Only for those who are single parents.
…Almost every day…haha…I am being somewhat fecitious but truly, as a single father of two girls, oldest being 21 now, I can say it is now that is the hardest. Because I am constantly realizing all the moments when I should have said this or that or done something a different way. It’s simple to say and yet hard to practice at times but try to be the best parent you can with the thought that every decision you make should be for the child and his or her "future social characteristics", for when they get older is truly when you will know if you "did the best you could". My kids are great kids and I think I worry about them more now than I did at an early age. However, I always questioned myself from time to time as to whether I was being the best parent, I think we should be concerned if we do not question ourselves. Complacency is infectious. Remember, it is easier to raise a child than an adult.
Best wishes to all the Single parents.
I know they can be parent taught at night, but anyone know of any online schools/programs/tutors where their preteen/teen can be schooled while at home?
What curriculum do you most recommend for this age group?
Any single parent homeschool co-ops you know of (in the state of Georgia {Atlanta})?
Following is a link to an online group for single (and married) people who homeschool children of all ages:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WORKandHOMESCHOOL/
I recommend Time4Learning as another responder did; it is affordable, has standardized curriculum, and is affordable. If you pay monthly, it is $20 a month, but if you pay quarterly or yearly, it costs even less.
Regarding single parent homeschool coops, I don’t believe any exist; most single parent homeschoolers just don’t have the time to start coops. Also, homeschooling Single parents rely on family, afterschool programs, married homeschoolers, church members, etc. to help them with their children during the day.
I am a single parent homeschooler, and I literally rearranged my life to be home with my son. Until he was about 6.5 yrs. old, I worked in an office, but now I work from home for West at Home, do contract transcription work, and am a full-time online medical transcription (excellent career choice for those who want to work at home) student.
I hope this is helpful.
Tired and frustrated of hearing all my single parent friends brag about their huge refund checks they get every year. Refunds should be based simply on earnings and how much you paid in throughout the year. Single adults should not have to pay more just because they have not yet chosen to have children or get married….life is expensive for EVERYONE!
your children = your responsibility
You are wrong to focus on "refunds" instead of total tax due.
With the dawn of My Space, Yahoo 360, Friendster, etc. (I like to call them the “poor man’s dating sites, lol). There’s a new form of the “online profile”. These sites seem to set the precedence of how one can now go about putting up an online profile and a certain method of how they present themselves.
I have seen this method used on other regular dating sites as well. This particular format is (for women) to post around 5 or 6 photos of oneself in their bikini or even underwear. Some shove the webcam into their cleavage, and take pictures of certain body parts (no nudity of course, they aren’t allowed on the sites). Online pictures of their butts, cleavage…..more butts and cleavage.
If they don’t want to go the “Bedroom-wear Lingerie” route, a female can always dawn a string bikini, have her posing seductively by the poolside. I have seen some women do it in a cheap manner, they have a picture taken of themselves in the kitchen or living room, as if they put on the bikini JUST for the photo to put online. I was wondering, are these ladies just “wanna-be” models hoping to get discovered?
Granted, I love breasts on a woman, however, to flaunt it online is a bit distaste-ful, wouldn’t you agree? Is this the kind of woman you can bring home to your parents?
Is this woman “Single and Seeking?” or “Single and SEEKING attention? To me, this represents her character immediately.
But, on the other hand, these very same women complain in their profiles write-ups that they get irritated with the “perverted” emails they get from men, and to stop emailing her.
Okay, gentleman, you lucky guys aren’t going to be left out of the mix….you can be just as guilty…what’s with the cell phone pics of you raising your shirt up?
Anyways, it seems it’s more about a popularity contest as opposed to actually seeking a mate or the love of your life. But what’s so important about having a billion people on your friends list or having a full email box? What satisfaction can one get with something like that?
My advice would be to possibly take down all those sleazy photos of yourself if you are indeed looking for a serious relationship, because first impressions are often lasting impressions. I mean what does one get out of it? Even if you have an ego, it probably does very little for it.
I see a lot of people who defend themselves in this, “Well, if you don’t like it, don’t look at it.” Well, that’s kind of hard to do if you’re putting it in our faces all the time. It’s just a find display of one’s arrogance. At least show some kind of modesty.
