Single parents in Kent

Kent is long. Someone in Dartford is closer to central London than to Dover, and a Canterbury parent and a Tunbridge Wells parent are an hour and a half apart. The county reads as one place on a map and behaves like three. Most people here filter by their end of it rather than by the county.

Everyone here is a parent, so the practical stuff — custody weeks, childcare, a reply that comes two days later because it was that kind of week — never needs explaining.
