i've been out to work in the past and found i was worse off, what can parents do to eard cash?Is it worth it for a single parent of four to go out to work?
Try looking for a work at home opportunity. Opening your own daycare, I know people who make money selling on eBay, maybe look into that.Is it worth it for a single parent of four to go out to work?
No. You should stay at home and continue to teach your children that it is ok to have sex outside of marriage. The government will take care of all of your poor choices. Hard work never pays. Right?
Bread winning Exercise .
Well, it depends if you have any kind of support network. I understand the money issue, you would almost have to pay your whole check to daycare and then if you were getting any benefits from the government they would say you did not need them because you were making the money, even though it is all going to daycare. here is a thought, have you tried going back to college?? That way, you can increase your earning potential while maintaining your benefits, get a break from the kids, and probably get some money in your pocket, as your grants for school do not count against your benefits. Other then that, you may want to try and work from home or under the table so that you do not have recordable income until your kids are in school and you do not have to pay as much in daycare expense. Another option is having a teen relative babysit for you in exchange for room and board if they want to get out of their parents house. I am currently doing this.
Well my mum is in the same situation.
She is a single mother of four.
But we are 19, 17, 14 and 12 so can look after ourselves quite well. But she isn't at work ALL of the time.
Try getting a part time job somewhere, anywhere. Maybe go in to working at a school so you work the same hours as your children are at school.
Things such as
-counselling
-teaching
-one of those people who gives special attention to those who need extra assistance etc
Maybe computing at home? Try some things where you can work at home. they'll be good.
Good Luck.
But this answer is probably useless, i am only 14 so probably don't have the life experience to answer this question the way you want it answered!
Day care is a good idea- you know how expensive it is and other people need good care for their children. Even one child a week can bring an extra 100 to 150 a week in some areas more.
YES. If only to get away from them for a while, or to have some type of social life
yes, it good to get away
depends on ages of children as you need to think bout childcare.. how much job pays and if you would be better off? some people think they will be better off but once eveything is worked out your not
Hello Skye,
if the financial benefits aren't there, you have a problem. Having someone look after young children while you work can really take the cream off your wage. With 4 children, I expect you are getting some form of Govt assistance, but it can be hard to make ends meet. There are many ways to utilise the internet to earn extra income, without spending much more than your time. If this idea appeals to you, look me up on Yahoo IM (ozzigold) and we can discuss some options.
Meanwhile, be blessed, and enjoy the time with your children.
the only thing you can do it work,also apply for food stamps,medical help,rental help.welfare is only for five years no matter how many children you have in america.
sure. Secretary, warehouse worker, anything
only get a job where your working 16hrs, you get tax credits depending on the hours you work, so if you got a job for 16hrs per week at 拢8p.hour you'd be better of than if you worked 35hrs at 拢6p.hour, try a call centre, boring yeah, but good money and hours to suit!
Hi there just joined, I was a single mum with 4 children. I went out to work when my youngest was 19 mths.I had to do a lot of planning as I had no family to help, what you should look for is a good employer some company's offer special leave if your children are ill and you will still get payed. I have always managed with childcare, just needs good planning. This summer I have been in my job for , 7 years. I would say going back to work helped me make my own friends and I gain support from them. If you want any advice please let me know. Its not easy having 4 children on your own good luck take care x
Get certified for home child-care, and spend your days with 12 kids instead of 4
There's a lot of websites where you can earn money from home....who knows if they're real, but it never hurts to try if you're desperate. Just type in work at home or earn money from home and you'll probably get hundreds of sites.

Do think it is okay for a parent to deny a child a piecing because they dont like the way it looks?
my mother refuses to let me get snakebites because she doesnt like they way they look.Do think it is okay for a parent to deny a child a piecing because they dont like the way it looks?
no because its your body and your choice ... you should be able to express yourself however you wantDo think it is okay for a parent to deny a child a piecing because they dont like the way it looks?
of course its ok. They are your parents!
First of all, the sole purpose of a piercing is for THE WAY IT LOOKS! So of course they are going to judge it by the way it looks. Girls by the thousands are removing tattoos and closing piercings because they totally regret getting them. If only their parents didn't let them!
This is not a right. It is not something that your parents are mean for ';depriving'; you of. If they didn't clothe or feed you, you could complain, but this is ridiculous. The key word in your question is CHILD.
