper, daughter Rory is a teenager and the relatively easy time Lorelei has raising her can be rationalized along those lines. (And of course, Rory was the world's most well-behaved girl to begin with.) It's said by a few people in-series that Lorelai got lucky with Rory, who was never difficult to deal with. Lampshaded in an episode where Lorelei is invited to speak at the local highschool's career day about being a successful local business woman. The girls in the class assault her with questions about her infamous teen pregnancy instead of letting her give the speech she prepared. She ends up having to state outright that even though she sometimes wonders how her life could have turned out differently, she would not change what happened even if she could (because she would not trade Rory for anything). She even tries to make it clear that she considers herself very lucky in terms of how things have worked out for her despite her pregnancy preventing her from going to college. Later, the mothers of the girls don't care about the nuance of her response (which hinged on loving her daughter) and ambush her for supposedly "glorifying" teen pregnancy to their daughters. Lorelei doesn't take kindly to the implication that she should have said she regrets her daughter.

She is still married, but her husband's not there (he's in prison early in the series; later they're separated) so she acts as single mother to their two children. On the other hand, her children are teenagers so they're more independent, but the only problems she ever has with them are about them mildly rebelling.

Glamorous Single Mother / int_2ef7cb74	comment	Lindy Harlaown from Lyrical Nanoha managed to balance having a successful career as a military officer with raising her son by herself after the death of her husband, then went on to adopt a second child with severe emotional scars. None of this is ever shown to be a burden for her, and she is never depicted as anything less than a loving mother for the entire run of the series. Of course, the fact that her son was serving on her ship by the time of their introduction probably helped to reduce the workload.

Glamorous Single Mother / int_33fdae4d	comment	Mad Men Subverted with Joan Harris on who is gorgeous and well-dressed, and as of Season 5, becomes an Ad Agency Partner. But it's shown that she has to depend on her irritating mother for childcare and that she had to make the infamous deal for her and Kevin's livelihood. Averted with Peggy Olson, who gains in confidence and workplace prominence throughout the series, but as a trade-off had to give up the child she secretly conceived with the married Pete Campbell for adoption. Though it never seemed to be a terribly difficult choice for her, and only seemed to keep it as long as she did because of her family's Catholic guilt. Also played with a bit in season 1 when Betty finds herself momentarily fascinated by a single mom who moves into the neighborhood. A little curious and jealous of the independence she has, but altogether she and the neighborhood collectively blacklist her, and in turn the woman seems to make questionable choices in men without friends to support her.

It is very possible that she inherited the house since when she had a house party, in which she invited Dean, no parents or other relatives of her were shown. Plus, she once dated Dean, who is very familiar with credit card fraud and might have taught her a trick or two.

Jean's predilection of moving to a new state every time a relationship fails would rightly be viewed as a sign of mental illness in nearly any other movie. Here, though, the only apparent consequence of these actions is that her daughter Holly wants to keep her mom from being let down again. How Jean manages to do things like afford a two-bedroom apartment in New York on a baker's salary is...not explained.

She's also disfigured from a badly-healed whip mark (the father of her son was in prison and she tried to break in to see him).

The only concrete detail provided is that Tiffany babysits Kyanna's son for free, although Kyanna does offer to pay her. This was a deliberate choice on the part of the development team, who decided that having too much focus on Kyanna's son and experiences with motherhood would be a "buzzkill".

Myne makes no mention of financial struggles despite Urano's Bookworm habit and her mother's Fleeting Passionate Hobbies that mostly consisted of crafts. There is mention of her trying to save money at some point, but it's presented of having been yet another hobby rather than a necessity. Lack of difficulty with other aspects of raising a child may be justified in part by Urano's borderline addiction to reading making her fairly easy to keep busy.

Stephanie is a widow who doesn't have a traditional job, and while she's not rich, she has enough to care for herself and her son.

So, she's attempting to turn her vlog into a job in the meantime. By the epilogue, Stephanie has a detective business and a TV show, meaning she and her son definitely don't have to worry about money anymore.

However, Ross (Emma's father) is a consistent presence throughout it all - even taking off work for a time to help raise her. The trope is even Lampshaded during her baby shower, where Rachel is starting to panic that she won't be able to handle it. Ross points out that she has overcome adversity before, but also has the benefit of him (already an experienced parent). Not to mention she has a very strong support group around her, who all live locally and are happy to help out. In fact, the ever-dependable Monica and Chandler seem to spend more time with Emma than Ross and Rachel do note Which itself may be justified due to their desire to have kids and difficulties with conceiving one being an ongoing arc once Emma is born .

Glamorous Single Mother / int_fb26bc2e	comment	Naomi Sandburg in The Sentinel travels constantly all over the world, has nice clothes, etc. in spite of being an ex-flower child with a son whose father she's not sure of (or won't admit). Fanfiction often speculates that she comes from a well-to-do family and has a trust fund.
