    My ex runs into this all the time when hes out with our son.

    People always say things like “giving mom a day off?” Or “got stuck babysitting, huh?”

    When he took our son to a baby group (i had to go back to work first) apparently most of the moms assumed he was a widower. (Why else would he be at a morning baby group?) Eventually one of the other moms asked him, “we were wondering, when did your wife pass away?” - its really ludicrous.

        I agree!! I think there was probably just some kind of misunderstanding, but the lady who asked him was still pretty quick to assume. But still, just a very wild thing to ask somebody even if you were certain they had lost their partner.
