Single Mom & Single Dad Hats

About 22 percent of US children live with their mother only and about 5 percent with their father only, according to the 2023 Current Population Survey figures in the Census Bureau's National Single Parent Day release. Single fathers head roughly 2.5 million households against 7.3 million for single mothers, and they now make up about a quarter of single-parent households, up from about 14 percent in 1960. These hats are for all of them, and for the grown kids who say so out loud. SINGLE MOM and SINGLE DAD are the plain badges. RAISED BY A SINGLE MOM and RAISED BY A SINGLE DAD are the tribute lines, the kind a grown child buys for Mother's Day or Father's Day. THE ONLY HELL MY MAMA EVER RAISED borrows the title of a Hank Williams III song. SINGLE MOM HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ME is the caption single moms really post each June, a joke Romper and goodtoknow have both covered as a debate, so it is worn here as a proud bit and never a dig at fathers. The rest are the good cop and bad cop split, the dad jokes told by the only parent in the room, and the single dad moonlighting as the tooth fairy. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for yourself, or for the parent who did both jobs.