When your 18 and you still think you want it, then go out on your own and get it, but you have to abide by your parents if you live in their house.
Plus, get real, a lot of these piercings are already cliche' and boring. they use to be something unique, but every other person has one now, so its just common and boring.
Listen to your parents. You might be one someday
I don't really think it should be up to the parent if it's not something that could be harmful to you or someone else, but you're in the same boat with thousands of other 15-16-17 year olds.
Tattoos, I understand parents worrying about. They're permanent. They're often a bad judgment. Piercings and hairstyles... who cares? Change them if you change your look.
your mums right. you'll thank her later on when you apply for a job.
grocery store cashiers... have to remove or cover their piercings. Fast food cashiers the same fate. Alot of jobs shun piercings... you may ruin your chance at a great job such as a banker for having a piercing that is readily visibile on any part other than your ears.
I have to agree that while you live under their roof it's their rules, when you are old enough to pay for your own upkeep then you can get whatever you want pierced.
yes once you're out on your own, you can do what you want.
but until then.. your parents are the ones providing for you. respect them and their opinions.
Yes, absolutely OK. That's what parents are for. If you still want it when you're financially independent, knock yourself out.
It's plenty fair. You live under her house, it's her rules. Wait a few years then get em done.
yes the child should wait untill there an adult then ...simple as that
Yes. That's why they are called parents. They are in charge.
you mean piercing.

What is it like being a single parent?
Is it lonely? Hard to go out with people? Hard to meet new people or get dates? I just want to know how people that have gone through it or are going through it feel...What is it like being a single parent?
believe me its hard.its even harder when you are married.If you are still young enjoy it! What is it like being a single parent?
I've been a single parent for 7 years and would describe life as anything but lonely. It's all what you make of it. I've made it a point to establish a network of friends who are also single parents so there are always fun and kid-friendly activities for us to be involved in.
As for dating... it can be problematic but it's not impossible. I do believe it's a good idea to keep your dating life and family life separated. Sometimes it can be difficult to find people to date who can understand this, and they want to force themselves into my children's lives when I have no desire for them to be involved with them. I think the most important thing is to provide stability for your child(ren). This means that you should try to establish pretty consistent routines and not bring people (dates, especially) in and out of their lives. Only introduce your child(ren) to someone you're dating after you've been together long enough to know that you're in a long-term relationship. For example, my daughters have met two people I've dated in the past 7 years. It won't be impossible for you to establish a relationship, but you should consider your child's need for security before jumping into anything.
it's all those things but when you are a parent your priorities change or should and when you are a single parent its no different only that you are the sole provider of all things spiritual, emotional and financial for those kids. you cannot count on the partner who left to provide for them. when you have kids they are your life and come first no matter what, every decision you make starts first with how it will affect the kids. i was a single parent for many years and yes i went out but never at the expense of my child.
I would say it depends on your personality to begin with. I'm a single mom, and sometimes it's lonely, but that's because I'm not a very social person, and never have been. I don't really have a social life, but it would be that way regardless of being a single mom. On the other hand, there are single moms who are more interactive with others, therefore they have more friendships and encounters with new guys. That's just the way they are, from the beginning.
As far as parenting, I find it easier myself. Depending on the situation, there may be no other parent to disagree with about certain issues, so there is a lot less stress in that area. I enjoy being the only one to make decisions regarding my daughter.
As far as the social life as a single parent, I guess it is what you make it.
Like a lot of other people mentioned, you tend to care more about your child and yourself. Sometimes that seems hard enough to do, without trying to add other people (whether friends or guys) to the mix. Like Johnny's Mommy said, dating for me will come when it comes. I myself am not going to go out looking for trouble - LOL! If it happens, it happens. I'm just fine on my own with my daughter, trying to do my best with that. At the same time, remember to do things that make you happy too!
For me, it's not that lonely. I am emotionally filled by my daughter and she is all I need for now. Then again, I am in my mid-30's. A friend of mine that is in her mid-20's is terribly lonely and is taking it pretty hard. Both of our daughters are 2-years-old.
For me, being a single parent is the best thing I can think of. There's no one to answer to and no stupid man to have to argue with about how to parent my child (which is something I've seen in some of my married friends' relationships).
