My child's father is not in the picture.
Not everyone is the same.
So if I wanted to rent a place and they denied me because I'm a single parent. That's what I call discrimination.
I wouldn't take it to heart my family has rented our house to a single mother for the last 12 years. I don't think we could have asked for a better tenant. In 12 years we haven't had one issue with her.

Edit:

Also I agree with alwayslive the majority of single mothers I know are very hard working and don't rely on government assistance. You can't paint all single mothers with the same brush
