In a context where almost 45 % of children living with a single mother are in poverty in France according to INSEE, some women are looking for new solutions to lighten their daily lives. This is how a collective organization emerges, already popular abroad, which combines solidarity and common life.
A concept born of mutual aid between mothers
This initiative is based on the pooling of financial, time and energy resources. Instead of managing everyday constraints alone, each mother shares her efforts with others, under the same roof. The result is double: immediate reduction in expenses and constant human support. In a period marked by high inflation, this model attracts the attention of many single -parent families.
Concrete advantages for families
Living according to this mode of organization offers several tangible benefits:
- savings on rent, races and invoices;
- better management of domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning;
- precious mutual aid for childcare;
- A more balanced diet thanks to grouped purchases and sometimes shared vegetable gardens;
- A climate of solidarity that breaks isolation.
The American mother Kristin Batykefer, who chose this model, testified on social networks: “When a mother is sick, others take over to manage meals or take care of children“His video published on Tiktok exceeded one million views, illustrating the virality of the phenomenon.
A trend that also settles in France
Born in the United States, this organization today appeals to French single mothers, especially in major cities where rents reach heights. Some come together via social networks or local platforms to organize their own structure, transforming a daily difficulty into a collective opportunity. The hashtag #mommune already combines millions of views and feeds growing curiosity around this new solidarity parenting model.