As far as meeting new people is concerned, I live in a town where the quality of the men is severely wanting so I don't worry about finding a guy. Oddly enough, an old man (that is not from here) introduced me to his son (also not from around here) and we're getting along fine...long distance (he's getting deployed). I'm pretty sure that having the parents involved is the key to happiness.
Just my two cents! :-)
It's the most rewarding thing I've ever done.
I'm not lonely, I'm too busy to be lonely, ha! :) It's not hard to go out with people, I pack my son up and here we go. If you mean dating wise, I don't really feel the need at the moment to date. I'm more concerned with my son and getting him raised to be a well behaved young man. Dating will come when it comes.
It can be frustrating - especially when it comes to being able to afford everything. I'm broke all the time. But I deal with it. I love my son with all my heart and soul and I wouldn't change anything for all the money in the world.
for the first few years the kid will be your priority, asumming that you are commited to parenthood. for that matter you will have a reason to live and as the other person said, you wont care about dates. Thoug, i think that the time you spend on this stage of joy is proportionally inverse to the family you have, or friends. The more support you have, the easier it will be for you.
You make it work. Your kid(s) should come first. It is better to be a single parent than stay unhappy and have your child witness arguments or abuse. It can be hard at times- but not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Dating is not an option for my circumstances (this has nothing to do with the baby) and I had 25 years to go out to bars and clubs and act like a dumb***. Adulthood is very refreshing.
I am a single mom to a 12 y/o daughter and a 9 y/o son...and for me it is extremely hard to be a single mom. I never go out because my ex will not take care of his kids,and I have no family or friends. I am very much lonely and I suffer from depression,not to mention an anxiety disorder and panic attacks.I love my children so much and certainly don't regret having them. I just wish I had a partner in parenting to help me raise them. My son has alot of anger and he gives me alot of problems and it's hard to deal with this on my own. My daughter will sometimes get a bad attitude and talk back to me,and then the two of them will get into fights with one another...and I feel like I am constantly yelling at them. I am so stressed out because when you area single mom you have a really tight budget to work with. I don't know if my kids will even be able to get Halloween costumes this year.
But...my children make me happy because they see that I am doing it all on my own...and sometimes they will say what a great mom I am, that is what keeps me going. I just keep hoping that things will get better and that somehow I might meet someone wonderful to be in our lives. Their father is extremely abusive to me and I would like for them to see how a real man is. So...in my experience it is hard and lonely.
Every choice I make is for the well being of my child.
my job, my shift, my days off, the car i drive,the food i buy,who i date, the words i choose, my actions, the money i spend or save.
Its hard, but with the right support system, it can be done very well.
Remember: You set the example all of the time
I was a single mom ( at a very vary young age) my mom would tell me that no one will like me etc. but its not true. I have my man he was cool with kids. the only thing is i don't go out as much but you can always find a babysitter. sometimes though before I used to get a little sad b/c all my friends were out but that's in the past. Now I am happy with Him and my kids. good luck you will get through it.
Well your priority should be your children, so who cares if you don't get to go out alone or date? There are lots of kid oriented clubs to join, so you meet people with the same interests or circumstance. It's only as lonely as you let it be...
i always tell people that being a single mom is a huge turnon. not to flirt but a single mom is socha powerful person and it shows how strong you guys are. i salute you all for all the hard work you guys do
believe me its hard.its even harder when you are married.If you are still young enjoy it! What is it like being a single parent?

Who else lost a parent, maybe suddenly, when the parent was relatively young?
I lost my mom when she was 52, in late 2004, and it happened suddenly. I think both the suddenness and the young age are bad.
How old was your parent?
I'm sorry if this is a sensitive subject since it is about the death of a loved one.Who else lost a parent, maybe suddenly, when the parent was relatively young?
My mother was 34 when she died of breast cancer..I was 8.It was sudden because back then they were not as well educated about breast cancer ...so from the time she was diagnosed to the time she past it was 10 months...it had gone unnoticed for too long(this was the early 80's) She had a breast removed and started vigurous chemo therapy but all that did was leave her crippled with pain,bald and bleeding from her mouth constantly,her finger nails would bleed as well.I remember the best about my mother though.I remember how beautiful she was,what a wonderful god fearing baptist she was,and most of all how loving to us kids she was...I hold to that always...and keep in mind that if there is anyone that deserves to sit with the angels it is her...and I know for a fact she watches over us...there are way too many instances that I should probably be dead...but because of her watching over me I now have three great kids and a loving husband...this year I turn 35,1 year older than my mother was when she died...I do not ever let that escape me and always live my life to the fullest...I am sorry for your loss...I hope that you have been able to find some peace in knowing she is watching...please take care..Who else lost a parent, maybe suddenly, when the parent was relatively young?
