Comma, No Comma


a single, working mom



I vote for the comma, since "single" *could* mean "only one of them."



But, if it is:

a working single mom


(for that matter, if you left out "working," I'd still assume she was employed--I don't imagine many single moms get to stay home w/ their kids)

  1. All mothers are single... one can't have two.

  3. I think the idea is to use the once-loaded "working mom." So I wouldn't use the comma were that the case.

    Although I might point out, as you have, that such a term isn't needed, especially in today's times.
