Sure, people guess. And I expect most still underestimate it by a country mile. It isn’t very openly discussed, because no one wants to impinge involuntarily single-parenthood households.

Being vaguely aware that “single-parenthood is harder than two-parenthood” does not count as informed.

We're openly discussing it right now.

I'm truly baffled by the idea that it isn't openly discussed.

GP isn't saying that this topic is literally censored; he's saying that discussing it is taboo, and increasingly so.

It's not though. There's no evidence of that.

In fact, the very claim "no one wants to impinge involuntarily single-parenthood households" is itself an ironic admission that the difficulties of single-parent households are obvious to everyone.