Sorry about your mom.I too have lost Both of my parents.Within 7 months of each other .My mom died suddenly too from a bowel blockage she was only 69 maybe not young in a lot of peoples eyes but it doesn't matter the age your never ready to lose a parent.My dad died 7 months later latterly from a broken heart he just couldn't live without my mom.It has now been a 11/2 years since my mom passed and 1 year since daddy left us and they say it gets easier IM still waiting for that time.EDIT ....after reading others comments I have to say I was lucky that I had my parents for as long as I did.Reading the others here has really made my heart hurts sorry y'all for your lost....
I lost my Dad when he was 58. And it wasn't sudden. He suffered in the hospital for weeks, unable to talk or communicate with us. It was pure hell watching him suffer like that. I really think it would have been better if it had been sudden...his suffering haunts me nearly a year later.
I have not lost a parent i am lucky. I am sorry about your loss.
I lost my mother when she was 38 and when I was 7. Everyone thought she had a whole life ahead of her.

After being approved for being a foster parent in tx how long does it take to get a child?
how long does it take to get approved? how long after being approved does it take to get a child?After being approved for being a foster parent in tx how long does it take to get a child?
My sister just got approved by out county for her foster license, just waiting on the state. Her ';boss'; told her it could be anywhere from 1 day to 1 year, so always be prepared.
How long does it take to get approved?
The classes take about 2 months if you haven't already taken them.
After going through the classes you have to get a background check, finger printed, and fill out a state application. Then you have to have a house inspection done by the company you go through or the city and state, you also have to have a fire inspection done. The fire inspection is done at your cost.
Now on the application that part depends on you, the pickier you are the longer it will take to get a child. I don't know about TX but in Ohio you have to be a foster to adopt, and you cannot choose a race. If you put down say that you will not take white children, you automatically are disqualified because it will deem you racist, and they will not put children into a racist home.
As I said the pickier you are the longer it will take to get a child. My sister and Brother-in-law met a couple who got their foster license through the county almost 7 months ago, and based on the type of children they are willing to take they have not yet gotten any children. This couple isn't looking to foster but adopt and have filled out for a specific type of child.
They will not take children over 4, who have add, adhd, no other learning disabilities, no handicaps what so ever, or no other behavior issues. So based on what they will take they will get passed over until they are a last resort. (what her boss has stated) even if a child were to come in meeting the couples standard.
All in all from classes to getting approved takes roughly 4 months. I don't know about TX but in OH after getting approved you get $300.00 up front for taking the classes and passing all the other stuff.After being approved for being a foster parent in tx how long does it take to get a child?
VERY FAST!!!!! I grew up in a foster home. I'm not a foster child my dad and step mom wanted to have a child, but my step mom couldn't so they did the foster adopt. We always had kids in our house! I remember we had a little 2 yr old a week later and my parents adopted her after 6 months. And we had k8ids in and out of the house all the time.
In florida It takes about a year to be approved, it is a very thorough process, once you are licensed you will start receiving calls for placement almost immediately
If your open to most ages or genders then you could have a baby within days of being certified!concealer makeup
My sister just got approved by out county for her foster license, just waiting on the state. Her ';boss'; told her it could be anywhere from 1 day to 1 year, so always be prepared.
How long does it take to get approved?
The classes take about 2 months if you haven't already taken them.
After going through the classes you have to get a background check, finger printed, and fill out a state application. Then you have to have a house inspection done by the company you go through or the city and state, you also have to have a fire inspection done. The fire inspection is done at your cost.
Now on the application that part depends on you, the pickier you are the longer it will take to get a child. I don't know about TX but in Ohio you have to be a foster to adopt, and you cannot choose a race. If you put down say that you will not take white children, you automatically are disqualified because it will deem you racist, and they will not put children into a racist home.
