@yukari リプライ嬉しいです 🙏
そうですね、ワーママも… 五十歩百歩…？
こういうのは本当に感覚的なものなので難しいです。自分でも解答にたどり着いていないのですが、シンママの方は、一つには「シン」が一義的に「新」を想い起させ、漠然と「未熟な・不慣れな」雰囲気がまとわりついてしまうのかな、などと考えたりしています。
でも今はどちらかというと「適切な日本語表現」の方に関心があるかもです 
@adachika192 やっぱり、最近「シン・ゴジラ」から始まって「シン」なんとかっていうのが流行ったのでシンママっていうと「シングルマザー」より「新ママ」の方に行ってしまいますよね。私も、スペースがあればできるだけ短縮しないで使いたい派です。
@yukari @adachika192 This is such an interesting topic. I wonder why there hasn't been a word or phrase that applies to one being a single female parent. I wish I knew if there was a Tagalog equivalent.
(Google Translate)これはとても興味深いトピックです。片親である女性に当てはまる言葉やフレーズがないのはなぜだろうか。
タガログ語に相当するものがあるかどうかを知っていればよかったのに。
@trishalynn @adachika192 I don't know, because the society never recognized them in the past?
Also English words are getting more and more common in Japanese so people have been using just "Single mother" in Japanese pronunciation.
There are many other concepts/words that doesn't exist in certain language/society though. Like "older brother/sister' and "younger brother/sister" in Japanese have its own words for each (ani/ane/imouto/otouto) but in English we have to specify.
@yukari @adachika192 I remember that in Tagalog, there are specific words for older sister, second oldest brother, etc. My dad's nickname is Diko, because he is the second eldest son, and his older brother is Kuya, for the same reason. Ate is oldest female child, but I don't recall if there is a similar word for second oldest sister. If there were, I'd be using it all the time!
Good to know your interest, Trisha-san!
The only term came to my mind was 「未婚の母」(mikon no haha), meaning "a mother not yet married", which clearly is a way short of denoting a variety of situations for being a single female parent.
「母子家庭」(boshi katei), a family with a mother and her child(ren), may come next, which also failed for not meaning the mother herself... 😑
Without being an expert, I could easily imagine it has something to do with the moral about 'ideal of family' in Japan.
@adachika192 わたしも苦手です。ワーママ、という言葉はまだ良いんですけど。シンママは。。。
