Single Moms with Sons
Especially important for the newly widowed or divorced: Never make your son "the man around the house." True, you want to teach him to grow to be a man, but there is a distinction between being "a little man" and being responsible for things that adult men are supposed to do. Your child is not your confidant, your knight in shining armor, or your rescuer.

A Quarter A Day
Last year when I was required to go back to work for financial reasons, my mother watched my daughter. Since I had been a stay at home mom since the day she was born, my daughter took this hard and would cry after I drove off. In order to prevent this, my mother decided to put a quarter in the "doggy" bank each day my daughter did not cry. Before we knew it, my daughter had over fifty dollars in her bank. It was a great way to stop the tears, as well as a little savings account to boot!
